Due to Josh’s conversion to Christianity and past stance on particular “non-christian” themes in a select few pre-1999 songs, many fans wondered what sort of setlist would be played at the Popes reunion show. In a Q and A on the band’s website, Josh responded to such questions saying, “No. There are only a couple songs that we wouldn’t consider playing, and those are songs we didn’t used to play very often anyway, so no one will miss them. We’ve been practicing through most of the old Popes catalog, trying to pick the songs that are the strongest. And we don’t yet know what the final song selection will be, but I don’t think people will be disappointed. All the real favorites should be there.” In that show – recorded on a DVD called At Metro , bundled with a CD of the performance – Josh, Matt and Eli were happy and energized. Eli remarked that he hadn’t had that much fun in seven years.
