The Ultimate Setlist: Dawes

What is The Ultimate Setlist? Here's the introduction.

Coming up with your own personal perfect setlist requires an intimate knowledge of the artists body of work, and of their habits on stage. I wanted to make one for Elton John, but I don't think I'm there yet. I could definitely come up with 20-30 songs by him that I know and love, but so much of it is just going to be the 20-30 songs by Elton John that everybody loves. I need to become more acquainted with more of his music to find the oddities and oft-overlooked songs that stand out in my own head in order to write down a unique setlist. Sure, I know his greatest hits, and every song on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Honky Chateau, Madman Across the Water, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, and Empty Sky, but there's just so many others that I don't. That's only around 90 of the pushing 400 songs in the Elton John catalog.

The Ultimate Setlist: Introduction + Avett Brothers

One of my favorite things to do in the world is to go to a concert. I can't imagine what it's like for my friends who don't listen to the same music as most of their friends. I listen to a metric ton of music that no one (my age) I know likes, and I love going to concerts.
