If you’re considering any MOIST songs, I’d love to hear Picture Elvis. I can still recall the first time I saw it performed at Call the Office in London, and would love to relive that moment, if possible!

Matt G • August 6th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Hey David,
I’ve seen a few of your shows and I can’t get the opening of “Unholy, Dirty & Beautiful” out of my memory (I think it 2 years ago that you performed that song as the opening). I even brought a few friends to see you for the first time, and they were immediately hooked by the dark and mysterious tone that the song sets. “Life of Bees” or “Everything is all right by me now” may be a good one for this year?
From what I’ve seen, you seem more comfortable performing songs with a slight edge and more of a rock sound in front of a live audience- keeping the energy on stage alive. Bring back the flashing lights, the mist, the David Usher emerging from the shadows, behind the stage! You Rock! – M
Laura • August 6th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
what I’d love to hear (even though I’ll be in Israel and thus won’t be able to attend, *tear*)
- surfacing
-numb
-f train
-joy in small places
-a day in the life
-black black heart
-ugly is beautiful
-some people say
And from Moist, Underground or Kill For You
Karine • August 6th, 2008 at 7:29 pm

Kristine • August 6th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Holy! I miss one day here and come back to see a new blog post with 61 responses! I guess we were all just WAITING for David to ask us for input. ;)
I’m happy to see all the requests for White Flag. My friend was just playing Strange Birds in the car and I was telling her how I had hoped that White Flag would be the 3rd single from SB.
Okay, my top choices are:
Message Home (always!)
Unholy
Babyskin Tattoo
Surfacing
Hallucinations
Spotlight On (please!)
White Flag
Long Goodbye
Hope
And So We Run
Moist: Underground, Leave it Alone, Silver or Gasoline
Thanks for asking us! :)
ElizabethLouise • August 6th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

I know the song is old but it means something special to me.
Thanks a Bunch!!!

I don’t really care as long as you’re playing them in Calgary :)
If we’re requesting Moist songs though, Push, Gasoline, Hate, Silver and Leave It Alone are always the first songs played on my iPod so I’d love to hear them live again.

Sandenn • August 7th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Hey:
I have been to a few of your concerts now and would love to hear you play “Tomorrow Comes” “Time of Our Lives” and “Fast Car” I’ve yet to hear these ones live and just for reference I usually go see your shows in Halifax and they are always amazing. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer.
Juliana • August 7th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Hi David! I would LOOOOOOVE TO HEAR ….
SUNDAY COMES
SOME PEOPLE SAY
Thank you soooo much for your music all these years

Juliana • August 7th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Sorry, just like to add SUNDAY COMES … in TORONTO :)
yvette kirchgesner • August 7th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Just listened to “This Shrieking Love” again in the car and just wanted to reiterate that this would be the most awesome one for you to do at your live shows:-) Kevin could pound on the keys like there’s no tomorrow and the bass and guitar makes one want to jump around and go crazy! There are so many tempo changes…which you can use to do that unique dancing and to jump into the crowd and seduce us…Haha! So much fun! It might be a challenge, but you guys can do it…you’re not that old! Okay, now I’m goading you…not fair, right. Anyway, think about it for me in Saskatoon! Time to get started. XO
Kristin • August 7th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I really love blinded please please play it. I’ll be at your edmonton show and you better be there lol

ElizabethLouise • August 7th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Good call Stuart, I could go for a live DVD even though I’m not too far from shows. I love the UTube videos everyone is posting (please don’t stop guys), but the quality isn’t so grand. Plus I wouldn’t mind seeing some vids that show the entire band. Not that I mind looking at David, but I never feel like I can hear music properly until I can identify all the seperate parts. And since I don’t see them releasing the unmixed recordings, live vid showing the whole band is the easiest way. Maybe a vid compiled of parts of shows from the upcoming tour? Ooohhh maybe with extras like onstage bloopers, banter or toying with band members for giggles and good times. LOL
Karsten • August 7th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
First off, please come to the Okanagan; specifically Penticton. Secondly, song choices:

Hi David….I love your energy..and the emotion that pours out with it….I could listen to your music and hear your voice echo to no end…ah, but all good things must come to an end…and then I hit the play button again and let it start all over again….I don’t know how you do it…nor do I want to know your secret.
On to other things….I’d love to hear you in some smaller venues, and play acoustic sets.
Keep Well,
Todd

I’ve never been disappointed by the set list (I’m always just excited to be there!), but I recently saw a youtube video of you performing Everything is Allright, and I’d love to see it live in Vancouver!
Thanks! ^^

David,
I would love to hear:

-Fast Car
-Joy In Small Places (invite “Snow” out to the Toronto show as a special guest and rock this extra-ordinary song out!)
-F-Train

Bryan • August 10th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
just a side note!
I think sparse recorded songs sound the best live!!
maybe it’s because you have more to work with?
but yea, just about everything from “Little Songs” and “If God Had Curves” would sound amazing live!
Laura C. • August 10th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
i put my choices up a few days ago, but somehow forgot one of my favorite songs:
- How are you
thanks!

Lica • August 11th, 2008 at 4:46 pm

Eric • August 13th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Well, I live in Northern California and I know chances are very slim that you & your band will stop here for a gig… But in a perfect world, you would make a stop to San Francisco and play:
How are you (personal favorite)
Black Black Heart (Never seen it live)
Hallucinations
Last time I saw you live was in 1999 for the M5&D tour in Montreal, and it was electrifying. Maybe I’ll try to fly to Vancouver, but it’s hard with the newborn baby girl…
Have a great tour David & Co.

Songs I haven’t heard done live in the 15 or so shows I’ve seen, but would love to:
- Tidal/Fearless
- Going Home
- White Flag (OK, heard it once, but it was muffed!)
Anything else is icing on the cake!
Kaila Cusinato • August 13th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Since I haven’t heard you sing it live in a LONG time (if ever, I can’t remember) Jesus Was My Girl, and also How Are You. And would it be totally out of the question to hear you do your awesome Pink spiced with Crazy Train cover? That was great…
RomeoRomance • August 14th, 2008 at 11:40 am

These songs are fantastic, but it wouldn’t matter really because I’ve yet to hear a David Usher song I sincerely dislike.

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR HALLUCINATIONS!!!
I’d list a million more but it looks lke everyone has got them all covered.
Back in the day you used to do an Ozzy/Pink Cover – so fun. Do it again, I DARE YA; DOUBLE DO DARE YA!!
Can’ wait!

I’d love to hear ‘Blinded’, ‘Too Close To The Sun’, ‘Hallucinations’, ‘Devil By My Side’, ‘I’m Coming Down’, ‘White Flag’, ‘Some People Say’, ‘Going Home’. Obviously there probably isn’t room for all of those but those are the songs that come to my head instantly!
Kevin • August 18th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
‘Hallucinations’ and ‘In This Light’!!!!!!! I love those songs! And ‘The Music’, ‘Science’, ‘Devil by my side’, ‘St. Lawrence River’, ‘White Flag’, ‘My Way Out’, ‘Trickster’, and ‘I’m coming down’.
‘Kill The Lights” is awesome btw! can’t wait for the new album!
Lucy C. • August 18th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Science, My Way Out, Time of our Lives, Numb…I could go on & on.
Love the new stuff….looking forward to the whole album.
