Interesting, thanks. A lot shorter than his usual concerts. Does anyone know why?

Hm, I see 22 (21) songs, so why shorter? New Orleans had 19 songs.

I think 21 is the normal length now since a few years.

Too bad they did not play Duncan. Why? The El Condor Pasa Intro was recognized by everyone and people loved it.

So I wonder what the setlist will be at the first REAL concert (not festival)
He said he will play 3 songs from his new album. Now he is down at 1.
I imagine he was very unhappy with the performance of "The Werwolf", but he really should give it a few more tries. If the sound is bad the audience will never like a new song.

BTW. I am surprised how much he altered the setlist just in between those 2 shows.
HE kicked out all the S&G hits, played at least 7 different songs.

Thanks! I said it was shorter because when I looked it was only 10 songs.

Just Wristband from the new album?? That feels a little disappointing, Paul's liner notes for Sranger to Stranger make it clear that most of the songs have been work in progress for quite a while now, i was hoping to see at least 3 or 4 of them make it into the setlist. Maybe they'll be introduced gradually as the tour progresses.....

Paul talks about the set list for the tour in this Rolling Stone article. Mention 3 songs from the album he hopes to play. Festivals with noisy crowds not the best venues to introduce new songs. Should be a couple more when he plays the theaters.

His voice in the live appearance lost some quality compared to the last shows. He can shake hands with Art :-). It's a pity that he does not play more songs from the upcoming album, which I can't understand since it was introduced as among his best albums ever. Maybe that's only a sales line.. anyhow nice that he's touring again, but I'm not sure whether I will visit his show again after 15 shows that I saw, since I agree with former forum posts that the renewal in his setlist is too low.

No his voice is fine Michiel.

You judge the musician, but it is the sound quality at those venues.

Well, I will listen again. I tried to listen through the bad venue sound quality to judge his singing quality, but I will give it another chance:-)
