Pretty boring considering it's still early in the tour; usually they try new songs before settling on the set.  This time they aren't really doing anything with it.

Overall, i think its a pretty good set, with good mix of old-new brass-folkie-guitar. I am not sure about future changes. To be honest, i can´t imagine this 2.15h set being played until the very last show. I think that main changes will be drops of songs (Telegraph, Heart Full of Holes, etc).

Before first night, (and knowing the lack of surprieses in the previous tours) i was expecting something like:

1. Broken bones
2. Corned beef
3. Privateering
4. Father and son
5. Hill farmer blues
6. Romeo
7. Sonny liston
8. Bonaparte
9. Nobody does that
10. Postcards
11. Marbletown
12. On every street
13. Speedway

14. So far away
15. Going home

I am pleased by the new additions (Silvertown, Once Upon, Heart Full, Money) and the re-arrangements to old songs, but like others, i would like Trapper Man, One song at a time, etc.

I would love something like (not very far from actual setlist):

1. Why aye man
2. Back on the dancefloor (brass doing the female vocals part)
3. Once upon a time in the west
4. Romeo
6. One song at a time

7. Matchstick man
8. Bonaparte
9. Heart full of holes

11. Silvertown blues
12. Your lastest trick
13. On every street
14. Speedway
15. Telegraph

16. Money
17. Piper

18. Going (second encore)
And we have just one world...

Yes, I was there and it was amazing, except for Money For Nothing cowbell, Michael McGoldrick played it in not quite the band's tempo.

I've already seen some people complaining about the same thing, so hopefully it's something that will be improved upon down the line. For those who don't understand, you see, the cowbell is a type of instrument that is meant to be played perfectly, and I mean: perfectly. Because it cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, it floats over everything and if it has flaws, then the whole song is destroyed (for those who cares anyway). I hope this clears some things up, can't get away from complaining about stuff, so here you have it :lol

That's right, it ruins the song, but I think it can be fixed at the mix.
but I'm sure you didn't complain when Heart full of holes started right ?  ;)
If I realised that the chances were slim,
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

The cowbell is played on purpose to sound just after mCusker tambourine. I like it like that.

Yeah, no complaints at all. We got really great seats through Fair Admission, it was the third row in the middle — insane. Just half a meter from the first row, which is like 50€ more expensive. I like that!

Nobody Does That as an opener it was one spoiler I couldn't avoid, not the best opener of course, but hey. I guess it's good because it doesn't have ridiculous guitar solos right away. No Sultans is like a personal present for me, because you know how I hate this song.

All the new songs is the greatest thing in a while, that's the way you do it. It's was very touching to hear Mark saying goodbye before playing Matchstick Man, but I was hoping for the one man band situation. But as with an opener, he need some help from the musicians.

I know I just repeat everything that's been said already, so I'll stop now.
