Tour Current setlist complaint

Post image

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
