    If Pink Floyd would go on tour again, what is your setlist for a gig?

    Saw this question on Reddit this morning, and I had a lot of fun positing a potential set list. Thought that I'd carry the discussion here. Without further adieu, here is my candidate set list:

    Pink Floyd - 2023-04-06 Fantasy Park Festival

    Set I
    1. Astronomy Domine
    2. See Emily Play
    3. Breathe / Travel Sequence / Time / Breathe
    4. Fearless
    5. Raving and Drooling
    6. Granchester Meadows
    7. Shine On I-V / Have a Cigar / Shine On VI - IX
    Set II
    1. One Of These Days
    2. Atom Heart Mother
    3. Welcome To The Machine
    4. If / Careful With That Axe, Eugene
    5. Us & Them
    6. Cymbaline
    7. Childhood's End
    8. Money
    Encores:
    1. Arnold Layne
    2. A Saucerful Of Secrets
    3. Echoes
    I figure the show goes around 3.5 hours or so (and with ticket prices being what they would be, that seems about right).

    Okay, your turn... let's see 'em!
    Off surfing with Linda, of course...

    I'd pay handsomely to see that show but they can skip Grantchester Meadows. Never was a big fan of that song and it's because of the birds on a loop. Starts out ok but eventually all i hear is the same bird noises over and over and over. That would be when I hit the bathroom or the concession stand.

              Set 2 is pretty much the first half of my spring playlist which has been playing all week while I'm outside gardening

              Swapping POTW for OBC/When You're In (which blends perfectly into A Pillow of Winds) & swapping Alan's Brekkie for Love Scene 7 from Zabriskie Point, which is basically just 5 minutes of 'Sunny Side Up', 'Rain in the Country' & 'Narrow Way Pt 1' without any of the annoying overlays and fx.

            I imagine a similar setlist a la 1994 tour, minus the AMLOR-Division Bell tracks. Dark Side of the Moon on its enterity, plus most of WYWH, some Wall, Dogs, Sheep, Echoes. If this could happen in a parallel universe I don't see them paying early stuff.
            If an act of empathy is considered somehow as something radical, we're living in dangerous times.

                It's funny you should single out Grantchester Meadows because I've always had a fondness for that song, and I much prefer it to the superficially similar (at least instrumentally) If. In fact, I'd much prefer it if NMSOS did Grantchester Meadows rather than If.

                  That's a fair assessment. Take If off of the original post as well and replace it with GitC for a classic GitC / CWATE performance. I tend to like If better but it's only because it doesn't have the birds on repeat. The birds are fine to start but man, they get to be like nails on a chalkboard to me after a while.

                    Anything without sax or girls going "wouh wouh"...
                    In other words, the great classics from before 1973
                    I saw them in 1977 and it was already too late for me. I enjoyed it, of course, but the setlist frustrated me a bit​

                          It might be a tad overlong, but here's what I'd like to hear. Might be a tad too long for just the 3 boys to play (if we aren't using backing musicians, such as Guy Pratt, or Snowy White). Good mixture of early stuff, middle years, and later years. Chose not to do songs off of The Wall, since while I enjoy the album, I feel like it's not a very good representation of the various styles of music Floyd could do.
                          Careful with That Axe, Eugene....

                          My Favorite Versions of Careful with That Axe
                          1. Live at Pompeii
                          2. Ummagumma
                          3. Belgium, 1969 (Music Power and European Music Revolution)
                          4. Brighton Dome, 1972
                          5. Boblingen, 1972
                          6. New York, Radio City Music Hall, 1973
                          7. BBC Radio Session, 1970
                          8. Carnegie Hall, 1972

                            I've decided to do two sets, the first is if Roger, Dave and Nick play together. I'm looking at it as a more realistic version of what happens, a set that strokes Roger's ego. The second is if Dave and Nick perform a gig as Pink Floyd, which to me has way more scope. This includes a rallying cry for Ukraine and a tribute set to Rick Wright. So here we go:

                            Roger, Dave and Nick:

                            1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
                            2. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
                            3. Dogs
                            4. The Gunner's Dream
                            5. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
                            6. Another Brick In The Wall Part 2
                            7. One Of These Days
                            8. Echoes

                            9. Speak To Me
                            10. Breathe
                            11. On The Run
                            12. Time
                            13. The Great Gig In The Sky
                            14. Money
                            15. Us and Them
                            16. Any Colour You Like
                            17. Brain Damage
                            18. Eclipse

                            Encore:
                            19. Arnold Layne
                            20. Wish You Were Here
                            21. Comfortably Numb

                            Dave and Nick:

                            1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
                            2. Astronomy Domine
                            3. Fat Old Sun
                            4. High Hopes
                            5. On The Turning Away
                            6. Hey Hey Rise Up

                            9. Speak To Me
                            10. Breathe
                            11. Summer '68
                            12. Remember A Day
                            13. Wearing The Inside Out
                            14. The Great Gig In The Sky
                            15. Us and Them
                            16. Louder Than Words
                            17. One Of These Days
                            18. Echoes

                            21. Run Like Hell
                            22. Comfortably Numb
