[DID NOT ATTEND: July 24, 2021] Barenaked Ladies
Ten years ago we saw Barenaked Ladies at New Jersey Festival of Ballooning and it was pretty cool. Hearing them sing Light Up My Room as the balloons lifted off was a cool moment to be sure.
I didn’t intend to see them on this summer’s tour because I don’t really like either of the bands they are playing with (and I’ve seen them a lot already). But when I heard they were going to play the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning again, I was totally in.
Until I realized we’d already booked a vacation and would be away. It would have been an appropriate return to concerts since I have seen them so much. It also would have been fun since it was their first show in a couple of years. But it was not to be.
So here’s the setlist from the show. A few years ago I said I didn’t need to see BNL again because they tend to play the same songs every show. That’s not exactly true, but they have said that they feel like they need to play a lot of their biggest hits for the fans. So you get five or six of the same songs every show. And yet, it’s been two albums since I saw them last, so they had five songs I’d never heard before. (more…)
