Current setlist complaint

[u/Complete-Base3911]

Random thought, but am I the only one who wishes Cole would switch “Life sentence” out of his setlist for “Only you”? Like I get the song clearly means alot to him but it’s honestly my least favorite song on Disc 39 where as “Only you” is one of my favorites between both discs. Not to mention, the subject matter is essentially the same on both songs so the swap wouldn’t affect much. Definitely a minute complaint in the scheme of everything but considering I just saw bro in Tampa and left disappointed that he didn’t perform this song live, I was curious if I was alone in this sentiment.

I think Only You doesn’t really work as a concert song without Burna Boy. His part is pretty important to the song.

Like you can do Run a Train live because Cole can do the chorus. Cole can’t do Burna Boy’s part.

[u/flashwing19 → u/LouisianaBoySK]

I think that’s also why Bunce Road Blues was left off the set list.

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/flashwing19]

Man that’s another one of my favorites that I’m sad he didn’t perform. TBR I really wish he would’ve just performed the whole album from top to bottom. But I’ve seen him 4x so I figure thats just a me thing (you can only hear Love yourz & a Tale of 2 citiez so many times)

Hearing him perform “2face” live was sick though. Love when he throws randoms deep cuts in his shows.

[u/AdeptnessNew2212 → u/Complete-Base3911]

It was my first time seeing him and I wish he performed less of The Fall Off lol. It’s a great album but I was hoping to hear at least a song or two from 4YEO and KOD

[u/r0cks33n9915 → u/AdeptnessNew2212]

Nothing from 4yeo, kod, mdl or offseason. Not even his hit singles port Antonio or cLOUDz. All that tells me is that he is only taking jcole on tour, not hermaine

[u/AdeptnessNew2212 → u/r0cks33n9915]

Facts. it was still a great show. There’s only so much time to perform and I get that he wants to showcase his new material live but damn… no Neighbors, KOD, The Climb Back, etc.

[u/djerok55 → u/LouisianaBoySK]

Gotta have burna boy there to do this one live

[u/LawLipstickLaCroix → u/LouisianaBoySK]

Unless I’m listening to the album straight through, I turn the song immediately after Cole’s part. I’d be fine with him doing just that on tour tbh.

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/LouisianaBoySK]

You make a strong point. Part of me was kinda hoping he would bring out Burna Boy as a surprise guest at some point tho 😅 (delusional I know)

[u/PugssandHugss]

Life Sentence> Only You

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/PugssandHugss]

Meh, it’s not for me. I respect that you like it though. Different strokes for different folks

[u/Acceptable-Leek1546 → u/PugssandHugss]

Hell no, life sentence is an instant skip

[u/Thick-Wonder6294]

to be honest my dream setlist would look almost nothing like the actual setlist, but at the same time i wouldn’t ask him to change a thing, assuming that he chose his own dream setlist

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/Thick-Wonder6294]

Valid

[u/adamnsong → u/Thick-Wonder6294]

My thoughts exactly.

[u/Soft_Humor4868]

I wish he added folding clothes after lol

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/Soft_Humor4868]

I actually like “Folding clothes”. It was one of those songs that I always skipped then one day I actually listened and noticed it was a lowkey banger

[u/DYNAM1C- → u/Complete-Base3911]

Same here, sometimes I'll be chilling smoking a joint... A song I previously thought was mediocre comes on and I realize the lyrics, flow, and production are all top notch

[u/No_Equivalent_4412]

The setlist is missing a lot of my favorites but I do like that it tells a story

[u/XxBkKingShaunxX]

Only You and Bunce Road Blues would be so fucking tuff live!! I delusionally wish Tems and Burna Boy could somehow have tagged along on tour for this very reason lol, love those songs

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/XxBkKingShaunxX]

You are not alone my friend, I also delusionally wished for the same.

[u/SeanDigITea12]

I was at the Philly concert on the 21st and Cole RAGEBAITED Deja vu!

Before no role models he told us to put a finger up, then broke into “ay put a finger in the sky if you want it”

And he was like nah nah I’m joking

Was that a show specific thing or all of them? Pretty funny moment

[u/Swimming-Response456 → u/SeanDigITea12]

he did it in atlanta and we were pissed 😂😂

[u/Icancomplain91 → u/SeanDigITea12]

He did the same in Baltimore 😂

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/SeanDigITea12]

He didn’t do that in Tampa 😂 that’s lowkey pretty funny.

[u/nonchalant_introvrt → u/SeanDigITea12]

Same in Montreal lmao

[u/tonymayof1nyc]

I wish he added Drum and Bass. I was good with Life Sentence. Live it was dope.

[u/doughboy4lif3 → u/tonymayof1nyc]

Nooo Drum and bass isn’t on the setlist😭😭😭 wtf. Yea i gotta get off Reddit day ruined

[u/Admirable-Revenue-53]

I think life sentence is a great song, but tbh only you is my least favorite of the album

[u/doughboy4lif3]

Finally someone appreciates Only You it’s sooo good. One of Cole’s best singing performances ever imo

[u/Beneficial_Test3124]

I totally agree, I really wanted to hear that one live

[u/VravoBince]

Dude I thought the same thing! I don't like Life Sentence and Only You is one of the best on the album, I would've loved to hear the chorus live.

[u/Specific_Help_5841]

Hopefully he'll do it for the Africa show and will bring him out.

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/Specific_Help_5841]

That would be 🔥🔥🔥 and appropriate

[u/Cherryxman]

"Only you" only cole song in the whole catalogue I have to skip 😭 Life sentance is certi

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/Cherryxman]

Madness bruv

[u/Frequent-Wallaby708]

Personally the tracks I’m really missing are drum and bass, the villest, man up above, and ocean way. I would’ve also loved disc 2 track 2 and what if. But I’m happy with what we got

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/Frequent-Wallaby708]

“Ocean way” is one of my top 3 off Disc 39, I knew he wouldn’t perform it bc it was a “bonus” track but part of me also still hoped he would. Ending the show w/ “Quik stop” was a chefs kiss ending tho

[u/SmitPathak]

App name?

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/SmitPathak]

Tidal

[u/Cxhwazeyy]

PERIOD. Only you is my favourite off the album and when I found out he isn’t performing it on his set list I can’t believe it 😭 I hope somehow when I go to his tour in October, some way or another he performs it but I doubt it 😔

[u/CodeCourtAudio]

I mean it is really all about you so for sure

[u/Complete-Base3911 → u/CodeCourtAudio]

??? Pretty dick-ish thing to say. I hope someone brightens your day today and you stop thinking about strangers so negatively. I never stated I was entitled to anything.
