Since most people seem to have posted longer sets, I tried to do timed ones. And I thought an acoustic set (maybe in a music school's small auditorium or something) would be cool should you get around to doing that someday. The sets are pretty tight on time, so there is to be absolutely NO talking in between songs. No bathroom breaks, no beer runs, no broken strings/sticks/reeds, no funny jigs, no nothing. Got it?
I put portions of some tracks, simply for sake of time. I know some fans hate when bands do this, but I like it.
I liked the idea of going into Bizarre Flowers after like a 2-second pause after the end of Gleam.. because after the hurried rush at the end of Gleam, the beginning of Bizarre is like a relaxing breath of fresh air- like you run up a thousand stairs in a tiny claustrophobic stairwell, get to the top, open the door, and there's a bright blue sky and a wide open field of grass. And lots of free beer. I think there's a little from each record in each set, and hopefully the song orders make sense to more people than just me.
