Where did the BLAM go?

[jsh145]

anyone else notice that the new four-piece has pretty much neglected to play anything from BLAM or BLAMen?

I wonder what that's about.

That's a really good observation. My only comment would be that I'm betting they've been working on stuff for the tour that we have not yet heard them do as a four piece.

I believe they played "Sound of Your Voice" (Kev on lead) and "Wind It Up" at the Universal Studios concert from last year. Going off of garyrulez's comment, they might still be learning how to play some of that material as a four piece. I'd expect them to play some non-Steve songs soon enough ("Serendipity", "Peterborough and The Kawarthas", "Vanishing", "Adrift").

To echo again, a lot of the BLAM stuff featured Steve on guitar (more than most albums), so that may impact having to re-shuffle the songs to sound good.

But that said, I'm prepared to argue that they haven't neglected BLAM really, and that what you're seeing is simply the trend at the moment to play AIGT songs + old hits/singles and BLAM wasn't a source of their biggest hits/singles/favs.

I haven't seen very much love for MYSD (since it contains the singles/favs AltGirl, Jane and A, and I guess These Apples hasn't gotten around to being played). I haven't seen them do anything from BOAPS other than OldApt and When I Fall, and Maroon hasn't been played other than the three singles... As mentioned, Wind It Up and Sound of Your Voice have been played, but really only in longer shows where the not-biggest hit singles have been played.

They also played These Apples at the Universal show.
