The Ultimate Motion City Soundtrack Setlist

Like I said last week - my favorite number is 22 and I have 22 song setlists for all my favorite bands. I discovered MCS late in the game (between 'Kills' and 'Dinosaur') and the two times I saw them live we're heavy on new stuff. So my playlist is too (also, 'Go' and 'Panic Stations' are my favorite records of theirs. I hated that they broke up because to me, they just kept getting better).

1. Hold Me Down
2. Anything at All
3. The Future Freaks Me Out
4. Her Words Destroyed My Planet
5. True Romance
6. It's a Pleasure To Meet You
7. Bottom Feeder
8. Last Night
9. Timelines
10. TKO
11. Give Up/Give In
12. When You're Around
13. Antonia
14. My Favorite Accident
15. Gravity
16. Heavy Boots
17. The Worst is Yet To Come
18. Everything is Alright
19. I Can Feel You
20. Autographs and Apoligies
21. The Weakends
22. Even if It Kills Me

 

Solid setlist all around. I especially like the one-two punch of Indoor Living and Time Turned Fragile. Those are my two favorite songs of theirs, and I never got to see Indoor Living.

 

I really enjoy these.

 

No love for Capital H really?!

 

1. Attractive Today
2. Everything Is Alright
3. Disappear
4. Anything At All

14. Perfect Teeth
15. A-Ok
16. I Can Feel You
17. Fell In Love Without You
18. Time Turned Fragile
19. My Favorite Accident
20. Even If It Kills Me

Encore
21. Hold Me Down
22. The Future Freaks Me Out

PS, I love these. Keep em going!

 

Great list! I'm curious about the set list they've been playing on their final tour.

 

I'm not crying, you're crying

 

Totally into it, please keep them coming.

Are you going to be doing this for all bands going on big tours? I would definitely enjoy it for some big upcoming summer and fall tours.

 

I wish more people loved this movie.

It's seriously my 2nd favorite movie ever!

 

Really like this playlist. I love that you used the red dress and mary without sound. Such underrated songs!!

 

Last song cut! Good call. Just wanted to even it off a little bit more and get one more Even if It Kills Me song in there.

 

At Shaky Knees this weekend so I didn't have time to come up with reasons for my picks. Suffice to say this one may have been even tougher than Jimmy Eat World. Lot of great songs cut.

I'll try to check in later on and discuss some of it with you guys.

I'm open to suggestions on bands you think would be good for this feature and I know a few other staffers are working on setlists of their own. So yeah this is definitely something I can see continuing

 

Love the inclusion of Mary...but Red Dress is one of my least favorite songs on that album.

 

This is what they played in Portland to open the tour:

 

Absolutely do not want to derail this thread, but I thought this might be a nice place to drop the Motion City tribute compilation a bunch of us Chorus members put out about a month ago, for those who haven't heard it!

 

Just saw them on Wednesday in Anaheim, and honestly... having a hard time coming up with a better set than they did. Here it is, and guess what? 22 SONGS!!

1. Back to the Beat
2. Cambridge
3. Capital H
4. Her Words Destroyed My Planet
5. Anything At All
6. True Romance
7. It Had to be You
8. Make Out Kids
9. Time Turned Fragile
10. L.G. FUAD
11. Last Night
12. My Favorite Accident
13. This is for Real
14. Attractive Today
15. Better Open the Door
16. Broken Heart
17. Hold Me Down
18. Point of Extinction
19. Everything is Alright

Encore:
20. When You're Around
21. A Life Less Ordinary
22. The Future Freaks Me Out

 

Such a great idea! Loving this, would definitely like to see more of these. MCS are such a solid band, each album seems to represent a different time in my growing up and will always be grateful for the soundtrack they provided.

 

I just saw their farewell show HOB Anaheim and I stood their like an idiot with my hand in the air for at least 10 minutes after their set finished cause I just wasn't ready to walk away

 

Great call for The Weakends as opener.

 

I Can Feel You!

 

You ever see them do that as the intro? They used to do it back on the my Dino tour. Just Tony would walk out on stage and play the drum intro over and over and then the band would come on stage and kick in.

 

I'll preface this list by saying that once when I saw them at Bamboozle, they opened with the start of "Worker Bee" but then, right at the beginning, when Justin said "I deserve a gold star..." he took a deep breath and they went right into "The Future Freaks Me Out" instead. One of the coolest moments ever. That said, I still think "Fell In Love Without You" is the best possible song to open a set to for them.

Fell In Love Without You
Shiver
When You're Around
It Had To Be You
True Romance
Feel Like Rain
Better Open The Door
Broken Heart
Her Words Destroyed My Planet
It's A Pleasure To Meet You
Pulp Fiction
I Can Feel You
My Favorite Accident
The Weakends
Perfect Teeth
L.G. FUAD
Don't Call It A Comeback
A Lifleless Ordinary (Need a Little Help)
Mary Without Sound
The Future Freaks Me Out

ENCORE:
Hold Me Down
Everything Is Alright

 

No I didn't. I went to the Dino show right after the album came out in Atlanta, and they didn't play it(played the rest of my favs off MDL though). The next show they did in ATL was when they played it as the opener. Dammit that sounds awesome.

 

Lot of Commit this to memory. A sprinkle of I Am the Movie. A dabble of Even if it Kills Me and 1 from Go and 1 from Panic Stations
