Potential Set List "Sadness"

As an over-planner, I have been "studying up" on SETLIST.FM, primarily from Rockville and/or recent shows and it looks like we won't get:

  • Kick ### from Egypt Central (this would have been the perfect opener on day 1!!)
  • The End Aesthetic from Wind Walkers
  • Stitches from State Champs
  • Footsteps from Pop Evil (due to a SHORT set)
  • Clones from Chevelle (they haven't played it in forever, I know)

Kidding about the actual "sadness" as I know set lists get slashed at festivals and ready for a HUGE weekend regardless.

I shared this format last year and tweaked it up of bit for this year and am sharing in case it helps anyone with schedule planning. Qualifying things with I am 57, grew up on metal and am a total research-a-holic. So, I've added reminders of sorts to leave early, choose between options and, yes, even rest my wore out ###. I will be studying the setlists (on setlist.fm), especially from Rockville, to plan things to get to see parts of multiple bands which overlap. As an example, Black Label Society usually reps with Stillborn (which I don't want to miss), but also REALLY want to catch Feel Good Drag by Anberlin, which they generally have closer to the ends of their sets. AND, would love to catch Dayseeker's Pale Moonlight, but would also love to catch Breaking Benjamin's Polyamorus towards the end of their set. The bolded stuff is just for giggles reminders of Bands I want to be there early for to trying and get "close" (kicking off right away with Egypt Central). So hoping Chevelle plops Clones on their setlist to poke fun at Tool Fans (I have seen them 5 time recently and doubt they will and NEED to add I am a HUGE TOOL fan too). I also love the Pop Evil add, but wish they had more than a half hour as songs like Footsteps won't make the cut. SO MUCH MORE. Remember to be kind to your elders kids! Hope this helps!!
