A Matthew Good Album Tour

[ccf23]

When you are unemployed, and have $30,00 in Medical Debt does it seem cheap now?

 

I rather get out of debt.

 

Again, you're thinking small picture. You're thinking the next few years and paying off that $30,000 in debt...Which, sure, is a legitimate concern...However, come the end of your life, hell, even 5 or 10 years down the road if and when Matt isn't making music anymore you'll be sitting there drinking a glass of scotch from a bottle that cost you upwards of $60 and think to yourself "what the fuck, I could've seen every song I ever wanted by him and I passed it up over a lousy $100 I've spent over and over on trivial shit since then"...

 

If it was just another Matt show, I'd understand, but to me if you love an artist that much and a once in a lifetime chance came up you'd remember for the rest of your life and you said no because it was a hundred bucks...That's silly to me.

 

...and don't get pissy, I'm not trying to minimalize your debt. Think big picture.

[here is no why]

whatever.

 

it's pointless to argue over the internet. especially of ones funds, i didn't call you cheap. not once.

 

but you act this way in every thread, i think you act a bit childish. i mean look at the "what are you listening to" thread.

 

"i would say what i'm listening to but then i'd get chewed out for it"

 

give me a break. grow up. who cares what people say, again, it's the internet. don't get so worked up over it. you wouldn't pay the money? so be it.

 

doesn't bother me either way.

He was talking to me...I said:

 

That seems awfully cheap in that line of thinking.

 

It's all in context though. I'm broke as fuck right now. $100 would be hard to come by, but if I had the chance to see a Matt Good show with every song I'd ever wanted to hear live, I'm saying big picture me would see I'd go through that $100 on pointless, stupid shit an incredible amount of times over the course of my life and it'd be more than fucking worth it to find a way to scrounge up the $100 for the right now and have that memory for the rest of my days.

[Guest jjazz]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but Go Fly Blind would be awesome as an acoustic closer. That tune would be a very applicable and somewhat ironic retrospective look on his career now, and would be a great sendoff at a show.

[umdesch4]

Well, the Police got back together and tickets were, what? $250, right? In fact, there's a helluva lot of shows out there that are over $100. How much does a bloody hockey game cost these days? Look at people falling over each other to pay hundreds of dollars for Olympic event tickets.

 

Personally, I'd skip going out to the movies 3 or 4 times (with popcorn), and that'd pretty much cover the difference between what a MG ticket on this tour goes for, and the $100 we're talking about for this dream setlist.

[RileyLewis]

When I made this thread, I didn't really mean that a ticket would be $100. I was just making up an absurd figure to see if people thought it would be worth it. I think if Matt did something like this, he would probably charge the usual amount ($30-$60) and just advertise this is his more less-known (publicly) work.

[alex_madf3rit]

Maybe not rare tracks, but I'd definitely pay 100 bucks to see him play my dream setlist

Oh lol..it's a rhetorical question then, everyone on here would be at any show they could even kinda make time for. Not that hearing most of the songs he is touring with now is bad or boring. But if you could hand pick a set list, or even know that a bunch of random old songs were gonna be played? no one that took the time to come to this board would pass that up.

I am getting to old for concerts anyway.

Completely agree, it would still hold up and sound amazing. Great call

How do you get 'too old' for live music? I find I feel 'older' or 'out of touch' somewhat when I haven't been to a show for awhile. When I was 17-20, I went to concerts all the time. Then I went to school, and had to cut back a LOT because basically there was little time outside of assignments, plus yeah it costs money. The last year though, I've taken to fully embracing the Toronto music scene and I've never been happier. Then again, when you live near a major centre for live music, you have the opportunity to see fucking great musicians for relatively cheap, $5-15/show. BYOB en route ;)

[RileyLewis]

Since everyone else did:

 

Pledge of Allegiance

Great Whales of the Sea

Double Life

*banter*

We're So Heavy

Near Fantastica

Fearless

Born to Kill

*banter, maybe a polka or howdown!*

Running for Home

Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production

Change of Season

 

Giant

Strange Days (acoustic)

Fated (acoustic)

Champions of Nothing

 

I think that list is a little more realistic in length than some others!

I'm loving these setlists, I would pick any one of them, include Advertising on Police Cars, and be in pure bliss for a show like that.

[Audio of Being]

But I am 33 and limited in things I can do such as standing for long periods because of my knee. The bands I have always wanted to see I have seen, and I am just waiting for Muse, and the Pearl Jam tour next year, and the moe. tour. After that I think I will be done for a while.

[Devil On Rollerskates]

Add Running For Home and some pre-MGB tunes (Ghetto Astronauts, The Ocean, As Long As You're Mine, A Better Pain, etc.) to my setlist. The one that already has 22 tunes...not including anything from WLRRR onward...which if I did, would have We're So Heavy, Blues Skies, Champions, 99%, Empty's...at least. Maybe I'm being a little unrealistic, but it is just a fantasy setlist.

 

Oh, and HOSAM.

[RileyLewis]

This is why I need to see Near Fantastica at least once in my life, live:

 

 

My god.

[here is no why]

^^^^^^^

incredible.

 

the avalanche tour was probably the best he ever did.

 

saw it in Hamilton, the first time he ever played House of Smoke & Mirrors live.

Edited November 19, 2009 by here is no why

[c0micb0y]

WLRRR Tour was just as good as the Avalanche tour, lots of Avalanche material played, plus Christian was still on geetar ;)

2003-2006 were the most technically sound tour performances - he had the best band of his career together during much of that time, if you ask me.

[here is no why]

i agree, i loved Christian on geetar. his sound was awesome.

[c0micb0y]

If you never did, do check out the band Copyright, in which CTV played guitar beside Tom Anselmi's brilliant lyrics and powerful vocal delivery. I dunno if you can find them on the nets for download tho.

I was so pissed in 2007 when I bought tickets to the Vancouver Virgin Festival to see Muse and then they backed out.... I returned my ticket and exchanged it for a day 2 ticket.

[Audio of Being]

Near Fantastica was on the In Coma Tour. It is good live. Sure.

Wow, that sounds excellent. Not just the performance but the sound quality is surprisingly good. Nice to see the energy Matt has here and that's some great jamming. Too bad we didn't have this whole concert in this quality available.

[Crusader]

wait, i have seen him play it live. awesome.
