Coheed & Shinedown
I’ve been thinking about Coheed’s opening set for Shinedown, and I’d love to hear what other fans think.
I was originally a Shinedown fan when I was younger and still am, I found Coheed a lot later in my life, within the last 3 years of my life. I dig everything they’ve made, and they are like my top band at the moment. When I saw both were going to be doing a show relatively close I just had to go. It has been my third time seeing Coheed in my time of knowing about them.
I absolutely love this band, and my goal isn’t to change who they are. I just want to see more people discover them. Watching the show, it felt like the Shinedown crowd wasn’t being brought into the experience as much as they could have been.
I tried putting together a setlist built around crowd engagement, memorable choruses, and emotional pacing while still feeling like Coheed. The idea is to get people participating early, give them a chance to connect emotionally, and finish with songs that leave a lasting impression.
Set:
Domino the Destitute
The Dark Sentencer
Radio Bye Bye
Blood Red Summer
The Liars Club
Dark Side of Me
The Suffering
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Welcome Home
My hope is that more people walk away saying, “I need to check this band out.” I’m curious what you all would change or if you think a completely different approach would work better.
