I'm curious...what tracks off TGOS1 did they perform?
Don't think they did anything off of TGOS1. Not that I remember anyway, so don't quote me.

They did Runaway at both the SF & LA shows. At SF, they did "something old" (The Second Track), and followed it up with "something new" (Runaway). I actually talked to Thes a bit about it, and he doesn't like to play too much with the live PUTS formula, partially because he feels like some songs wouldn't work live, and partially because they feel like they have to get the popular tracks in.thebigdes99 said:

I mean, there are definitely parts of the show that they can do whatever they please, but Thes more or less said that he would feel like they were letting the crowd down if they didn't do Acid Raindrops, Beer, Trippin' At The Disco, SF Knights, Tuxedo Rap, Montego Slay, and 1 Up Til Sun Up. They will probably always be mainstays at the shows. (Even though I personally like Beer and 1 Up just as much as the other tracks, popular opinion for those seems a little less strong than the others.)
From personal experience, I've noticed that they USUALLY play Second Track and/or Double K Show (need that scratching!), they've been playin' Get Hip a lot (aw yeah!!), and they usually do a remix/suite of some kind that usually revolves around LA9X/LA Song or OST. They also like to toss in Kidd Drunkadelic after Beer sometimes (topical). Always a great show, regardless!
I hope they keep Runaway for the live sets. If they had to add one more from the new album, I think most people would want "Alleys", but I think "The Love" would be better live.... And if I had to pick an American Men Vol 2 track, I think "A Westward Coast" would edge out "Turfbuilders" (and "You Lied" would be absolutely hilarious).

I'm not surprised they performed "Runaway" since it seems to be not only the most popular song off TGOS1 but it would most likely be the single of the album if they were to do so-I actually had the privilege of seeing the P perform this track with Greg Nice himself last summer in Brooklyn, way before TGOS1 was out!! (although I don't remember exactly how the track sounded, especially cuz they probably made some changes or final touches to it since then)
and yes Sactown I'm also not surprised to hear that Thes told you they don't like to tweak the live set lists too much, because in the four times I've seen the P, they have played all or at least most of the tracks you mentioned. "Beer" always gets me going and I'm always the loudest person yelling "get the f*** outta here!!!" The scratching is always a pleasure to see, and it's cool how Thes always stands right next to Double on the boards during "The Double K Show."
always a great show indeed!
I keep thinking about the times I've seen the P live, and I've at least heard one track from every album and in a show in Eugene, OR in May 2014 they played a song off every album except ...Or Stay Tuned and Fun DMC (and TGOS1 obviously)
and I agree with you Sactown on your choice from AMV2...but if they did indeed play "You Lied" I would go f***ing wild and rock out!!
