What Songs Have You All Seen Live In Concert?
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 3:57 am
Ever since I started regularly seeing Al in concert, I’ve always liked to keep my own mental list of all the songs I’ve seen him perform live in person. I don’t know if anyone else likes to do this or think about this sort of thing, but sometimes I like to think about how different every other fans’ list must be since we all became fans of his at various different points in our lives and his career. I’ve especially been thinking a lot about that aspect this year in particular since Al just this month completed a tour where he performed a completely different setlist of songs every single night and now I’m 100% convinced that no two Al fans can have the exact same list now!
Anyway, I’ve always wanted to create a new topic/thread on this forum where I finally post my mental list, finally committing it to the printed language and encourage others who might be interested to follow suit just to see exactly how different each of our own lists are. Obviously, I figured the best time for me to do this would be after this years’ tour had ended and all the different setlists had been compiled and all the audio was on Stitcher Premium. I mean, we already have a whole “how many concerts have you been to thread” and a complete thread of all of this years’ setlists. I thought this thread would at least be a nice companion piece to either one of those.
Again, these are meant to only be lists of songs you have seen live in person at the concerts you have actually attended. Please do not include any songs that Al has done live that you have only seen via prerecorded clips after the fact. However, feel free to include any covers from this years’ tour and songs you may have seen Al do at various odd one off/live TV/charity type performances since I know some of you who live on the west coast (or are otherwise big appearance chasers) are inclined to attend those things.
For the purposes of making it slightly easier to differentiate which tours I have and haven’t seen Al perform on, I am going to list each “unplugged” version of a song or otherwise alternate or concert only arrangement as a separate song. I would encourage the rest of you to do the same. Songs I have labeled with one asterisk (*) are songs I have only seen as part of a medley and not in full. Songs I have labeled with two asterisks in a row (**) are songs I have seen both in full AND in part of a medley.
EDIT: 8/3/19 - After having seen Al perform on his Strings Attached tour this year, I have now decided to just italicize the names of the songs I have seen him do with a full orchestra. Since Strings Attached seems like a one time only type of tour he will most likely not be reprising the next time he goes out on the road (much like how the previous year's Ill-Advised Vanity Tour was a one year only deal), it's pretty obvious that I've only seen each of these songs ONCE with an orchestra as Als' Red Rocks show was his only show I attended on the Strings Attached tour so I didn't bother to separate them into another whole category just yet.
EDIT: 1/24/23 - Yeah, I finally got around to updating the list and the new totals from the two shows I made it out to see on the 2022 leg of the Vanity tour (boy, thank God I turned out to be as wrong as I was about THAT being a "one year only deal", huh?) thus making this the complete, definitive list it deserves to be.
Now, since most of us have seen Al in concert multiple times across several tours, there are certain songs we’ve all seen Al do several times if not at each and every one of the concerts we’ve all seen. Therefore, I will be marking each song with the sheer number of times I have actually seen it done live on stage. This is something else I would encourage the rest of you to do if you are also going to be making these lists with me.
Finally, I am going to be listing my songs in chronological order by album tracklisting with all of my concert only/non album songs listed at the very end. I find its’ the easiest way for me to get this organize but you can do it in whatever way makes the most sense to you.
