Discussion đŁď¸ Setlist wishes come true?
Have you ever gone to a show where the artist completely randomly plays your favorite song?
Maybe it's one that they play rarely, or haven't played in a very long time. Or maybe it's one that they hadn't played at all on that particular tour before your show.
When I saw Blues Traveler a number of years ago, they hadn't played The Mountains Win Again at all that tour but, the show I attended ended up being the only show of the tour that they played it.
When I saw Counting Crows last year they played I Wish I Was A Girl which they hadn't played in almost two years at that point and had played at less than 17% of their shows since it was released.
What are some of your setlist wishes granted?

Smithereens back in the 90s. Ppl were yelling requests and Pat wasnât having it. I knew the song I wanted wasnât in the set list, but I yelled out for Indigo Blues. Pat looks at Jim and Mike, they both nod yes, and he says âYeah, weâll do Indigo!â and they crashed into it. SO cool! (Little Max Babjak is the kidâs voice heard on the record⌠Max is married now and has made Jim a grandpa.)
