I have been to six KOL shows and I loved each one of them. They have this stage presence that is very odd but in a good way. They do not have flames shooting out from the stage, or cage dancers, they do not have to have snakes around their necks to get your attention. They simple pick up their instruments, play four or five songs without announcing who they are or where they are from or saying "We love (such and such city)." They just do what they came there to do, to own the place for one night. The only problem I have found so far in my KOL Concert goings is that their sets are the same. Yeah, maybe they put Black Thumbnail as the opener this time instead of Charmer last night. But if you look at the setlist, its the exact same songs but in a different order. They have around 42 songs (from studio albums, hidden tracks, and B-Sides) but yet they insist on playing the exact 18-20 songs a night. I do not understand why they do this. They can bust out Joe's Head or Happy Alone, heck maybe even The Runner every once in a while. I'm just saying.

I would love to hear Red Morning Light , Wasted time or Holy Roller Novocaine Live. Wow, I would be in heaven if they played those. |

they should go flaming lips on us and have silly girls in costumes on the sides of the stage dancing, since they're all close together and such...that's a lot of open stage that they could be utilizing  |

oh man if they play red morning light in december it would just make my year
i hope the guys read these posts...
joe's head and happy alone would also be awesome
actually it would be kinda cool if they did a YAYM only gig... and then an Aha-Shake one...
(not that i don't love the new stuff its just we can hear that any time)
anyone else agree?

yeah i wonder why they dont play many songs from YAYM i guess because each album has been more popular than the last so they think ppl like the newer stuff more. however, this doesnt really make sense as you'd expect to get more popular with time. hopefully they will find a better balance. |

I would love for them to bring back Head to Toe....that song jammed in concert, almost as hard as four kicks. Also, wouldn't it be great if they ended slow night the way it is on the album. Rise and Shine etc... just caleb by himself on guitar. I have seen 8 shows and I pray they do that everytime. I second Joe's Head and Wasted Time
