Fruvous Return Setlist

Here's the deal. Fruvous ends the hiatus and you win the Make the setlist contest You mission should you choose to accept it is to make up a 20 song setlist for Fruvous' return from hiatus show. You can choose any song they've recorded or performed plus one cover song they've never done if you like. Extra points for being considerate to Dave and putting the accordion songs and banjo songs together.

wow. that's challenging. but here's my attempt at it:

• down from above
• horseshoes
• laika
• stuck in the 90s
• independence day
• fly
• bed and breakfast
• on her doorstep
• earthquakes
• organ grinder
• johnny saucep'n
• ballad of marion fruvous
• nuits de reve
• love set fire (murray & dave)
• homeward bound (mike & jian)
• river valley
• fell in love


• i will hold on
• if only you knew


• gulf war song

No Follow the Road?

no room! besides, my "runners up" are My Poor Generation, The Drinking Song, Splatter Splatter, Get in the Car, Sahara, Lee, Kick in the Ass, Your New Boyfriend, and BJ Don't Cry. so Follow the Road would come somewhere in the second or third set. :)

I'll have to ponder this some more....

I like what Lawrence picked, but it seems like it would be QUITE a mellow concert.  I'd almost throw a "runner up" or two in there just to wake up the list!

:D

~J~

what's up with the cheesy depressing bit at the end? fell in love, I will hold on & THEN if only you knew. great. let's make 'em all teary eyed for the real kicker - gulf war song. this has kleenex written all over it!

Set 1: Sahara (120 minute extended jam)

Encore: Sahara Reprise

Oh, and I suppose you want them to come in on a flying hotdog too!

they don't need to do that, as long as they get tom hanks to sing the bridge section.

or Murray's brother.

Mmmm. Good idea.

Nice. I really like the one they did with a combination of Sahara and No No Raja.

EW.

YEAH!

I'd like Fruvous for the return from the hiatus to rock out more, a la the Dave & The Chia Pets show.  Here is what I'd like:

• Gotta Get A Message To You
• Michigan Militia
• Jockey Full Of Bourbon
• Half As Much
• Laika
• Heatseeker Boy
• Present Tense Tureen
• Johnny Saucepan
• Tears Of A Clown (English Beat version)
• Earthquakes
• Minnie The Moocher
• My Poor Generation
• Nuits De Reve
• River Valley
• Authors
• Get In The Car
• Your New Boyfriend
• Love Potion No. 9 Medley
• Drinking Song
• Gulf War Song (off-mic)

now this, I like!

way to go!

I love how you say "No no Raja" is one of your favorite songs, yes.. it doesn't make it to your list. Do you think they aren't going to play what people want to hear if they get back together??

I said Darlington Darling is one of my favorites, not No No Raja.

DD is on my list.

No No almost made the cut. It might if I did it again.

Oops! Read it wrong. Sorry.

but darlington darling isn't -on- thornhill..gordon's favorite album...

 

:P

...and Britney Spears is my favorite singer

ahhh.. a man who things of fruvous as a "goofy" band. ;)

No one who thinks of them as not insipid.

I'd might have included Splatter Splatter but why ruin a perfect record.

Who DOES think of them as insipid?

yeah, good songs Gordon, but a fluffy concert that list would make.

~J~

Okay, because there are two many songs to choose from I make only one requirement:

It HAS TO HAS TO HAS TO have "Lazlo's Career" in it. That's one of my top five and I have yet to hear it live. I know, I'm weird. :o)

Swing it,
Rachel Marie :o)

You missed it, we played that during one of the Frucon 6 jams. :)

I actually have it recorded, but it wasn't good enough to make the Frucon 6 Sessions CDs.  Although if it had been performed better ( Mainly by me), it would have been awesome.  It certainly had potential.

Well I've never heard them do "GOtta Get a Message to You", "Bed and Breakfast", "On Her Doorstep" , or "Fell In Love" live so any of those would be definitely on my list. And "Down From Above" "Bittersweet" "Misplaced" "Homeward Bound" "Follow the Road" "Poor Napoleon" "Love Set Fire" "Horseshoes" and ending with "Early Morning Rain"

And as for other, new covers, I'd always thought there was a lot of crossover potential between MF and Squeeze, but since MF did a bit of "Tempted" at Frucon, that's done.

*sigh* I'd never heard GTGAMTY live so they sang it for me at the house party. I never heard it again.

okie, here's mine:

Michigan Militia
Jockey Full Of Bourbon
