Variety reviewed Brandi Carlile's 19-date "Burn the Setlist" tour, in which audiences choose the songs at every show, and found it a moving exchange between performer and audience. Variety described it as likely the first all-requests tour by an artist of Carlile's stature, with Carlile and her bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth playing roughly 2 hours and 40 minutes from a catalog of close to a hundred original songs plus proven covers. The band prepared by rehearsing, and Carlile told fans she would call on requests from the back rows and decline any song she did not want to play. At the Nov. 7 show at the Fox Oakland, Carlile said any song the band had performed was fair game, but they would not attempt songs they had never played. Variety reported that the requests produced obscure picks and unexpectedly touching moments, and argued that the tour's success lies in the quieter moments between songs.
