[Victor Ian Skies]

Johan, I think yours is probably not far off, considering what he performed at the Jimmy Kimmel mini-concert last month. That said, I don't think he'll do 10 songs from YOR. I DO think at least one or two songs from ROT will make the list 'You Have Killed Me' perhaps? And with the Maladjusted re-issue due this year, I think it's VERY likely something like 'Alma Matters' or another track from that record will make the setlist. I am also holding out hope for another 'Queen is Dead' track to be dusted off. 'I Know it's Over' would just be the ultimate, though I'd love to hear Cemetry Gates or the title track as well.

So, here's is my predicted (complete guess of a) setlist:

Suedehead
Something is Squeezing My Skull
I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
This Charming Man
Black Cloud
That's How People Grow Up
Half a Person
Reader Meet Author
You Have Killed Me
All You Need is Me
Seasick Yet Still Docked
Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
Girlfriend in a Coma
Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself
The World is Full of Crashing Bores
Alma Matters
I'm Ok by Myself
That Joke isn't Funny Anymore

One Day Goodbye will Be Farewell
How Soon is Now?

First of the Gang to Die
I Know it's Over



Anyway, whatever he selects, I think we're all in for a great tour. Counting the days until Philadelphia...

How Soon Is Now?

Reckon that will be very near the setlist, I would say it will also include I Keep Mine Hidden and First of the Gang To Die, no Girlfriend In A Coma and probably Trouble Loves Me from Maladjusted instead of Alma Matters.

Reel Around the Fountain
You've Got Everything Now
Miserable Lie
Pretty Girls Make Graves
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Still Ill

What Difference Does It Make?

Hmm, I can't see Trouble Loves Me happening. It was played quite a bit during 2006. I reckon Alma Matters is the most likely to appear from Maladjusted.

Love PTxx.

[Richard]

I have a feeling he might dust off 'Satan Rejected My Soul'.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

You don't think a cover version might be in there somewhere? He's done Redondo Beach, Human Being and A Song From Under The Floorboards on past tours.

 

[FDR]

Probably exactly the same as the BBC show.

 

[bored]

I think he will play everything from the radio 2 show which is:

Something Is Squeezing My Skull / Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed / Black Cloud / This Charming Man / I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris / Best Friend On The Payroll / That's How People Grow Up / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself? / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell / Reader Meet Author / Seasick, Yet Still Docked / I Keep Mine Hidden / I'm OK By Myself

And I think he will add in the following:

Carol
Not Your Birthday
Speedway
Boxers
You Have Killed Me
I Know It's Over
Unhappy Birthday
You've Got Everything Now

22 songs total.

This is not a wish list. I don't really like Birthday or Boxers. I'm tired of the ROTT songs other than Pigsty.

I see a song like Speedway replacing IBEH as a possible encore.

I think the two birthday songs together is interesting.

He tends to like to play a lot of singles so I'm thinking instead of Unhappy Birthday there is a chance for I Started Something... or even more Girlfriend In A Coma.

If I didn't have the radio 2 show to go off of I would have never speculated on TCM, I Keep Mine Hidden or Find out for Yourself

A very optimistic one.

That's not overly optimistic.
4 Smiths songs so nothing crazy there.

The only song on here that I really think is not going to happen is America. The next longshot on here for me is actually Nobody Loves Us. This is one of my favourite songs but he got lukewarm response to it in 97. Maybe with it being re-released and has been on a compilation since then it will be there but I just don't think so.

With Smiths songs he has played so many that I never thought he'd play that I cannot say that Girl Afraid and Handsome Devil are not realistic. He played I Keep Mine Hidden. How can you rule out anything after that? I think the only 3 that won't be played are Draize Train, Money Changes Everything and Oscillate Wildly.

 

[Drew a swallow]

^ I Agree that he'll play everything he did at the Radio two gig.

Plus these three from Refusal -

It's Not Your Birthday Anymore (sadly!)
Sorry Doesn't Help
Carol

Four hunches -

Irish Blood
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Billy Budd
Tomorrow

 

[wemissumoz]

As noted elsewhere, I'll be very surprised if Carol is played at all on this tour. I hope it is, but I doubt it.

[bored]

As noted elsewhere, I'll be very surprised if Carol is played at all on this tour. I hope it is, but I doubt it.

I think the song is just too good for him not to play. Most people like the song. I think the band would probably have a lot of fun playing it.

If he doesn't play it tonight, I won't assume that it is not going to be played the entire tour. The set list will have changes and I think this song will show up.
