I need to do top 20s for my favorit artists, especially those with lengthy discographies. Half of Beggars would be in my top 20 at this point in my life
Thrice set lists are always interesting to me. They have so many different types of songs to pick from I'd love to be a fly on the wall and see how they construct their sets.
I'm not sure the process but unlike so many of my other favorite bands, they have always added in a surprise gem or 2 as well as mixing up songs from most albums every tour since I started seeing them regularly during Vheissu. Actually, I think Vheissu is the only album of theirs to have the same songs played from it live. I feel every other album normally gets a change up every tour.
Image of the Invisible, Earth Will Shake, Hold Fast Hope, Of Dust and Nations, Red Sky and once in a while For Miles seem to get rotated every tour or so. Would love if they played Music Box or Stand and Feel Your Worth. Vheissu is such a great album and translates so well live.
I believe Between the Earth is the only track off that album never to be played, but yeah I'd love to see Stand, Musicbox and Moths to see some love more often. Not that I don't want Nations and Earth Will Shake not to be played anymore, I'm glad that if the band has a few staples, those are it.
Top 5 overall: Song for Milly Michaelson Of Dust and Nations Silhouette The Earth Will Shake In Exile and Beggars and Circles
My top ten thrice songs in chronological order: Under A Killing Moon Paper Tigers Atlantic For Miles Of Dust And Nations Firebreather Backdraft Digital Sea The Window Whistleblower Honorable Mentions: Stand And Feel Your Worth The Weight Of Glory At The Last
Here's my top 5. I'm guessing the placement of Broken Lungs will be controversial, I know a lot of people in here don't like it. Beggars Broken Lungs Daedalus Death From Above Night Diving
Nice to see some love for night diving, that song is great. The layers in that track are something else. So many subtle sounds and atmosphere throughout. Wish they would approach other songs like night diving.
My top 10 (5 is ridiculous come on now) Trust The Abolition of Man Of Dust and Nations Stand and Feel Your Worth The Messenger The Whaler Daedalus The Weight Hurricane Beyond the Pines
