As you can see, the setlist is pretty much as in the Summer Tour; I underlined the things that were changed. I believe The Partisan was used instead of Boogie Street because Sharon Robinson was not there (!!); but we did get spoiled with Famous Blue Raincoat! (a more detailed story of how that happened will come-I hope-in the other thread)

Thanks for the prompt posting of the set list, Laura. And thanks for kicking off leg 2 so beautifully.

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the setlist! It's great to see "The Partisan" appear on the setlist for the first time this tour. And nice to hear you're starting to like it too...

So here we go again with my compilation of all the setlists into 1 document. I'll try to update this as soon as other setlists are posted. If anyone finds a mistake in any of the setlists: feel free to contact me!

You can find all the setlists here:

Keep posting setlists please.

Thanks and enjoy all the concerts!

W A R S A W (1st Oct 2008)

Hi! The setlist in Warsaw looked very much like that during Wroclaw gig - with one exception. 'Heart With No Companion' was in the first part of the show and I don't remember 'Bird on a Wire' this time. I can't be 100 percent sure - I hate to distract myself with making notes during concerts - but it's quite likely that the first part was like this:

1. Dance me to the end of love
2. The Future
3. Ain't no cure for love
4. Heart With No Companion
5. Everybody knows
6. In my secret life
7. Who by fire
8. Hey, that's no way to say good bye
9. Anthem

(...)

Can anyone confirm my *positions*?

Aha! So I was wrong, there WAS 'Bird on a wire'. Ok, my wife also says so.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Wojtek - remember, there are only two simple rules:

Rule 1: The Wife is always right
Rule 2: When The Wife is not right, see Rule 1.

The End (unfortunately)

Wow! Did He really play "The End"? I am sure it was wonderful...
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
