Bright Eyes Set list

Anyone have the set list from the Bright Eyes Show?

I thought last night's show was a bunch of self-indulgent wank. Very little from "Lifted" or "I'm Wide Awake". Even M. Ward couldn't lift the performance.

For the passion with which fans speak of Bright Eyes/Connor, the crowd seemed really bored last night.

Sounded like a bunch of his set was from the upcoming CD. I thought the show was great. I've never seen Bright Eyes prior to last nights show, but can anyone confirm if there was a lot more jamming out this time around than prior shows?

Anyone know what the second to last song was?

That was June on the West Coast, off of the Letting off the Happiness album.

I though it was a very good show, but it was way too loud!

Indeed, there was a lot more "jamming out".

yeah, considering this was a "warm up" tour i thought the show was very good. connor seems to be more "together" on stage and there was a new tune played early on that rocked my head!

I too would of liked to hear some more older material, but thats not what this tour was about. he will be back soon i'm sure.

I don't think Conor was feeling the crowd. I was getting pissed off at the assholes who kept yelling "Play Poison Oak." It's a good song, but just let them do their thing.

was he an opener or playing in the band? I love his new album

M. Ward played the last 2/3 of the show in the band (guitar, harp, and backing vocals).

It was a more boring show than usual because of all of the unfamiliar songs on the setlist. Still a good performance though.

Also, I can't wait until they come back and play DAR…you're less likely to hear the stupid assholes in the crowd who yell things like "my girlfriend loves you" or "I stopped masturbating for you!"

ah the new song was Middleman, here is a clip:

very Cure inspired if you ask me.

brilliant!
b…

Why does M. Ward have to associate with that little wanker? He's so above him!

"He played very little from "Lifted" or "I'm Wide Awake"."

Frankly, I think he's moved on as an artist since "Lifted." I was happy to hear the new stuff, that's what I went for, and I thought the band sounded great.

It was funny last night when he responded to people yelling for older songs by saying something like "we already played those songs…4-5 years ago. it was great."

The best tour is still the Lifted tour with the mini-orchestra and Winona Ryder watching from the balcony…

Frankly, I think he's moved on as an artist since "Lifted."

That is a bizarre statement, seeing that he closed with "Make War" from Lifted.

I realize he was playing a lot of new material. I actually thought the new stuff sounded good. However, to me, playing few of the songs that people really hope to hear is pretty unfair to the people in attendence. This is especially true when he is willing to play cover songs and allow a member of his band to play a song from a side project.

I wasn't paying to go see an "artist"; I was paying to be entertained.

i LOLed

Bands usually play small shows like these for the soul purpose of road-testing new material. I got exactly what I expected last night and thought it was a solid show. The new material is on par with anything on lifted or I'm wide awake.
