Mudcrutch Dream Set #2

Here's another set I'd like to see Mudcrutch play on the same proverbial tour. Obviously they would play different sets every night. But I'm really attracted to the idea of tour setlists that use the same format, just with different songs & ideas.

Like here I gave the sets the same feel and the albums similar amounts of play. Whether it's a different song from the same album in the same spot or another song that's from the same era or one with the same level of popularity, there's a lot of connections. For starters set 1 is predominantly the classics set and set 2 is the youthful jam. Had to throw a curve ball there at the end, for laughs if nothing else.

A completely unhithered set is a nice concept but I feel a tour has more 'meaning' if there is some sort of connecting thread.

Mudcrutch Dream Setlist

Not long ago I mentioned my idea of Tom Petty reconstituting Mudcrutch as a touring band with the ability to give the Tom Petty setlists we all deserve. I love Tom Petty very dearly, he's one of the greatest artists ever to live. And yet if he keeps playing the same old setlist next time he tours, I highly doubt I'll bother to go. He's got such a great collection, it's about time he shows it off.

Some would say Mudcrutch has to play Mudcrutch material. But The Heartbreakers don't just play Heartbreakers material. So why should Mudcrutch be any different?

Mudcrutch is imbued with the 'uncanny' ability to not play Free Fallin' every night. Here's my idea of a great Mudcrutch set.

Set 1

1. Anything That's Rock N Roll
2. King's Highway
3. A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)
4. Fooled Again
5. Alright For Now
6. Yer So Bad
7. Even The Losers
8. Money Becomes King
9. Walls (No. 3)
10. It's Good To Be King (jam)

Set 2

1. The Wrong Thing to Do
2. Lost Children
3. Orphan of the Storm
4. I Should Have Known It
5. Bootleg Flyer
6. Something Good Coming
7. Jammin' Me
8. Into the Great Wide Open
9. Luna
10. Good Enough (jam)

Encores

1. Free Girl Now
2. Mary Jane's Last Dance

3. The Trip to Pirate's Cove

4. Supernatural Radio
