I don't understand why this isn't coming to the rest of the West Coast, oh well.

[just-in.]

last year's Bamboozle Roadshow > than this year's Bamboozle Roadshow x 1,000,000

this year honestly doesn't even compare to last year. I'm still pissed they had to cancel the STL date of the tour last year, and that there is one this year. Dumb.

[more heart]

I'd only go for Mercy Mercedes

...and maybe NeverShoutNever.

[hiya]

I'll be at the crazy donkey mainly for we the kings and mercy mercedes.

[GreenJellyBean]

i'd go to see the cab and mercy if manchester orchestra and fun weren't playing here on the same day.

[Chiodosbros13]

Definitely going for Nevershoutnever I missed him last time he came

[frenchatticus]

would only go if ftsk's set consists of ten or more songs. i'm tired of their six to eight song sets.

[Bruised26]

I love how all of these bands how no more than 1 album out.... Mercy and NSN only have an ep or 2

[xxkacf]

i'll be at the last date...should be alright.

[hiya]

setlists when available please, although i'm sure they are relatively same as what they've been playing for the past year.

[superkelly]

Yeah. None of these bands really have much "new" stuff.
I'm going to the show tomorrow, but I found the cab's setlist on another site (it's not in the right order apparently):

Can You Keep A Secret
Risky Business
I'll Run
That 70s Song
Bounce
Disturbia

I'd like to see the other setlists too.

[hiya]

found this for We The Kings:
not in order

Stay Young
Whoa
Check Yes
Skyway
Secret Valentine
The Middle
A Milli (like a minute and a half)
Don't Speak Liar
August is Over
This is Our Town
All Again for You

[Megan844]

This isn't in order, and I'm not sure if it's right, but I heard nevershoutnever's playing:

Happy
Trouble
bigcitydreams
yourbiggestfan
dare4distance
Did It Hurt?
I Wanna Hold Your Hand (Beatles cover)

[superkelly]

Okay, it seems like they're playing slightly different sets at every show. Anyway, I went tonight:

Mercy Mercedes:

Get It Darlin
Shiver Me Timbers (I'm 99% sure)
The Perfect Scene
Drop Top (new)
The Perfect Scene
Dr. Huxtable

Nevershoutnever!:

Happy
Your Biggest Fan
Dare4distance
Trouble
Did It Hurt?
I Wanna Hold Your Hand (Beatles cover)
Bigcitydreams

The Cab:

Can You Keep a Secret?
That 70's Song
I'll Run
Risky Business
Disturbia (Rihanna cover)
Bounce

We The Kings:

Stay Young
Whoa
All Again For You
The Middle (Jimmy Eat World cover)
Don't Speak Liar
Secret Valentine
Skyway Avenue
Check Yes Juliet

Forever the Sickest Kids - The middle songs are probably out of order, I really lost track, but hopefully I get all of them. They might have played more/different songs than normal because 1) it's their hometown show and 2) there was this girl named Brittany who recovered/is recovering from cancer and they sang a couple of songs for her.

Hey Brittany
Whoa Oh
Mix of a bunch of songs (I think some of them were Becky Starz, IDKAYBICTD, Indiana, Hurricane Haley... there was a few more)
Uh Huh
Breakdown
The Way She Moves
Hey Brittany with new lyrics (for Brittany)
Coffee Break (dedicated to Brittany)
My Worst Nightmare
Believe Me, I'm Lying
Catastrophe
She's a Lady

Sorry I didn't pay close enough attention. I was having too much fun. Haha. But yeah, it was a great show.

[mariahtothemoon]

does anyone have merch pictures? (:

[hiya]

hmm i guess ftsk headlined that night since it was a hometown show. Mercy's set looks good, I was kind of hoping they'd do a midtown cover though.

[Megan844]

Yeah I would like to see merch pictures too :D

[Megan844]

Does anyone know about how long this concert is?? Like if my show starts at 7:00 about what time should it be over at?

[UnderMyDreams]

Does anyone know about how long this concert is?? Like if my show starts at 7:00 about what time should it be over at?

Based on the lengths of the set lists, I would assume that it would be over by about 10:30.

[chcougar1]

How does the Cab not play Take My Hand ever? ridiculous.

