She's stated many times IWY is her favorite song to sing. It shows off her vocals. It's one of her oldest songs and a longtime fan favorite. It has a special meaning, fans have used it for years as a show of support for Avril in fanmade videos and stuff: "I'm with you." And Avril has used it as a song for fans to comfort them in times of sadness or loneliness, like how Avril's music has helped many people throughout bad times in their life. It symbolizes her music being there for us and us being there for her. That's why she saved it for the finale.

I could forgive her getting bored of Complicated tbh. I mean how many times must she have performed that song by now? not many more than that filler IWY. IWY and IWIM are so overrated on here IMO both Filler She's stated many times IWY is her favorite song to sing. It shows off her vocals. It's one of her oldest songs and a longtime fan favorite. It has a special meaning, fans have used it for years as a show of support for Avril in fanmade videos and stuff: "I'm with you." And Avril has used it as a song for fans to comfort them in times of sadness or loneliness, like how Avril's music has helped many people throughout bad times in their life. It symbolizes her music being there for us and us being there for her. That's why she saved it for the finale. Moments like these is what reminds and astounds me just how different we see and perceive things around us. To me and to many others, as you've mentioned, I'm With You is a top notch song that evokes strong emotions, its the highlight, an everlasting piece, that one could hardly imagine ever not liking it any more - yet, as seen with Mike quoted right above, to some others this is just a mere filler, overplayed cliche way past its expiration date. So, mike17, sorry, but for some of us its still a damn cold night , and we're still trying to figure out this life .

IWY is the one song that if she didn’t play I’d be really disappointed. I feel like every artist has that one song they HAVE to play for the fans and IWY is hers.

Oh also worth mentioning, Matt (her brother) came out in the middle of the show and replaced the setlist. I'm wondering if perhaps a song (or both songs) were cut out after the show started due to time constraints. The Greek Theater is in the hills of a really rich neighborhood so perhaps the venue gets fined if the shows go late? After all, I could hear her soundcheck from outside and she rehearsed Dumb Blonde during it. Time was not a issue the issue was Avril The worst part of the tour is seeing the negativity from a small number of fans like this guy when she cuts a setlist short by two songs. Give me a break. The show was incredible and everyone in LA had a great time. I didn't hear one complaint after the show about the setlist.

And I love that for the first time in a long time, she's ending her set with an epic ballad instead of Sk8er Boi (even though I live Sk8er Boi) but it's cool to see that she doesn't always need to end every show with a ton of energy because IWY hypes up the crowd just as much, if not more!

It baffles me how a few fans would prefer her not to sing the classics. There are 5 major hits she's known for and I can't imagine them not being part of the setlist.
But I also can't understand Avril and her team's decision to cut HAW songs and keep the covers. I would think the covers would be the first thing to go. It's a weird fandom to be a part of sometimes.

Maybe the wrong thread? but I just want to say (as a skateboarder for life) that I love the new 'Head Above Water' skateboard merchandise. I think that's really cool. I wonder if it has pop and behaves like a top quality deck?

She could sing the 5 major hits and still make at least 10 HAW songs. She could easily make a 20 songs setlist. And that's really a poor setlist. At this time, she's completely able to make a 2 hours show. She has the songs. She has the experience. But she doesn't have the desire to make it happen. And this is not a thing about Lyme. She could make a 10 or 15 minutes break in the middle. Like many artists do. 10 songs from the new album, 5 hits and the other 5 songs could be oldies-but-goldies and covers.

I think she’s mostly singing the hits because it’s what people know. Yeah I wish she would try to cater more to her hardcore fans that want to hear the new songs but I can also understand why for her first tour in 5 years she is trying to do what people know. Every time she asks what fans want to hear a surprising amount of people request the hits, as though she wasn’t already going to play them. You can never go wrong playing the classics. However I think there’s some singles she could drop like HW that wasn’t even a hit here.

If she performs TMIO or Bigger Wow (#justiceforbiggerwow) is when I'll die of jealousy. Crush too but idk Zane so if she duets it with him it will lessen the blow.

She played Warrior today. Dumb Blonde returned to the setlist.
