Hi wendy
I hope you enjoy .It won't be a late night .The manchester concert was over by 9.20 - but it started on time at 7.30 with no support and no intermission. Quite a few people seemed to arrive late - perhaps they thought there would be a support act !
It was a great relief when from the start it was apparent his voice is in very good shape. When his vocal problems began ,and given his age i would not have imagined such a recovery was possible! It's also good that he's given up 'the wig' and seems happy to ' come out' as being ' follicly challenged'.
There are several audio recordings on my you tube channel- conenadmirer1. A very strict ' no photo' policy was in place !
This very fair blog gives a good account.

As far as i can remember the setlist was
And So It Goes
April Come She Will
The Boxer
Perfect Moment
A Heart in New York
All I Know
A Poem on the Underground Wall
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
The Side of a Hill (paul simons anti war song which sadly is ever appropriate)
Bright Eyes
Real Emotional Girl
Homeward Bound
99 Miles From L.A.
Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)
(Antonio Carlos Jobim cover)
For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her
The Sound of Silence
Kathy's Song
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Plenty of prose poetry reading between songs and a Q&A session at the end (house lights up , audience invited to put up their hands to ask any questions - a brave thing for an artist to do!) --worked well IMHO (though im sure many would have just wanted more songs)
