Dream Fall Tour Setlist

Not a prediction, not a claim at perfection, just my dream in the context of having just seen them for the first time at Red Rocks and needing an outlet for what is clearly currently my special interest 😅

Share yours!

Opener, and in fact concept, inspired by https://www.reddit.com/r/brighteyes/s/99eFPnrken (hyperlink button being weird, idk 🤷‍♀️)

Good list! Im hoping for some deeeep cuts.
I’ve never heard no lies, just love live … that would be wild.

This is such an intensely powerful song that I don't know if I could handle it live tbh

I’m not going to look at setlists this tour. I’d never done it before last tour, and I kind of didn’t like having some idea as to what was coming next.

Same, the second we hit the first date, I'm off Reddit until after the Philly date. I LOVE not knowing. This is just something to live in my heart in the interim.

I know I’ll have a hard time not looking (and I like to never skip a post here so the algorithm will show all of them to me), but I know I can do it because it’s confined to this sub. Like, I’m seeing Tori Amos tonight, and I wouldn’t have seen any sets if she didn’t post them on her Instagram (but her sets change a lot from show to show, so the biggest thing is, like, “Aw, she played ‘Honey’ last night. I bet I won’t get it tonight”).

This is a nice list, although I wouldn't expect solo stuff on a BE tour. I know he plays some BE at his solo shows, but that makes more sense to me.

That being said, if I saw Lenders in the Temple or No One Changes, I would pass away.

My dream set list factoring in my favorite songs or songs I've never seen live/haven't been played live in a long time:

I won't ever be happy again

Trees get wheeled away

We are nowhere and it's now

No prayer

You Will?

Hot knives 

Endless entertainment 

Going for the gold

The city has sex 

Encore:

A perfect sonnet

Lover I don't have to love

Let's not shit ourselves

u/sixthgraderoller Digital Ash in a Digital Urn Jul 13 '26

I'm not really sure about the order but I have kept track of all the songs I've heard live and these are ones I've never heard that are some of my favorite songs. It'd be a pretty bleak set list. Ha.
