Setlists

Every year Radio 1 "present" a selection of the world's biggest bands and broadcast the gigs live. Looking through their exhaustive photo archives, some of the most interesting pictures document the band's set lists. These are the sheets of paper that are often taped to the stage next to microphone stands and monitors, often with bottles of beer stood on them, that remind the band members what song they are meant to play next.


Kings Of Leon obviously don't take a typographer on tour.


Killers in 2006 bold and readable in low-light conditions but interesting that they need to be reminded which band they are. Is this just Flowers anticipating that the list might at one point become a souvenir for one lucky audience member?


Killers 2008


Metallica literally blackened. Looks like they need to clean their jets though. So much duck tape on here they're obviously trying to make sure this never becomes a souvenir.


Hard-Fi with sound engineer's concise notation and the possibility of an encore.


Foo Fighters was spotted on eBay ten minutes after this picture.


Bloc Party obviously do take a typographer on tour.


Kaiser Chiefs even their setlist is average.


Nobody told Razorlight about the global Comic Sans ban.



Franz Ferdinand prefer Verdana.
