Setlist Verona

[Tenniru]

There are more changes I'd make to that setlist than I can count on two hands. In fact, I'd have to rework the whole thing until we have:

SET 1

1. Radio Waves
2. Happiest Days Of Our Lives (KAOS arrangement with piano solo)
3. ABITW II (KAOS arrangement with no instruments in first few words)
4. Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert/Southampton Docks (Rog ALONE)
5. Sunset Strip
6. In The Flesh? (Fast)
7. Pigs (Two Diffirent Ones, remove Whitehouse and solos; segue from ITF)
8. Wish You Were Here (KAOS arrangement, plus segue from Pigs)
9. Every Stranger's Eyes
10. What God Wants (pt. 1)
11. Towers Of Faith
12. Set The Controls (Present arrangement)
13. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
14. Calls To The Hall (you heard me)

SET 2
1. Speak To Me/Breathe
2. Perfect Sense (pt. 1)
3. The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking
4. Dark Globe (Dave and Rick can't be the only Syd tributes; TML vocals)
5. The Fletcher Memorial Home
6. Perfect Sense (pt. 2)
7. Sea Shell And Stone/A Gentle Breeze Blew Through Life/Breathe
8. Lost Boys Calling
9. Hey You
10. The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range
11. Each Small Candle (or Two Suns In The Sunset; depends on mood)
12. Amused To Death

ENCORES
1. The Tide Is Turning (get the crowd to sing along, Hey Jude-style)
2. Brain Damage
3. Eclipse


There. A selection of very good songs, representing Floyd and his solo years, and he can sing all of it in a very non-painful-to-self-or-others voice.

[J Ed]

he should be doing To Kill A Child, Each Small Candle, and Flickering Flame
as well as Leaving Beirut
The Gunners Dream has the keyline "noone kills the children anymore", so To Kill A Child is a thematic sequel
all his new songs, and maybe a special guest appearance by Marianne Faithfull to sing "Flower Child"
as well of course songs from all his postFinal Cut albums
we dont need any Dark Side, let alone a complete Dark Side (well maybe Money just to satiate the amateurs in the audience)
dont need any Wish You Were Here, no Wall apart from Bring The Boys..., which has obvious political significance for him at this point in history
really only need to keep the muchliked Set The Controls and the rarely heard Sheep from the 70s repertoire
all the rest, why? it sounds precisely like the albums, completely redundant, the creepy whispering choking vocals on Have A Cigar are the only deviation

a repetoir based on mature Roger songs rather than vintage70s radiohits would resolve much of the complaints about the limitations of his voice

attn Filthyfish: if you really are a handshake away from our cantankerous hero, please pass along these setlist suggestions from his real fans

[Freddie Mercury]

Wow I'd love to see Radio Waves actually. I wonder how Four Minutes with the creepy film would work these days.

I don't really care about most of Dark Side too much either...but BD/Eclipse are my favorite songs and they have that great ending vibe....

Why on earth has he dropped The Gunner's Dream from his setlist??
