Listening to a new live album from STP that was uploaded to YouTube called Midnight Ramble. Bootleg sound quality but great performance recorded back in 1994 on the Purple tour. I figured it would be fun to compose my own setlist, taking songs from just their first two records and seeing what I could do with the setlist.
1. Vasoline (keeping this as the opening track from the OG setlist because of slow rise of the guitar allows for a nice entry onto the stage)
2. Meat Plow (the album's first track becomes the second here to keep the momentum flowing)
3. Dead & Bloated (the debut's opening track acts as a sort of second concert opener to really get the audience jumping)
4. Sex Type Thing (used as the concert closer on the tour, but I think it works better here because it's an excellent, hype-filled segue from the previous song)
5. Silvergun Superman (originally the second song in the show, here it brings us back to the album that's currently being toured)
6. Lounge Fly
7. Piece of Pie (not in the original setlist but it's a good fucking song)
8. Still Remains
9. Gypsy Davy (a song used as an intro to "Pretty Penny" on the tour, and I'm keeping it because I like the way they flow together - nice little acoustic break)
10. Pretty Penny
11. Creep (keeps the acoustic set flowing, although I'd rather hear full song than the stripped-back version they actually played)
12. Dancing Days (their iconic cover, a better choice than David Bowie's "Andy Warhol")
13. Big Empty (brings the electric guitar firmly back into the mix)
14. Interstate Love Song (iconic single finally gets its turn in the spotlight)
15. Wicked Garden (an STP classic to close off the main set)
- Encore -
16a. No Memory (Intro)
16b. Sin (a nice segue between the short instrumental from Core and the longer, more epic "Sin" to kick off the encore)
17. Crackerman
18. Unglued
19. Kitchenware & Candybars (a quiet moment after the faster two songs prior, allowing the band to start drawing the show to a close)
20. Plush (and what better way to end the show than with the band's most iconic song?)
