So what songs are you dying to hear ?
I used to absolutely love hearing all the really old songs, but now I've got wish list that's really heavy on songs from the last 5 or so years.
I've never heard "the snake" live, and I have visions of that song just being awesome live. I've been listening to Tears a lot, I should pick up the new one today, and then start listening to the last 3-4 albums again. ugh so excited for this tour. |

I don't really have too many specific songs I really want to hear other than "If It Takes All Night," but I hope that the new band approaches some Pixies stuff. I would like to hear some of the old numbers arranged the way FMRM is. Other than that, I just hope the material spans his whole carreer somewhat evenly and doesn't ephesize the new stuff TOO much.

If I could hear Cult of Ray the song, which I've never heard him play live, I'd be a real happy guy.
And Man of Steel, which I've heard a few times, but is always amazing in concert. |

Wouldn't it be cool to get invited to watch the rehearsals for the upcoming tour? |

If he's gotta do Pixies stuff I would have to say:
Velouria, Motorway, and maybe Palace of the brine or Caribou
I love Trompe Le Monde, but don't know if I'd enjoy it as much without Kim backing vocals, not to mention Joey on guitar (the solo toward the end of the song is absolutely haunting). |

What about This Old Heartache? I bet that would be great live solo... |

I think the setlists he's been doing solo recently are as cool as anything. I'm honestly hoping the FM/RM quotient does not increase, but, I'm kinda thinking it will with the band... |

I'm also hoping for a lot more FMRM stuff than we've seen on the set lists so far. The only other tune I'd really love to hear that he hasn't played yet is Dog Gone (OK, and Solid Gold).

Not to be a downer on the wish lists, but given the paucity of FMRM stuff on the solo acoustic tour, I can't be the only one thinking the fall band tour is gonna feature a decent dose of the new stuff, right?

I just don't see Chuck asking the Nashville fellas to learn much of his real nasty stuff. Maybe if Buckethead was touring with him... |

First time poster. Does anyone know if he is touring with a full ensemble (piano, harpsichord, various guitars incl pedal steel, accoustic, electric, banjo, et al)? So many of his songs are great, but there are a selection, such as Bullet, Chipaway Boy, and St. Francis Damn Disaster that are beyond great because of the various progressions of sound from the beginning through the chorus. Take Chipaway Boy. To hear it from the beginning, with a saloon piano churning out a sympathetic chord pattern, joined like a cayote in the moonlight by a gently amped steel string, and then hear the interuption of the electric, and accoustic and bass pull it down into an avalanche where it gets ridden into the ground by a stagecoach of a drum beat, pressing faster that little piano melody - well that's just perfect. Same with Bullet. I used to listen to it with my headphones on and count the instruments as they joined in. I think I counted 7. So if he brings the band, i hope he brings the whole shootin' match. Otherwise, I'll catch him solo. |

15. Massif Centrale
16. Robert Onion
17. The Scene
18. Two Reelers
19. Bullet
20. Fitzgerald
21. Elijah
22. The Swimmer
23. Chip Away Boy
24. Fast Man
25. In The Time Of My Ruin
26. I Think I’m Starting To Lose It
27. Calistan

Only the first half? That beautiful guitar solo at the end is probably my favorite individual part of Honeycomb. |

TOTY: Superabound, Freedom Rock, Space IGDMG
Cult of Ray: Kicked in the Taco, Men in Black, You Ain't Me

FB&C: Dog Gone, All My Ghosts, Steak 'N' Sabre
Pistolero: Western Star, Skeleton Man, 85 Weeks
Dog in the Sand: The Swimmer, Bullet, If it Takes All Night

St. Francis has never been performed live (i think maybe once) because FB says he "can't remember the lyrics." That is why i doubt it'll be played.
