[edit] Set list
Switchfoot's hit single Stars from their Nothing Is Sound album has been the staple-mark opener for the vast majority of their gigs. The Oh Gravity Tour also marks the first time the band has played the songs "Faust, Midas, and Myself," and "4:12" live. As usual, Switchfoot's first breakthrough single "Dare you to Move" has been used as the encore/finale. The band is keeping a diary called the "Daily Foot"[1] on their website to document each show of the tour. The entries include each gig's set list.
Switchfoot is known for their efforts to keep in touch with their fans and bring them alongside the process of writing, recording, releasing, and playing an album. In the Oh Gravity Tour, the band took this a step further by allowing fans to vote on the set list.[2] They are also allowing people to vote for non-Switchfoot songs, promising to "learn it if we can (Jon)" and play them in their live shows.
[edit] Live show bootlegs
On February 9, 2006, Tim Foreman talked about the possibility of releasing CDs of every show Switchfoot does during the Oh Gravity Tour.
"Another thing that we've never done before: sell bootlegs of a few songs from the show at the end of the night. See for a lot of us, the end of the night comes too soon. This way, you could actually be listening to the show in your car on the way home from the gig! So we're still trying to figure this one out logistically, but where there's a will there's a way."
- Switchfoot began selling these "live" CDs at the House of Blues on February 13. Each night they make 100 available, but the songs have been circulated through the world wide web with greater distribution.
