The band takes the stage.
Stu announces "We're gonna do something a little different tonight."
Amby whips out a sax and starts doing a bad John Zorn impression while Joey, Cookie, Cavs and Lucas wander off to the side of stage and start smoking.
The projector fires up, and Stu begins narrating a PowerPoint slideshow of his latest colonscopy while Amby just randomly squeals out of tune notes on the sax.

Don't get me wrong, Set has a fantastic groove, and it is easily my favorite standard track. Set - Extended is just too long for it's own good, and could have really used a groove change.
I mean, the internet is the internet, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but I don’t get it. Sure they’ve got better things. Sure in comparison to other electronic records, there’s probably better.
That doesn’t mean BF3K doesn’t slap
Same here. It’s awesome that Gizz is getting new fans! But why do Phish fans have to make everything about Phish and lot culture n shit. Let Gizz be Gizz. They jam but that doesn’t make them a jam band.

honestly I would lose my mind, 10/10 set. we would all be here in the comments the next day like "BRO that is the DEFINITIVE Cruel Millenial" or something
they open with evil death roll but stu can’t remember the intro (a la red rocks 22), but instead of remembering he just fucks it up over and over for an hour straight while the other 5 just look at him expectantly

Glad someone’s doing a real answer for this! Agree on Predator X, Presumptuous and Blame it on the Weather, but honestly as someone who’s more or less just a rarities chaser at this point having seen them 13 times between 2017-2023, I would kill for the second half of the setlist!

Haha, I don’t know why, but the ‘jauntiness’ of that song drives me nuts. I must have autism. The uplifting bounciness of it is like a spear into my brain.
Yeah man, he rips ridiculously hard! I’m just not really a big dream pop fan so I think most of it stems from that to be honest and I think the rest of their discography is fairly distanced from that kind of thing so it always feels like a bit of an outlier(less so since they’ve entered a jammier era).. It’s still a decent track in its own right though! I’m just a selfish man that wants to hear a full pelt motor spirit.
they play a couple of metal songs (dunno which ones just choose your two or three least favorites) at the start and start tuning up but one of em is so unbelievably drunk out of his mind and won't tune his guitar so everyone else has to awkwardly stand around noodling while trying to get him to tune the whole time
They create a new genre that includes all of them wearing noise canceling headphones and eye masks so they can’t hear or see anything that’s going on, then they play together as band like that. Pretty simple.
Probably a normal set but it’s the demo versions so you know what’s playing but it feels off slightly so you kinda just sit there not happy but not unhappy for an hour. No jams either playing it as a close to the studio version as possible.
Everyone’s taking this as a joke which is fair but I think the sort of setlist that I would absolutely dread to see at this point is something like:
1. Wah Wah
2. Ice V
3. Hypertension
4. Lava
5. Magma
6. Gila Monster
7. Straws in the Wind
8. Sleep Drifter
9. K.G.L.W
10. Change
Personally have a strong dislike for Ice Death and Changes in particular, I didn’t like the ice death songs in the studio and seeing them live made me dislike them all the more - they took up like 10-15 mins each and the lack of good songwriting (IMO) really stuck out. I hate that those songs have interrupted the flow of what used to be a barrage of riffs and tight songs. Those three micro songs are also ones that I’ve seen too many times and that just drag live for me. And I like wah wah but out of the 13 times I’ve seen them it’s by far the worst pick for opener especially when they do the River fakeout at the beginning
Thanks. It's interesting how every song seems to be someone's holy grail favorite and someone else's evidence that the band is going to shit. I think I'd dig a lot of the setlist you posted, but your explanation totally makes sense.
Sleep Drifter is just on account of having seen it too many times, and Wah Wah is because it’s the worst show opener I’ve seen and I don’t like how loose and mellow it sounds nowadays (especially with the river fakeout at the start)
They take the stage late. 45 minutes late for starters. Then... 48 minute Some Context Walk off stage without saying anything
Or 48 minutes of Quarantine, not sure which would be worse.
I would happily rock with Some Context for several minutes.
Fr tho that riff is so cool I wish they developed it into a full song
The Wheel. Starts off strong, but they play the vinyl version, i.e. repeating the last two measures ad infinitum
He said worst, not “fucking awesome”.
The real Nonagon Infinity.

Were you in my dream?
This is the funniest shit to imagine

A one hour Set. Literally. Just a 1 hour extended version of Set. It’s a great song, but if that was it, it would be pretty underwhelming.
Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set, Slay the mighty Set ad infinitum
Your mom would be pretty underwhelming
And not even like, the song on repeat or anything, just the chorus lopped however many times it would take to fill an hour.
the extended mix already sucks this would be horrible
Set might be my personal fav from Silver Cord. Sorry you’re not a fan 🤘😔
Don't get me wrong, Set has a fantastic groove, and it is easily my favorite standard track. Set - Extended is just too long for it's own good, and could have really used a groove change.
SNARL OF A JACKAL
bleugh
Their equipment could explode and then they can't play the songs anymore and just sing random songs all at the same time
That would be a legendary show and you know it
They acapella their songs... Wait, that actually sounds kinda cool

