All corrections are welcome!

Nice job! However, Hey, That's No Way... was not played in Saguenay's May 30th show, its debut was on May 31st. If It Be Your Will was only played the 31st also.

Hi Darling,
Thanks for the feedback and the corrections. I'll change this in my next update!

Take care,

Maarten,

The Montreal June 24th concert did not include Famous Blue Raincoat nor That Don't Make It Junk. These two songs were only played at the concert of the 23rd.

p.s. - I don't know why Famous Blue Raincoat has been dropped since then. It was extremely well received and the arrangement and performance were excellent - drums added a lot to the song, Neil played organ and very interesting piano passages, and the female vocalists sang a haunting "na, na, na-na-na" throughout the song behind the lead vocal. I thought is was incredible. I hope Leonard didn't somehow get the false impression it wasn't well received.

And here it is, the setlist from the concert in Lyon:

Dance Me To The End OF Love
The Future
Ain’t No Cure For Love
Bird On The Wire
Everybody Knows
In My Secret Life
Who By Fire?
Hey That’s No Way To Say Goodbye
Anthem

Tower Of Song

Boogie Street
Hallelujah
Democracy
I’m Your Man
Take This Waltz

Hello,

Another update of my stagelists file is available here:
http://users.telenet.be/maarten.massa/d ... s_2008.pdf

Changes since the last update:
- Montreal June 24: deleted "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "That don't..." (thank you Steve!)
- Saguenay May 30: deleted "Hey That's No Way..." and "If It Be Your Will" (thank you Darling)
- Whither Thou Goest: I changed the "Recitation By All" into "tutti a cappella". Martin B. convinced my to do so by this explanation: "A comment about Whither Thou Goest: you write "(recitation by all)". While A Thousand Kisses Deep is recited, Whither Thou Goest is not. It is sung in harmony by the whole band. With a musical term you would say tutti a cappella, here it maybe makes more sense to write "(whole ensemble a cappella)"" (thank you Martin)


Keep on sending in stagelists and keep checking for mistakes aswell!

Finally:
I'm going to include the band members aswell.
Anyone who can give some nicknames for the band like Leonard (mostly) does:
- Our Timekeeper Rafael Gayol
- Our Musical Director Roscoe Beck
- The Sublime Webb Sisters
- The Impeccable Neil Larsen
- ??? Bob Metzger
- ??? Sharon Robinson
- ??? Javier Mas
- ??? Dino Soldo

In Lyon on Wednesday evening (great concert, one of the best times of my entire life!), Leonard introduced several times Sharon Robinson as "My collaborator".
I think that Dino Soldo is the "master of breath", or something approaching.

I'm astonished! Surely, I've merged two nights's setlists . I've checked, though, and the dates are there... and the different ink, as well. Leonard's generousity is astounding.
