Several setlist surprises were in store for those who attended Queens of the Stone Age‘s “The Catacombs Tour” beginning on October 02 in Chicago, IL. One of them is the live premiere of a brand-new song called “Easy Street“, as reported by theprp. You may watch fan-shot video of that below. Other highlights included a Them Crooked Vultures cover being performed live for the first time and other songs being revived for the first time in years, including the first rendition of “Mosquito Song” since 2007. Given the nature of the tour, the opening segment naturally featured a set inspired by the alternative rock band’s minimalist performance that was recorded at the Catacombs of Paris in Paris, France, in July 2024. The “Alive In The Catacombs” EP, which was released earlier this year, featured that one-of-a-kind Parisian performance. In Chicago, it was mirrored onstage.
