Concert #2: 2010-04-09 - Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver, Canada (Spoilers)

[Justme]

Setlist was: minus Prairie Wedding, plus Night in summer long ago, plus boneparte
And the screen apparently displays a very special camera..anyone mind when i tell y'all?

Tell me... Guitarcam you mean? I read that in Isaacs blog...

Oh yes, a Guitarcam seems to be a really great idea. And in my view it is a sign that MK his really caring about the visitors of his shows. The same thing applies IMO for the setlist change and the whole trouble about that. MK wants to play songs that he is passionate about and likes to arrange a mixture that fits together as well as a certain dramaturgy. You can't please them all so he likes do decide on his own what to play. And I really like the fact, that the other band members are a part of the process and can suggest songs.
I'd never thought in 2008, that HFB is such a great live track and so the new additions to the setlist won't be disappointing, I suppose.


EDIT: Typo  in: You can't please them all...

Can someone please post the setlist with all the songs in the right order as in the thread for the 1st concert ?

Hello stefankock, maybe you'll find what you are looking for over there: http://mkblogg.mknorge.com/

Thanks for the link .. that's exactly what I was looking for

I don't like the change, prairiewedding was a little more original. I am done with Bonaparte  
But I do like the addition of A night in Summer! My fave album GH is in the setlist now  

[Mossguitar]

Ha, ha: "I don't like the change..." And all this talk about fans wanting the set lists to change. It's really impossible to please MK's fans. 

[ingridswing]

I know Mossguitar but you must admit that Prairiewedding is muc more original than Bonaparte

[Mossguitar]

Let's swap Speedway and Telegraph with Quality Shoe and Fare Thee Wll Northumberland
and then the setlist is perfect

No!!! He can't swap his two best live songs with one of his least good songs (QS). Fare The well, though, I would have wanted to hear.

[Love Expresso]

I can't believe they play Done With Bonaparte again. What is it that MK has with this song? Of course it is a great song, but played a bazillion times -
don't get me wrong, the set list is really nice, I am looking forward to the shows. But Prairie Wedding was always a favourite of mine, and it would have
been nice if it would be played more often. I just imagine the situation after the first show:


MK: "Somehow it didn't work for me after "Prairie"...
GF: "So we should maybe change a thing there..."
MK: "Yes, maybe we should. any suggestions?"
Band: "Portobello! Tunnel of Love! WHERE DO YOU THING YOU'RE GOING..."
PC: "I would like Silvertown Blues..."
MK: "Hmmm Hmmm...(thinking looooong and carefully....)

---


Then:

MK: "I have an idea folks. How about "DONE WITH BONAPARTE?"

Band: "Great....."




Maybe not.

Of course

You're on to something... maybe not as you described it, but I get the feeling that DWB is MK's "safe choice"... whenever there's something that seems wrong then Bonaparte gets tossed in because it's well known (and well played) by the band.

Instead of exploring what "new ground" may feel like, apparently MK backs away and takes the easy way out...

And with adding Bonaparte once more you could have seen any STP/SL show, been in a coma for some years and when you're going this year, it's almost the same.

Safety - not the funniest option

Yes, because during those tours he played Border riever, Cleaning my gun, Marbletown, Rememberence day, Hillfarmers blues, coyote, piper to the end and Prairie Wedding at every concert. Sorry border_riever, I know you are unhappy with something, but this doesn't make sense.

On the contrary, I'm very very satisfied with the setlist. But as you said earlier, it's very difficult to please all MK fans. In the Seattle post I just pointed out that the core remains the same and has been over the past years.

DWB is one of those in the base, but could easily get replaced with for example Portobello Belle, using the same settings.

Those tracks you're mentioning are fresh and highly welcome. I'm just reflecting about the choices... Wouldn't it be nice if MK put The man's too strong or Portobello Belle (or similar that has been either rehearsed or played since the solo tours began in -96) instead of DWB, for just once?

edit: duly note the "almost" in "almost the same"

OK, I agree with you on that. I just got fed up with all the negativeness. (Not only from you) Sorry.

[Tally]

Remember that OES was on the list for the RPD tour (with the pedal steel, which MK apparently finds must used in that song), and Man's Too Strong was rehearsed in 2008. I would love to hear both of those songs, and it's nice that he considered them. But what about playing?

After all, must of us only visit one or a couple of shows, but I want setlists changing because then we have more recent live versions of different songs to listen to forever and ever on bootleg.

[Love Expresso]

I don't think there is much negativeness in these threads, quite the contrary! When a set is mentioned, it is normal that everybody shouts "Ah, Oh, why
not this or that..." But I think it is a good atmosphere all in all. 44 replies and more than 400 views from this morning is great I think! The forum is really
buzzing at the moment, because it is touring time! I like that very much and missed it during 2008 in that other forum...
