Alt-rock gods Bush and Live are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark albums with a 33-date North American summer tour called The ALTimate Tour!
The two classic rock bands kicked off their co-headlining trek June 6 in Mashantucket, Connecticut and are expected to wrap things up September 8 in Rochester, Michigan.
Bush and Live are celebrating 25 years since their breakout albums– Sixteen Stone and Throwing Copper, respectively. Sixteen Stone birthed iconic songs "Glycerine" and "Comedown," and Throwing Copper spawned anthemic singles "I Alone" and "Throwing Copper."
Both bands have been roaring through classics and new songs alike... keep looking for an inside scoop from EACH band's killer setlist!
What songs do they open up with?
Bush have opened every show so far with "Machinehead," naturally!
Live have been switching things up, opening with "All Over You" 18 times so far and "The Dam at Otter Creek" 13 times.
And what do they close with?
Bush have closed with "Comedown" the most (29 times). They've also closed a few shows with "Little Things" (twice) and a cover of The Beatles' "Come Together" once.
Live, on the other hand, have closed with "Lightning Crashes" every night!
What are their most played songs?
Both bands highlight their anniversary albums pretty extensively.
Bush have played "Comedown," "Everything Zen," "Little Things," "Machinehead" and "This Is War" at EVERY show, 32 times each.
Live play "All Over You," "I Alone" and "Lightning Crashes" each night, followed closely by "Lakini's Juice," "Selling the Drama" and "The Dolphin's Cry," which they've played 31 times.