[frenchatticus]

Can anyone post an FTSK set from another night? If it looks something like that other one, I'll definitely be going on the 16th.

[hiya]

wow according to j.cook's twitter, the tour completley sold out, that's kind of awesome.

Was FTSK's set longer than WTK's set? It doesn't make sence if they did. WTK is the headliner...

[andrewa5]

The FTSK set is pretty sweet if your a fan!

[Bruised26]

so FTSK is closing the show?

[RockVocalPower]

No, We the Kings is headlining, except for the shows in Texas and a few other markets. I want to say Chicago and Philly and one more. Forever the Sickest Kids is headlining those.

[Anderson177]

1st post! Um... I was at the St. Louis show. I might have the order mixed up, but I believe this is what they played. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

Hey Brittany
Whoa Oh
Becky Starz
Uh Huh
The Way She Moves
My Worst Nightmare
Believe Me, I'm Lying

[RockVocalPower]

Mercy is playing:

Get It Darlin'
Shiver Me Timbers
Drop Top
The Perfect Scene
Dr. Huxtable

Sweet.

[PleasureRyland]

Has anyone met any of the guys from the bands after the show?

[Miss Heartcore]

Pretty bummed that this is sold out at the TLA. I probably shouldn't have waited so long to get tix. :-(

[iseeumonkey]

Last night was fun. I ended up getting barricade right in front of Travis right before WTK came out.

Anyways, WTK played "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire" theme song. Hunter also sang some other rap song I didn't know.

[onefiftysevenpm]

My best friend was at the Indiana show tonight.
She got a few pictures of merch if anyone's interested:

they also had a black w/ leopard print hoodie with THE CAB written across the back and has it vertical on the front.

[Anderson177]

In St. Louis b4 the show, FTSK was having a photo shot like half a block away from The Pageant. It was really cool watching them takes pics. I believe the pics are up on buzznet. I got to talk to Kyle for a little bit. Then a group of fans got behind the band and we took a big group photo. It was sweet, but I cant find the shot.

Travis did a little accostic of Check Yes Juliet after the show too.

I'm just trying to get through the week.

I'm just trying to get through the week.

Word.

[asmandamz37]

Has anyone met any of the guys from the bands after the show?

I talked to FTSK, all of them came out and signed autographs/took pictures for about an hour and a half. Mercy Mercedes were also out there.
We the Kings does a private signing through their fan club I guess.
The Cab might have been by their van, but I didn't see them.
And of course nevershoutnever wasn't around.

[hiya]

well after all these events, thursday might be more interesting now. still so excited to see them.

[becky711]

well after all these events, thursday might be more interesting now. still so excited to see them.
I get to see them this evening... should be REALLLLLLY interesting. First show since all of the crap that happened...

[BobaAreI]

People are talking about how none of the bands only have no more than one album out.
How else are they supposed to promote themselves and get more studio time?
They aren't gonna get too far on hopes and dreams.
Touring is exactly what these bands should be doing.

[hiya]

I get to see them this evening... should be REALLLLLLY interesting. First show since all of the crap that happened...

yea, wonder if they'll say anything, and tell me if any of the set lists are different =)

[becky711]

yea, wonder if they'll say anything, and tell me if any of the set lists are different =) I will post an update in the morning!

[becky711]

I've tried to post this 3 times now, and I keep getting an error message. Hopefully it works this time.

Show was good... but short. We The Kings only played for 35 minutes.
Same setlist as previously posted (at least for the 3 I knew; Mercy, Cab, and Kings) except Kings didn't play Don't Speak Liar.

Overall the show was good. Started at 6:30, ended at 10:15.

Mercy was fun as always.
Never been a fan of NeverShoutNever... but I honestly think it's time for the boy/group to do their own headlining shows (I've seen him/them 4 other times from them opening for other tours). their fans are just too obnoxious. If I heard "I love you Christopher" yelled one more time, I was going to start punching people.
The Cab was fun, but I felt like they were on the stage for less time then even Mercy.
I've never seen Forever The Sickest Kids, but I highly enjoyed them. They were Fun!
We The Kings, were as they always are. Super fun. Running all over the stage.

I had meet and greet before the show, and you could definitely tell a difference in their moods. They just seemed... sad. I don't know. They just weren't acting the same to me. Could be that they were completely exhausted from all that went down.
