Pre-gig etiquette: do you look at the setlist beforehand?

[Bluebirds]

The internet has a lot to answer for....

Some of the best gigs I've been to involved not looking at the setlist* but now its at my fingertips I find myself anticipating a show by looking at what they're going to do and familiarising myself with some tunes I may not know.

What do you do?

*I should add the reason why I didn't look at the setlist was that a more innocent time, before child pornography, wikileaks, Al-Qaeda training videos and wasted time.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

not only do I not look up setlists if people around me start talking about that sh**, then I tell them to STFU

Depends who it is, like Interpol don't have the same setlist for every gig, so there's no way of guessing what they'll play.

i only do if i'm seeing one of my absolute favourite artists (i definitely do for morrissey), or if there's a specific song i'm really hoping the band will play, and i want to know what my chances are of hearing it.

I have completly lost interest in that circus, which I blame one person for whose concerts were more like having sex with somebody who constantly said somebody else's name.

well now i'm just curious...
