A few songs I would be totally happy with them swapping out with their huge hits:

Go, Waggy, Emo, New Hope, Going Away To College, Dysentery Gary, Wendy Clear, Mutt, Story Of A Lonely Guy, Roller Coaster, Shut Up, and Hold On.

But I will echo every's thoughts on Toms hat. It's awesome. I was kind of expecting his old strat and Hurley shirt too..

Tom looks and sounds like he did years ago here. The wonders a hat can do ahah. Really stoked to see them in Nottingham in July!
THIS! I have to agree with everything I'm seeing on this post...from the comments of Tom wearing the hat to the fact that these guys must be bored with the setlist.

My two cents: The same setlist over and over is doing WONDERS for the guys we grew up with. I really am starting to feel that they're reconnecting in the best ways possible. Per the Foo Fighters getting drunk and doing drugs in boredom, these guys are definitely passed their "prime" in our eyes because we grew up with them in their "teen angst" days. However, I think they still have much more potential to continue as BLINK-182! Being bored, I feel the guys will get back to their old antics to keep each other busy and might step outside of "maturity" again. Aside from Mark and his family being in London, they'll all be away from their families and only really have each other to veer from boredom. I'd love to see them hash out a few ideas in the UK for new songs TOGETHER, as opposed to emailing each other ideas/songs. The chemistry is definitely getting better on stage (this video is evidence). Neighborhoods was very lukewarm to most in general (I loved it, but I'm biased), but Blink definitely isn't done. It's not easy getting back with a best friend after really big ordeals, let alone the fact that the held grudges for a few YEARS. I personally can't wait to see what the future has in store for my favorite band growing up, even until now...

Agree. As a die hard blink fan I would much rather hear a bunch of rare stuff off dude ranch like "boring" or "lemmings" or throw "touch down boy " in. All the small things whats my age again, rock show, first date, STFTK, I could care less about hearing live again.
Seriously. Nobody in their 20+ aged fan group will go to the shows seeing those setlists. I know that I personally feel like i've already seen that show multiple times. They should - for marketing sake - throw some oddities and rarities in there.

But, Touchdown Boy... that's one of your go-tos? haha. That to me is the equivalent to Degenerate. It's amusing every so often... but I've never made a conscientious decision to listen to it.

I would love to get Tom's opinion on I'm Lost Without You
It seems like a song he would love to try live, but from what I'm aware of he has never played it, even with ava when he used to do small little 1 min blink covers.
I get it would be difficult somewhat to do, but imo its the best slow song (just infront of a littles enough / start the machine) he's ever written

Also whats with the love for a baseball cap ??, he's like late 30's, I think it looks strange

Honestly, its not my go to song, its just so rare, and the odds of hearing it live makes it that much more special. What I should have said is, if they threw any of the random songs off the old albums in like "Anthem" or "Waggy" or "Im Sorry" etc in the setlist I would be so fucking stoked. Shit I'd love to hear "Ben Wah Balls" live.

I can't even imagine how tired they are of playing the exact same setlist year-after-year.

I guess I understand why they do it (and partially how they 'have to')...but they have just got to be soooo sick of ATST, WMAA, Dammit, First Date and all of those songs at this point...

I been saying this for years....I would like performances more if a band were to say 'what do I want to play tonight?' as oppose to what they have to play.,.i hate lack luster performances... They won't remember each show cuz its just a product they put out to the world....how boring
