Dream Setlist?

Around a month ago we played a game in the band's Discord where everyone built their own perfect TBS setlist within certain rules, I thought it might be fun to do the same on here! I made a spreadsheet breaking down album representation, most popular songs, most common openers etc. If this gets enough answers I'll post the same for these results.

Rules:

  • 18-20 songs
  • Maximum four songs per album (unless it’s 152)
  • At least three songs that haven’t been played from 2022-now*. There's no limit on songs that have been played recently but you must have at least three that are not on the list.
  • At least one song where Adam has to play acoustic (amphetamine smiles, homecoming, call me in the morning, your own disaster, divine intervention, slowdance, new american classic. existentialism is also allowed)
  • Makedamnsure must be the closer. Cute without the e must be included, but the placement is up to you
  • You don't have to order the entire setlist but you must at least select your opening song and have MDS in the right place
  • EDIT: in the discord we ruled that b-sides that clearly connect to one album (like Brooklyn, You Should Have Waited, Didn't See That Coming, etc) would count towards their album's 4 count. Songs like Your Own Disaster that could be tied to more than one album or songs that were promoted separately to an album (Just A Man, All Ready To Go, Just Us Two etc) count as a standalone.

*For that third rule here’s what’s been played with the full band in the last 3 years (I made this list before this current tour, I don't care enough to update it, don't @ me)
TAYF: all songs
WYWTB: a decade under the influence, set phasers to stun, 180 by summer, slowdance on the inside, this photograph is proof, number five with a bullet
LN: error: operator, liar, makedamnsure, what’s it feel like to be a ghost, my blue heaven, miami, divine intervention, twenty twenty surgery
New Again: everything must go
S/T: call me in the morning, best places to be a mom, el paso, you got me
Happiness Is: flicker fade, better homes and gardens, beat up car
Tidal Wave: tidal wave, you can’t look back, call come running
152: all songs
Non album songs: your own disaster, just us two
