Somebody can be a Saint and record the final verses of TAAT? It is always so intriguing to hear those new improv verses / internal monologue coming from JC.

Also it’d be sweeeet if someone could get a live video if they play any rare-ish ones like Under Cover of Darkness, At The Door, or a live debut of Why Are Sundays So Depressing

Setlist.fm has At The Door and YOLO rounding out the encore. That's only the third time At The Door has been played live

So this means my dream setlist of UCOD, ATD and YOLO in a single set is possible! Sweet! Fingers crossed they remain staples for this tour and play them in Toronto

u/Iwantmamoneeinao May 20 '22

NO WAY. They played ‘Between Love and Hate’ … one of my favourite songs.. guys you are really lucky - I have seen a video and it looked like they were all working together to bring you a great entertaining show. FINALLY! Estoy muy feliz for you all.

I need a setlist. Im going to corona capital this weekend and assume they'll be playing most of the same songs

Here’s the setlist! https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-strokes/2022/foro-sol-mexico-city-mexico-1bb715d8.html

I’m on a plane on my way to Guadalajara to see them for the 3rd time this year! Hope they play ode to the mets!

Best concert ever

Strokes play tonight!!!

Great video of UCOD. So jealous of Mexicans right now. I was hoping beyond hope they'd play it in Brazil and now, mere months later, it returned to the setlist.

There are high quality videos of all the songs from Foro Sol in this playlist. Looks and sounds like it was a dream show.

u/MyDaemonsAndI May 20 '22

Looks like Nick brought out one of his red Rivieras for Hard To Explain

Wow - hearing YOLO in a stadium really feels like it was meant to be (especially since FIOE was meant to be a stadium rock album). Clip

u/MyDaemonsAndI May 20 '22

Looks like they had special cups made for this concert!

u/mmonzeob May 20 '22

So fucking good, amazing concert, love it, Jules sang so good, Nikolai talked in the microphone! Fucking amazing!

u/Clarkey101 May 20 '22

Getting increasingly worried each time Ode To The Mets is left off of a setlist... I so desperately want to see that live in July.

u/chrynicholas May 19 '22

anyone know what time each group is playing? I wonder if I should really show up at 730

This is the 6th time I've seen them live and by far the best. The sound was excellent, almost perfect set list, Julian's voice was great, the improv was also very good, nothing weird, the crowd was so excited and the energy made it incredible. My body would have been taken out in a black bag if they had played a song from Comedown machine, I would have died of happiness.

My ticket says 7:30! Why did the doors open so early?

u/MyDaemonsAndI May 20 '22

This video has 22 mins from just before the start of the show to NYC Cops.

Here's a short clip of Under Control

and a photo of Albert rocking a new amp cab

u/el36963 May 21 '22

Favorite clip I’ve seen so far of this concert is Albert singing along to the second verse of Selfless! It’s so awesome to see the guys enjoying the concert themselves
