I don't know Mank. I rarely want one, though sometimes I'm interested if there was a cover I can't think of, or it's a band I'm not too familiar with and I'm planning to look up a particular album with some songs I liked from the show.
Hell, I can barely remember the shows I went to, and when, much less worry about what the band played at various shows.
Oh, and when Liz Phair was coming, I wouldn't buy a ticket until I saw other set lists to be sure she was playing Exile material….

I couldn't tell you what B&S sang the other night..to me, asking for the setlist is like asking for the script after you've watched a movie.

Some setlists are probably worth big bucks to the right people. I like having some from great shows I have gone to to help remember what I heard. Heck I have the set list for The Go-Betweens from the old club back in the mid 80's. It was a great set.
For shows I was at, sometimes I forget the order or if it is a song I don't know nice to know the name.
Still nothing beats the John Mayer fans wanting his water bottle to get a bit of DNA to clone him (their idea not mine).

Personally, I really enjoy having the setlist. I think it's just one of those cool concert momentos. It's even better if the setlist has been handwritten. I've got a bunch of great setlists…Radiohead from Merriweather, Oasis' first show at the old 9:30 signed by Noel Gallagher, the Stone Roses from WUST (signed by the entire band, complete with guitar picks from Manny and John Squire), Bob Mould (handwritten by himself), Belle & Sebastian from Constitution Hall, etc. etc. It's fun to see what a band played, in what order…I have a bunch of Echo & the Bunnymen setlists, it's just fun to go back and look what they played. It's also interesting to see if they were going to play a certain song, then changed their minds and did something else instead.
I think, though, Mankie was talking about when folks on the board ask someone to post the setlist – i.e., just the list of songs. Not the physical list from the stage, which certainly has memento value for some.
Originally posted by Bagster:Yes, that's what I was asking. I can see some people wanting the actual setlist, like an autograph only better.

last night on xmu ch 43 (yeah, can you tell i talk about it a lot?) tobi played a ton of new-ish B&S songs, very wonderful. not that that has anything to do with the show or a setlist, i just felt like taking up more space on the thread.
