“Do you
believe that you can walk on water?” is the anthemic rhetoric in 30 Seconds To
Mars’ welcome first new single (Walk On
Water)– the long-awaited taste of the band’s upcoming new album, (due for
release on April 6th), -that after 4 years since their last studio release, every fan is now aching to hear.
In support of the impending collection, Jared
Leto et al have embarked on a string of highly anticipated Spring/Summer European
& U.S. dates, hitting the UK shores by the end of this week.
In a bid to
abate the insatiable thirst for these shows, thoughts turn to what treasured gems
might make the cut into the mix onstage; but in the current absence of album
five -and an eclectically styled, cherished back-catalogue, spanning fifteen
years - wistful ideas of already-established numbers in a decadent dream
setlist are afoot.
What will make the grade? Full pelt older more rocky or ‘Emo’ numbers –
the latter, if given an outing, often only acoustically? Rarities that miss the light of day? Perhaps an ‘outside the box’ cover of a
Beatles classic? or, even for those stalwart old skool fans of Jared aka ’
Jordan Catalano’ -the character portrayed by Leto in the 90’s teen drama
‘My So-Called Life- (this writer included) may we dare to
wish to be serenaded the show’s brief yet compelling pseudo-love song, ‘Red’?
Aside from
playing all albums back-to-back, here is a suggested an extended dream setlist
to delight and entertain -who
knows where this party could lead us? :
