Setlists for all Pacific concerts

[dce]

As mentioned by someone in one of the other threads, Leonard played a slightly different set for the Sydney 29th show (to all the previous Aus shows). "Sisters of Mercy" was substituted for "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" in the first set and "Closing Time" replaced "Democracy" in the encores.

Also ... not sure if anyone else noticed, but last night's rendition of "I Tried To Leave You" was shortened -- Leonard skipped an entire verse. It looked to me like he was keen to wrap the show up -- maybe because his voice was starting to get a little strained (after two consecutive nights of performance).

Its was wonderful to hear 'sisters of mercy' in last nights set.

[s_s]

he did play "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye". one of the high-lights of the show.

[Irene Teresa]

yes he did.

Its probably said elsewhere but he also did closing time instead of democracy

im sick and may not make winery tomorrow. pray for me guys. thanks.

[canuck]

I'll third that -- Sisters Of Mercy was a wonderful addition. "Hey" was left in.

[MarieM]

Anyone remember than where Sisters Of Mercy was in the set list? I assume Hey, That's No Way retained its usual place.

Irene, I do hope you won't miss out. Get well very, very soon.

im sick and may not make winery tomorrow. pray for me guys. thanks.

Hi Irene Teresa,

I really hope you were able to make the winery concert and that you are feeling much much better. You've had quite a week and sometimes that lowers ones resistance.

Take care of yourself,
Diana

[Maarten]

Hello,

Can someone please confirm that the setlist of the second Sydney concert (Jan 29) included both "Hey, That's..." and "Sisters Of Mercy"?
And "Closing Time" and "Democracy" were both played, right?

So I guess he played the same set as the one Andrew posted above for the 31st show (thanks for that, Andrew).

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks,
Maarten

[Irene Teresa]

And last night I Got a setlist! yeh -

and one change last night was when he was due to recite thousand kisses deep the crowd was rather rowdy and he did democracy then ( i think?) then waited till a better moment to do the poem.

no big changes to the set overall . sisters of mercy again and closing time.




sorry I sound confusing.Ill give you one guess why .

[Wink]

Some changes in the set list at the Bowral Centenial Vinyards show last night.
Sisters Of Mercy and Closing Time were played.
But I'm not sure if they were as well as the previous set list or if he dropped some songs.
I think he played all the other songs on the set list as well.
Does anyone know for sure?

[flopearedmule]

I have been trying to work that out too, Wink. He definitely did Sisters of Mercy and Hey and Democracy and Closing Time. I wasn't taking notes but I really think all the other songs were played. I can't work out what was dropped, if anything.

[Irene Teresa]

I dont think anything was dropped.

Just to clear up any confusion as to the set lists for the two winery concerts LC played in the past couple of days. Both were actually the same song selection in the same order (although I think Irene is correct in saying that it did look as though the band was thinking about leaving Leonard to do his monologue straight after I'm Your Man, but after a short chat between LC and Roscoe, they launched into Democracy after all).

From my notes, here's the set list for the two winery shows:

As to why Leonard decided to play extra songs for these two concerts ... I can only speculate. But judging from his comments through both evenings, he seemed to think it was significant that people had driven so far to watch him play, so maybe he thought to reward us by playing a longer show.

[MarieM]

Thanks, dce. You don't know how much we obsessive record keepers appreciate these clarifications and updates. Thanks to all who go to the trouble of posting set lists. I know it isn't easy to write all these songs on your hand during the concert.