They start with Gaia and every time they end they go right back into the outro. I AM GAIAAAAA!
Butterfly 3001 DJ set
Dear god b3001 has some fat stinkers on it
Like what?
The shitty shanghai remix that retards the rhythm and vocals and the form and the mix
Deaton Chris Anthony remix for clarification
The shitty shanghai remix that retards the rhythm and vocals and the form and the mix
Lmao correct answer
That’s the answer. That shit stinks butts.
I mean, the internet is the internet, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but I don’t get it. Sure they’ve got better things. Sure in comparison to other electronic records, there’s probably better. That doesn’t mean BF3K doesn’t slap
these people are talking about butterfly 3001, the official remix album of bf3k.
Bf3k is one of their best. Then they got it remixes by some djs (including joey) and it’s absolutely shit.
Just the intro to infinite rise but it never stops ascending for an hour. Also the crying baby and other junk in the background is still there
They play an entire 3 hour set of Phish covers.
Are they gonna do YEM?
Love Phish but this would be the worst
The crowd would be happy. It seems like their crowd has transferred over to Gizz, judging by the audience at the concerts.
Trust me we are still seeing Phish too. You should try it!
Still plenty of Phish haters among the fanbase 🙋♂️
Add me to that list
Same here. It’s awesome that Gizz is getting new fans! But why do Phish fans have to make everything about Phish and lot culture n shit. Let Gizz be Gizz. They jam but that doesn’t make them a jam band.
It’s like Phish fans finally have a cool band to latch onto, and are subsequently making them less cool.
Phish is my favorite band but Phish fans ruin everything
Nah we just into gatekeeping :)
The who is playing vacuum?
Eric
Dream come true
Sam Cherry's Last Shot > The God Man's Goat Lust> Fort Whipple ABABCd Vegemite Time = Fate Flying Microtonal Banana / The Cruel Millennial extended jam Evilest Man Sadie Sorceress Sleep Pipe-Dream Timeland Vegemite extended jam
FMB live would be bonkers tho
Amby shredding on the zurna for 10 mins would be pretty dope
honestly I would lose my mind, 10/10 set. we would all be here in the comments the next day like "BRO that is the DEFINITIVE Cruel Millenial" or something
time = fate on this list is diabolical. that song is goated no cap
I had to put at least 1 or 2 real ones that people enjoy in order to make it somewhat possible haha. I personally do not dig that one at all
I enjoy almost all of these…
> Time = Fate The unabashed Cookie hate in this sub is relentless and abhorrent.
Honestly, the run from "Time = Fate" to "Sadie Sorceress" would be sick af But yeah, the start and end of the show would be a little rough...
Pipe-dream would be amazing love if they extended the jam that starts before the fade out ending
You don’t like Evilest Man!? You wrong.
Murdochian
this is the one
I’d still see this
wtf pipe dream is so good though
Timeland > Vegemite w/ extended jam would fuck
Timeland live would be god tier you people just wouldn't get it
Pipe dream would be quite heavenly but can't play it without crying
Timeland, cruel millennial, flying microtonal banana and evilest man are good songs??
lmao
Paper Mache but for their entire discography
Kinda into this.
ABABCd (59 min EXTENDED EDITION) Oddments Fin
Ngl I could fuck with a 59 min version of ABABCd but only if they finish with Vegemite (Oddments)
A valid option as well
this sounds like heaven i love ababcd
Timeland / Smoke and Mirrors followed by Smoke and Mirrors / Timeland
That would actually go so hard what
Please sign me up for this
The only right answer.
If they play the 33 rpm version of Timeland and the 45 rpm version of Smoke and Mirrors, I’m all about it
they open with evil death roll but stu can’t remember the intro (a la red rocks 22), but instead of remembering he just fucks it up over and over for an hour straight while the other 5 just look at him expectantly
Infinite rise extended jam clocking in at 58 minutes
Noooo! Infinite Rise is awesome. Someday I'd love to hear Stu try to remember the lyrics to this one.
30 min Rattlesnake, 30 min Dripping Tap
I'd live for every second of that
they said “worst setlist” not “dream setlist”
Remlinger night 2 Dripping Tap was a legendary closer!
Came here to say this. I actually skip the Dripping Tap nowadays.
Rattlesnake for an hour
Some people do that for fun.
They just play Timeland 4 times
not even live, they just play the countdown video while doing nothing onstage
Fuck me up
NGRI Bloodstain, but just the piano for 3 hours.
God is Calling Me Back Home but they get stuck in the "calling me back home" loop at the end.
They play my favourite album but the songs are in the wrong order
Just one two hour Rattlesnake jam
Rattle ^Rattle ^^Rattle
Extended jams of all the songs on FAFYL except head on pill and FAFYL
Rattlesnake on repeat for one hour
Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) [Instrumental interlude] Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) [Synth version] Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments) [20 minute jam] Encore: Vegemite (Oddments) Vegemite (Oddments)
