So this was the shortest show so far..with 21 (or 22 songs)
I really hope Vietnam/M&C reunion will be played at most shows (and at the concert I see, that is one of my favourite combinations on that tour)

Thanks for the setlist!

Yikes...let´s hope this is anomaly! And I think it is. Maybe extra short because of Easter the next day, or someone in the band isn´t feeling real well...who knows? We´ve got three days in a row in California coming up, and then a couple in Minnesota before I get to see him at the two gigs in Toronto (which is pretty much midstream for the North American leg of the tour & then I see him again at the end in Boston for two- nice symmetry schedule wise)...and he´ll be well rested for those shows, after some time off, so I´m expecting him to get back up to around 26 songs or so.

I admit I do not know anything about us-war history and their special ´days´, but could it be that Paul did not want to play the song Vietname because of some special event? I found this one for example:

Whatever, he could have played another song instead...

I don´t think that had anything to do with it. I´m American and I´ve never heard of that holiday.

Our war day is an all inclusive "Memorial Day" which is celebrated at the end of May.

Yes, no "Vietnam" either. No "Darling Lorraine", no "Father And Daughter".....

Only thing I can think of is that maybe he wanted to fly home after the show to be w his family for Easter.

Then again, he is Jewish.

Jewish? Only on the paper

While he may not be an active participant with many Jewish observances, it is still part of his DNA, and he is acutely aware of that.

Yeah, let´s hope he will stick to setlists of 25-26 songs.

Thank you all for a nice informative thread - good idea to make this one a sticky, Bodo...

And BTW, hi all! ;-) I used to be quite active here, and some of the veterans may remember me. The last couple of years I´ve been rather passive (something to do with my 2 years Old son, perhaps?) but I always checked in at least once a week to keep up to date.

Nice to see many old and new faces here - and so nice to see Paul touring with a new album again!

Bodo (and Scaaty), I´m going to Dublin, and would definitely like to meet up.

Hi Soren, of course, we should definately meet in Dublin!

When will you arrive and how long will you stay there?

Review from Davies Symphony Hall 25 April 2011. Paul had a slight problem with his voice.

The reviews have been outstanding for his concerts. What a great time our Paul must be having.
