The Ultimate Travis Setist

[paul_c]

Let’s play a game…

You are the Travis Tour Manager for a day. You are in charge of what they play, where they play, and how they play a gig.
What 20 songs make up your ultimate Travis concert? 🙂

The rules of the game:
1, 17 songs in the main set, with a 3-set encore.
2. Pick songs that have a good running order like a real setlist (think big hitters to open and close the set, but remember to hold something back for the encore)
3. Choose songs that would make YOUR ultimate setlist- don’t worry about crowd-pleasers!
4. You can only choose songs that Travis have recorded/played before.

Go!

I would keep their actual tour setlist with some changes…
– To open the show: Chinese Blues
– To end the show: The Humpty Dumpty Song
– I would add one-two song requests by the crowd each show in the middle of the show, so everyone could hear their dream songs live🤭 (giving priority to underrated songs or the ones who are barely played live)
– I would add Pipe Dreams🥹

The Imperial Family theme?

[Fran]

Was just talking to Adam Buxton about this. He wrote a pastiche of half a world away for the Adam and joe show Star Wars figure version of The Royle Family.

[elizad73]

Not quite a set list thing but I have a question about Adam. I’m sure I read he’s in the Bus video (my current fave song and vid) but is he driving the bus and you never see his face?

[paul_c]

Good to know! Cheers Fran

Travis will play this set at Kelvingrove Bandstand in the west end of Glasgow, on the sunniest day of the year… and because there’s no WDIAROM in my setlist, it’s GUARANTEED not to rain! 🙂 On stage, they will be joined by a string quartet to beef up the songs that have strings – and a choir will join them on stage for J.Smith.

Oooo, Ok! This dream setlist would be played during sunset on Lake Michigan. Simply because it’s my happy place.

Ok. I’m actually obsessed with this playlist and think they should do it IRL. 😀

[paul_c]

Alive into Eyes Wide Open (or vice versa) is another one that would work

[jberry]

I remember in the j. Smith tour when they went side into eyes wide open back to side during the America tour. It would be awesome on future dates if they could find any songs that worked well together
