Alter Bridge at Rome ● 11/11/2013

[AB23]

BTW johnny damon was in attendance tonight! I dont know if that influenced the setlist or not

[Lotha]

Still needs less Blackbird, more ABIII and more Fortress, but this is awesome

[Timotheus]

That setlist is too good to be true (for AB standards).. It's hasn't been confirmed yet, right?

6 Fortress tracks! Record of this tour.

They've done 6 songs one time before I believe..

[AB4Lyfe]

I don't know if it has or hasn't, but if it has, then DAYUM!

[Timotheus]

I'm mostly surprised by the amount of Fortress songs in the second half of the show.

[Dolo]

They've done 6 songs one time before I believe..

No, they haven't.

[anguyen92]

Wow, surprising move, taking Slip out and put Calm the Fire as the encore opener, I am very for it. Still a little too Blackbird heavy, but it's still a work in progress.

[AB4Lyfe]

I'm mostly surprised by the amount of Fortress songs in the second half of the show.

My thoughts exactly, but hey, if this crowd was into it then it could be a continued thing.

[AB23]

Its crazy to me how cry a river would be the next single... They're playing all these fortress songs and seem to have a steady rotation, yet they've already removed it from the set lists.

[AB4Lyfe]

My thoughts exactly, Monty.

[Timotheus]

No, they haven't.

My bad!

Its crazy to me how cry a river would be the next single... They're playing all these fortress songs and seem to have a steady rotation, yet they've already removed it from the set lists.

This surprises me as well. Not because I think it's a bad song, but because I'd love them to play it.

[AB23]

The only two songs that they've played every time are AtP and Achilles which would lead one to believe that the band is probably pushing for Achilles. I don't want the guys to be forced to put Cry uh rivuh in the set just because its been made a single and they have to promote it though. I mean, if they've taken it from the set it would indicate that perhaps they either enjoy playing other songs more or they like the other songs more.

[AB4Lyfe]

If they were to replace a song with Cry a River, what do you think it would be?

[Timotheus]

Before Tomorrow Comes.

[AB4Lyfe]

I hope so. Either BTC or Come to Life. While I love the latter, it is played in every single set.

[Timotheus]

Yea, there's too much Blackbird in the beginning of the show anyway. Both CTL and BTC would be good choices.. They could even rotate the two..

[AB23]

I've always thought they should cycle Uninvited, Peace is Broken, FttS, and CaR. Keep AtP, Achilles, Calm the Fire, Bleed, Fortress and Water's Rising as staples and have a cycle of either All Ends Well or. Lover That's 8 songs. Its a hell of a lot, but thats how I always envisioned it.

I enjoy seeing come to life and all those songs played at a normal tempo, but I've already seen it live a couple times, so I don't care to see it go. BtC, Come to life, Schlip, and a couple others can go

[AB4Lyfe]

It's going to be weird not having Shlip in the setlist, but if they have Calm the Fire to open the encore, then I'm all for it.

[JSlade]

BtC needs to gtfo already. Also, they need to fucking play Fortress already. That's the only reason I even check the Concert Review section.

[AB23]

I do find it strange that it has been reported multiple times to have been played at soundchecks yet they don't think they've perfected it yet.
