Red Mosquito

In this thread, post your ideal setlists. Try to make them relatively accurate to the length the artist would typically perform. Explain them if you want. Defend them if you must.

I set out to design the ideal The National 25 song setlist (I cheated, this is 26 songs). After much listening and careful consideration, this is the setlist/playlist that I’d most like to hear. Hits, deep cuts, album variety, song flow, this set has it all. Comment and post your own lists, knuckleheads.

You really thought this one through

Love this idea and I must contribute soon! Mine will include a cover or so from this band that is normal for them to play, but I gotta curate this thing. Hard work.

Let’s get that 311 setlist
