Hard to argue with that setlist, although that Joy Division cover and that new 12 minute dance song "Freak Out/ Starry Eyes" would probably be ridiculous live. Wonder if any of the 45:33 stuff will ever see live rendition? That "shame on you" section is fab.

Isn't a lot of the 45:33 track off of the album? Plus, if they played that live I might get the urge to run in place the whole time....NIKE STYLE!

I think the only really significant chunk of 45:33 that popped up is in "Someone Great", so fair point that since they played that then they did play some of it. I just want the public shaming part. I'll post Freak Out sooner than later. It's got a similar feel to the Nike stuff.

The USOC should comission LCD to soundtrack the opening ceremonies of the next Olympics. For that matter, they could just blast 45:33 during the entire 10,000 meters.

I concede to JK. (who would win an argument or debate with this guy anyway?) After listening to the track again I have broken it down and yes, the "Someone Great" music is actually the only music off 45:33 that's on the album.

Here's my view of 45:33 and what might be worth hearing live. These are just rough estimates on the minute count. And the titles are just what I think they should be called (Someone Great excepted).

Minutes 1-9 Shame on You - This most definitely would be cool live
Minutes 9-17 - Someone Great - Slower but powerful and actually is the best song off the album
Minutes 17-29 - Outer Space - Fast paced, weird Darth Vader sounding voice at times but still cool and worth seeing live
Minutes 29-38 - Robot Talk - Not really the most outstanding stuff so it would be low on the totem pole as a live request
Minutes 38-45:33 - Zen Music - I don't care to hear this live at all but I might give it to my Yoga instructor
