So how long is their set?

What? They don't vary the setlist? What a ripoff to the fans! Lazy and
lame!
LOL
More foot-in-mouth disease from Rusty -
"I've heard that they've played the exact same setlist at every show
(including the exact same order). Disappointing. you would think
they would at least mix it up a little (even if just the order of
songs). People are paying good money." - Rushgedlife on Roth Reunion
"Nice to see that Springsteen is thinking of his fans and mixing up
the setlist. VH also played consecutive shows at the Wachovia Center
this month. They played the *exact* same setlist in the *exact* same
order. In fact, they've played the exact same setlist (in the exact
same order) at *every* show this tour. Lame. Lazy. Disappointing.
Looks like the Boss played seven different songs on his second night
in Philly. Nice job." - Rushgedlife
"Going through the motions for a desperately needed paycheck. My
biggest pet peeve is the setlist. The exact *same* songs in the exact
*same* order night after night after night. Even when playing two
shows at the same venue." - Rushgedlife
"There's nothing left to talk about. They play the *exact* same
setlist in the *exact* same order at every show. Then Roth humps an
inflatable microphone like a retard. The press has been brutal on
Roth. Total humiliation." - Rushgedlife on 100 million dollar Roth
Reunion
"All of the shows this tour have been perfunctory, by-the-book, cookie
cutter, hurry on/hurry off, cash-grab performances. Even so far as the
exact same setlist in the exact same order at every show.You would
think Roth could muster a little energy and enthusiasm for a hometown
show." - Rushgedlife
LOL
You go, Rusty!

That's what I'm wondering. Doesn't that seem short?

It's about 90 minutes. Going through the entire album *in order* and a
couple 70's burnout hard rock covers might make it seem like 3 hours though.
I salute these guys for having the ball's to play their entire album live
but to do it in the same order as the record every single night without
changing the running order and topping it off with a pair of burnout cuts
from Deep Purple and Montrose (of course) makes for a dull and very
predictable evening, imo.
I mean, there's a *very* short list of bands who have a truly great album or
two I'd want to see a show where they play *every* cut off the record during
their set - Led Zep, U2, Van Halen, Guns n' Roses, Springsteen, etc.........
Chickenfoot ain't anywhere near these guys.
BTW, while we're on a "rag on Chickenfoot" thread, I have to say whoever
designed the cheap cardboard sleeve for the cd really fucked up. The sleeve
is laminated with a dark translucent material almost like saran-wrap(sp?)
that is already peeling off the edges in big chips.

>Going through the entire album *in order*
Well, not exactly (Bitten By The Wolf).
To be fair, they have only released one CD (11 songs).
They are playing *every* Chickenfoot song that exists :)
Even "Bitten By The Wolf" (a bonus track available via album
download).
Clearly they're doing their own thing and having a blast.
It's a fun little side-project for them.
Release an album on an indie label, play those tunes in small venues.

This isn't just a "fun little side-project".
According to Sammy, it was supposed to be better than Led Zeppelin.
Record sales and concert attendance has been marginal. You would
think that putting Sammy (who can draw 20,000 in some markets) along
with Joe Satriani (the highest selling solo guitar virtuoso) would be
a payoff of mammoth proportions.

Actually, that's not true at all.
Hagar says totally the opposite -
"I just got to a point where I felt I needed to grow," Hagar says. "I
was feeling stuck and stagnant. And the whole party thing I created, I
just got tired of doing that. You need to eat and feed yourself in
order to grow and the best way to do it for me is to start new
projects, and I don't want to call this band a project because we're a
band. It's just getting together with other people for new input that
stimulates and inspires you to become better. That's all there is to
it."
"We spent a lot of time together in the recording studio working long
hours to make Chickenfoot live up to expectations. We really feel like
we've mastered it and recorded a great album." - Joe Satriani
This is a *band* that spent a long time *working* long hours in the
studio. This is far from a "a silly side-project" you keep describing
it as...
They also have an Internet store:
http://chickenfoot.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wo/4.13.1.3.NavBar7.3.1
"We want to take this thing worldwide" is not a "a silly side-project"
Hagar is already talking about the next tour and how they may added
more Van Hagar songs, "At some point, I think it will be the next
album project and tour when we have more songs under our belt."
"I don't think I could have written a record this good by myself in
100 years," Hagar says.
Good for you, Sammy.
These guys are clearly serious and are pouring their heart and soul
into this project and it has been heavily advertised on TV and the
press.
"I just got my Best Buy Reward Zone flyer in the mail today. On of the
four coupons in the packet is a 10% coupon off on three items, one of
them being Chickenfoot CD. Also had a little write up in the coupon
holder. Best Buy is doing a good job of promoting this album. My local
store still had the Chickenfoot display up on the security door
devices." - samhalen, CFLinks
It was an interesting novelty - a 60 year old, overweight tequila
salesman teaming with a down-on-his-luck bass player with a wildman
drummer and a legendary guitarist, naming themselves after a Chicken's
foot.
The novelty quickly wore off though and the album and tour tanked.
You gotta admit it's kinda funny (and sad) that Hagar said this is the
best stuff he's written and this was going to be like Led Zeppelin and
11x bigger than Van Halen and they we're going to be a worldwide
hit... but then they cancel small venues, play 400 seaters and the
record hasn't even gone half-gold, being beaten by the failed Hagar
reunion openers, Shinedown.
I wonder how soon before he's back to being "stuck and stagnant" in
his tequila bar band desperately hyping another Van Hagar reunion?
I would say sooner than later...
LOL