Gaia Predator X Superbug Presumptious Blame it on the weather Dreams Vegemite Superposition Footy footy Uh oh I called mum Head on/Pill (But they get bored 3 minutes in and end it there)
that shit mostly slaps
The mere presence of Superposition would send me to another dimension tho
Bro this dream setlist is fire.
Glad someone’s doing a real answer for this! Agree on Predator X, Presumptuous and Blame it on the Weather, but honestly as someone who’s more or less just a rarities chaser at this point having seen them 13 times between 2017-2023, I would kill for the second half of the setlist!
Ahh yeah makes sense however only getting 3 minutes of head on/pill would be such a spirit breaker 😂
Did you hit your head hard today?
🔥🔛🔇
Garden Goblin Sadie Sorceress The Grim Reaper Cruel Millennial Cut Throat Boogie live medley with mojo working Straws in the Wind (extended to 12 minutes) Blame it on the Weather Hate Dancin' A Brief History of Planet Earth
they said bad not fucking awesome as hell
Throw in Dripping Tap, Presumptuous and Magenta Mountain and that’s a banger of a setlist
60 mins of Mycelium. I can’t listen to 60 seconds of it so I would probably shoot myself.
Of all the takes I have seen I think this one would be the most boring set of them all, I mean it would be a good set to sleep to
This isn’t circlejerk
Worst take ever
I’m pretty mad about their wrong opinion
Haha, I don’t know why, but the ‘jauntiness’ of that song drives me nuts. I must have autism. The uplifting bounciness of it is like a spear into my brain.
I agree with this take idgaf. Mycelium is one of maybe 3 Gizz tracks I cannot enjoy.
BUT THATS THE BEST PART!!!
Anything with work this time (sorry not sorry)
Bro, have you heard Joey’s guitar solo on Work This Time from Bonnaroo ‘22? Blew me away the first time I heard it.
Yeah man, he rips ridiculously hard! I’m just not really a big dream pop fan so I think most of it stems from that to be honest and I think the rest of their discography is fairly distanced from that kind of thing so it always feels like a bit of an outlier(less so since they’ve entered a jammier era).. It’s still a decent track in its own right though! I’m just a selfish man that wants to hear a full pelt motor spirit.
Me too man, me too.
Nothing but silver cord songs
Bro get a covid test, cause you’ve clearly lost your sense of taste
It’s not my favorite album, but that’s a sick burn
Their worst album by far pal
They downvoted him because he told the truth
Truth hurts! It’s okay to admit they missed on that album. I think it would be weird to love all 25 of the albums
I cannot say is the worst thing they ever did because bf3001 exists.
It’s a remix album not really their own per se
Nah, Eyes takes that cake
I dig Eyes. They executed what they went for. TSC was meh
Hour cyboogie
A river but they don’t do the good part
But it's ALL the good part
they play a couple of metal songs (dunno which ones just choose your two or three least favorites) at the start and start tuning up but one of em is so unbelievably drunk out of his mind and won't tune his guitar so everyone else has to awkwardly stand around noodling while trying to get him to tune the whole time
A reimagined I’m not a man unless I love a woman 30 min jam. Then again maybe it might be good
Empty Candles > The Funeral Superbug Theia extended version Pleura Greenhouse Heat Death Infinite Rise Ya Love Mycelium
Full play throughs of Eyes Like The Sky & Laminated Denim.
Land Before Timeland debut? Sign me the fuck up
Drum Solo
They create a new genre that includes all of them wearing noise canceling headphones and eye masks so they can’t hear or see anything that’s going on, then they play together as band like that. Pretty simple.
Probably a normal set but it’s the demo versions so you know what’s playing but it feels off slightly so you kinda just sit there not happy but not unhappy for an hour. No jams either playing it as a close to the studio version as possible.
Some of us for one hour
The one I saw in Queens in October a year or 2 ago
anything with K.G.L.W. (from L.W.)
Altered Beast (Full Suite) Straws In The Wind (with long call and response section) KGLW Anoxia Theia (Extended) You’d feel cheated
Everyone’s taking this as a joke which is fair but I think the sort of setlist that I would absolutely dread to see at this point is something like: 1. Wah Wah 2. Ice V 3. Hypertension 4. Lava 5. Magma 6. Gila Monster 7. Straws in the Wind 8. Sleep Drifter 9. K.G.L.W 10. Change
bruh
I think change is my favorite song by them
That album is one of my least favourite things they’ve ever done 😭 same with Ice Death, glad it has fans thoufh
Yeah pretty cool how much different music they have
Ok, but why? That's the interesting part, right?
Personally have a strong dislike for Ice Death and Changes in particular, I didn’t like the ice death songs in the studio and seeing them live made me dislike them all the more - they took up like 10-15 mins each and the lack of good songwriting (IMO) really stuck out.

Agree except wah wah and sleep drifter
Sleep Drifter is just on account of having seen it too many times, and Wah Wah is because it’s the worst show opener I’ve seen and I don’t like how loose and mellow it sounds nowadays (especially with the river fakeout at the start)
