Enter the Soul Asylum

I am never disappointed with the set list, but I always have a dream set list in mind. It changes over time. This is my current "dream" set list, though songs need not be played in the order listed.
All is Well
Be on my sie
Gravity
Misery
Somebody to Shove
The Streets
Cartoon- Gone 'til November
Black Gold
Runaway Train
Sometime to Return
Oxygen
Whatcha Need
Without a Trace
Closer to the Stars
Stranger
Into the Light
Long Way Home
Stand Up and Be Strong

I'm sure we all have our dreams lists and I'd love to hear yours. See ya all in Minneapolis. Peace. Laurel

Out of the top of my head in random order:

Freaks
Little Too Clean
Closer To The Stars
Marionette
Ode
Sometime To Return
Grounded
Get On Out
All the King's Friends
We 3
Something Out Of Nothing
Nothing To Write Home About
Just Like Anyone
Creatures Of Habit
See You Later
New York Blackout
Losin' It
I Should Have Stayed In Bed Today
Cradle Chain
Close
Lately
Oxygen

I know they always tend to be special with their christmas shows, breaking out old songs etc. I hope there are some oldies that haven't been played in years. I'd love to hear a Freaks, but not sure how well that would translate to the guys doing it 20+ years later. I would love to get a chance to see passing sad daydream, I know they've done that a handful of times in the past 10 years. Stranger would be a treat, but they've done that somewhat recently, so hopefully that's a "given".

I'm hoping for at least a couple new songs thrown in there, and most importantly, I hope the band gets in some good cover songs, and preferably a medley. I always loved their medleys, and I think a christmas medley would be appropriate... I do have a copy of dave and dan playing little drummer boy which is a classic, not sure of any other christmas songs they've done.

There's no way I could not contribute my list. It's just an irresistible thing to think about!

Here's my dream set. I think it's a great mix of old and new, standard set material and rarities, originals and covers.

1. Spinnin’
2. Somebody to Shove
3. All is Well
4. Gravity
5. Easy Street
6. Without a Trace
7. Never Really Been
8. Closer to the Stars
9. Sometime to Return
10. Marionette
11. The Streets
12. Lately
13. Something Out of Nothing
14. Ain’t That Tough
15. Just Like Anyone
16. Be on Your Way
17. Chains
18. Passing Sad Daydream
19. Stranger
20. Rhinestone Cowboy

The other song I'd love to see them do is one they haven't really done as soul asylum (just a dave solo show where dan showed up at): Artificial Heart... If they could pull that one off in an encore.... it would bring down the place. And of course, if they did this, it would have to be dedicated to Karl... no questions asked!

My dream would be to $hit can the opening act (not just this year but every year); sorry to "The Figgs", nothing personal.

I'd like two sets; 16-18 songs in ech set with a break in between.

It's the 20th anniversary of "Horse"; I'd like to celebrate this. Veil of tears, Spinnin', Easy Street, Gullible's travel would be a must but any song would work... just more of them.

The non- staples...
Passing sad daydream (In my mind; SA'S anthem)
Stranger
P-9
I did my best
Marionette (I think this would be a great opener; move STS towards the end of the set)
Long way home
Eyes of a Child
Black star
Any 3 of the new songs
Any new song on the upcoming cd

Nothing from CFAS

No cover medley's

dreaming...

The Figgs are dynamite. I almost never want to see opening acts, but this show is going to be AWESOME!

^ so who do you think the bass player will be for SA that night (seeing as the Figgs are in house) ?

I have a feeling Tommy will be at this show, I don't think he has other commitments at the moment. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Pete plays or sings on a couple songs with them. Hell, it would be great if all of them come out during the encore for some covers.
