  1. Updated opening post with latest rehearsals.
  2. Thanks.

    I like this return of Iris, one of my fav SOI songs
  3. Blimey 7 runs of Iris yesterday !
  4. I remain optimistic, but here's an honest concern of mine.

    Does the last few days' rehearsals mean they are:
    1) replacing the Achtung sequence (Horses-Acrobat-Until + Hold Me) with the "Innocence" segue from 2015 (Iris>Until)?
    2) rotating these sequences between shows 1 & 2?
    3) Including both (=new spot in set for Acrobat and such)?

    I hope it's the latter option. Otherwise, it's a travesty IMO.

    We don't even know if there was an Achtung sequence in the first place They just rehearsed these songs a couple of times, nothing more.
  6. Indeed. That doesn't sound at all like the kind of rehearsal you do for fun or just to remember how to properly play the song. 7 consecutive runs of the same song are done for getting used to the stage and choreograph movements, lightning and screen grahics. And I think they'd only do that with a song they are 100% certain to include in the set.

    You’d have to think that was a thought out Setlist they ran through though when they played that sequence. There was structure to the songs it wasn’t just thrown together. I suspect if the songs remain they’ll be positioned differently on the next full run through.

    it's all a rough draft at this point. a vision that needs to be executed to see if it works for the final thesis.
  9. Yeah I definitely agree, there’s still the trial and error aspect at this stage, i just mean that bunch of songs was at least intended to be a Setlist I think it wasn’t just 24 or 25 songs played in a random order. I’d be surprised if the exact order stayed the same come opening night but I suspect the vast majority of the songs will remain the same.

    exactly...
  11. I wish they would consider The Little Things album version.
  12. They are trying things and we can be sure that it will be a Great live concert ( even with SBS , BD , COBL & Elevation) !

    So you really think that Streets is gonna have a break ? Or we'll see it in next rehearsals ?
