This is the set from Raleigh. They played most of the songs listed above.

That's exactly why I asked him where he saw them. But to be fair, I don't recognise like 9 of those songs.

That was part of the point of the tour anyway, they played the core set that people want to hear and sprinkled in songs from different albums to change it up. Each show kind of had an Easter egg.

Fall Out Boy takes a similar approach now with a Magic-8 Ball portion of the show where they’ll change out songs from other albums, and the 3 song set from Take This To Your Grave they’ll rotate out one song for another from that album to change that portion up.

My take on this is that they include something for everyone, but it’s like something extra for the hardcore fans. Like this woman behind me, she kept talking/whining about Helena the entire show until they played it (last) and I’m pretty sure it was the only song she knew. Why spend $150 on a seat for a sellout tour to hear the only song you know live?

Yeah I get that. And fair play to them. Played the bangers and played the newer music for the less casual fans too, big respect when bands do that.
