Jason Aldean Spends Hours On His Set List
Jason Aldean says he spends hours puzzling over his set list when he’s on tour and changes it when it doesn’t feel right.
“I sit down for hours and stack songs and move ’em around, almost like a puzzle, and try to figure out what works best. But until you get on stage and start playing the songs and feel energy here . . . or less energy here . . . it’s hard to tell.”
He’s several weeks into his Ride All Night Tour right now and still finds himself in the dressing room moving things around trying to put together the perfect show.
“[Maybe] you’re playing too many ballads . . . you can find of feel it on stage. There’s a bit of a lag. You have to work a little hard later in the show to get them back up and going . . . so if you can fix it so you never have that, it’s a good thing.”
