[kj] [KJ] Pylon Tour Setlist poll....

[Jim Harper]

That recently-posted interview with Jaz suggested the four of them have difficulty agreeing. If they all have differing ideas about what to play, setlists are going to consist of the tracks they can agree on, and committees always end up taking the least controversial path.

I really don't mind hearing Love Like Blood, Pandemonium and Requiem. Ignoring MMXII would be criminal, and there's always room for tracks from WTF and Revelations. I'm not terribly bothered by the absence of material from BTATS, OTG and Democracy. If they have to play 2001, I'd rather have Seeing Red than Asteroid.

Jim.

 Let’s up the blasphemy ante, shall
 we?
 KJ
 songs I never need to hear live again:
 “Communion”“Asteroid”“Pandemonium”“Change” “Requiem"
 I mean, I’m not knocking these
 songs, per se, but really….. let’s mix it
 up. 
 How
 about “Nuclear Boy” or “Nervous System” instead of
 “Are You Receiving?
 How
 about “Europe” or “A New Day” instead of “Love
 Like Blood”?
 I’d
 honestly love to hear them pull something out of left
 fucking field — how about a re-imagining of
 “Tiahuananco”?

  So let
 us cynical (realist?) gatherers predict the setlists for the
 upcoming shows.....My bets,
 nothing from Hosannas, Democracy, OTG, BTATS,  doubtful
 anything from MMXII, andI am guessing
 a possibility of Depthcharge from AD.5-6 Songs from Pylon, and the usual
 suspects of The Wait, Wardance, Requiem, Psyche, LLB,
 Pandemonium and Asteroid.As
 much as I am looking forward to this tour, the main problem
 now for KJ is the length of their shows...with the frenetic
 nature of their tunes, along with their laziness and being
 at loggerheads on their archive we will never see
 the  output  that bands such as The Cure have done
 with 3 hour shows encapsulating much of their career.I have never seen KJ play for longer
 than 1.5 hours, many times not even coming out for a second
 encore.  With each passing album and having the same
 core repertoire over the same length of show I can see
 albums snubbed increasing.
