Harder than it sounds, since if I'm being perfectly honest a 'great' AB setlist for me might be defined by what they don't play as opposed to what they do. Alter Bridge is my favourite band, but I seriously think their set selection is criminally lazy, and having seem them live multiple times their sets can feel a bit stale and predictable at times.

I simply do not comprehend why they are still playing things like Before Tomorrow Comes, which is a bottom tier song from BB. Ties that Bind, whilst an excellent song is also poor live, Myles doesn't bother going anywhere near the chorus melody and resorts to his usual cliches of speaking the words and randomly shouting 'That's right' or 'Let me hear you' inbetween lyrics.

So really I would be very happy with any AB setlist that actually surprises me. I remember being overjoyed when they randomly cracked out A New Way to Live a few tours ago as I had no idea it was coming. But who am I kidding, I know full well when I see them in December I will be getting the same overplayed songs with Show Me a Leader and My Champion inserted somewhere :P

So here is my full fantasy lala land setlist. Utterly impossible due to length and intensity but oh well. Not necessarily picking my favourite songs, just ones which I think would be quite refreshing live, plus a few staples.

1. Slip to the Void
2. One Day Remains
3. Lover
4. Crows on a Wire
5. This Side of Fate
6. Broken Wings
7. Island of Fools
8. Calm the Fire
9. Still Remains
10. From the Cradle to the Grave
11. White Knuckles
12. Fortress
13. The Last Hero
14. Words Darkers Than Their Wings
15. Cry of Achilles
16. Shed my Skin
-
17. Blackbird
18. The End is Here

I tried to fit The Other Side somewhere, but concluded this song might just be a bit too dark for a live show :lol .

Blackbird ist the song I want to see at every AB concert. I relate this song to my beloved grandfather (my hero), who died almost 3 years ago. Everytime AB plays this song, I close my eyes and see him in front of me, smiling, and I just enjoy this moment.

Of course I respect your opinion, but I would miss my personal anchor in an AB concert.

PS: Last time they were in Switzerland, they played Calm The Fire - I was absolutely blown away by this live performance.

Just going to post a good (somewhat realistic) set list. Something they could pull of with just a little rehearsal time. As much as we all want WDTTW or Shed My Skin, face it, it ain't happening...

1. Isolation (thumping drumbeat at end fades into...)
2. The Writing's on the Wall
3. Come To Life
4. My Champion
5. Broken Wings
6. Show Me A Leader
7. Crows on A Wire (fades into...)
8. Ghost of Days Gone By
9. WL/WOY/Lover (acoustic medley...band comes back in, in full near end of Lover)
10. Metalingus
11. The Last Hero
12. The Other Side
13. AtP
14. Blackbird
15. Poison In Your Veins
16. Find The Real (would be a great main set closer)

Encore...

17. Cry of Achilles
18. Open Your Eyes
Altered:
9/17/11, 5/02/14, 10/16/14, 10/08/16, 1/28/17, 5/13/17, 12/08/17, 10/14/19, 8/17/23

This is a current dream setlist. They need to promote the fuck out of this album so the more songs they play from it, the better.

Also, play some songs never before played live.

3 One Day Remains songs, 5 Blackbird, 4 AB III, 4 Fortress, 2 Last Hero. Almost perfectly in line with how I'd rank the albums. Swap out The Last Hero for Fortress or Words Darker Than Their Wings (it is a dream, after all) every few nights, swap out Burn it Down for Watch Over You or Wonderful Life.

No idea why they've stopped opening with Slip to the Void. It was perfect!
