WAM WAM WAM WAM WAM , keep the rest the same as he seems tobe warming up nicely now!
Asked Guy about it this morning and he has (so far) completely skipped to answer that question...
Would you expect something else. He never answers any setlist questions. If he does, he will get 25 a day.
He once did give the rehearselist for a tour when it was over. That’s the only time he did something like that. It was a few tours back. The only thing i remember from that is that they rehearsed The mans too strong but it was never performed live...
No did not expect anything, that's why i mentioned it was not SLQ but wishing him to tell why they seem to have skipped it. Playing in first show with amazing sound and then skip it, they must realise that fans are wondering.. i know he hates SLQ so no big deal...
Let's just hope it returns soon..
I thought that nothing could suprise me anymore in terms of irrational choices, but I have to say that dropping the (great, and well played with fresh new arrangement) opener after one night, to replace it with the worse song of the new album that is even worse than BB as an opener, is taking this to a whole new, unprecedented level.
Yes, totally agree, I hope they bring it back.. about NDT, fine put it in a different place in the set, but as opener? Big NO NO, the sax/trumpet featured very well in the Barcelona WAM. I was either hoping for this or WII as opener, seems were getting none of them except first night then
I think they have used good openers in most tours... Broken Bones was maybe the worst at 2015, but yes I also think it's better than NDT as opener this time around... How do they manage to choose such bad opening songs? Don't they know which songs are the most popular among fans? Probably, just don't give a damn
Would be so much better to kick the show off with WII/WAM, even B.R as in 2010
I thought Cannibals was a great opener too. Must have beem 2008, IIRC?
Yes that's right the 2008...KTGC Tour
