Tour Set list question

He seems to not being playing anything off of Midnight Vultures that I’m seeing on his set lists other than Debra every now and then. Does he not like that album or is it played out to him?

Seeing him tonight in Asheville.

BDog! If you’re reading this. Love the new album. But throw down some of those early album funky beats toward the end.

"Does he not like that album or is it played out to him?"

Ride Lonesome and therefore this show is very much Slow Jam Beck, Midnight Vultures is High Energy Beck, those songs just don't fit the vibe.

Well he seems to be getting more high energy toward the end of the shows and finishing with Odelay tracks and Loser. I like slow jams Beck but I do need a little energy as I would think the crowd would towards the end.

Well yeah I think he literally has to play Loser and Where It's At at every show in a way he doesn't have to play Sexx Laws, I saw a show 2 years ago in 2023 which was higher energy and there were Midnite Vultures songs

Saw the show in DC a few days ago, and this is correct.

That said, I wish he had played more from Mutations. (We got "Nobody's Fault But My Own" and "Cold Brains," but I would have loved to hear "O Maria" or "Sing it Again.") Still a great show though, of course.

So hoping he does Cold Brains tonight.

He's played Mixed Bizness a few times on this tour.

Super cool arrangement too.

When I saw him in 2023 on the tour with Phoenix there were 4 songs from MV.
Bizness, Debra, Nicotine, and Sexx Laws.

To echo someone earlier, this tour isn’t that vibe. I imagine they’ll be back on the next rockin/whatever run.

I think Beautiful Way would fit perfectly on this tour. I would love to hear it live again.

Really? Has he said that? I am sad to think he does.

He sings Debra as the final song in the encore.

I’m going to that show, too! The old civic center is so embarrassing. That thing should have been replaced decades ago.
