Given the setlist tonight I have to say no, I don't know the next two! Ghostrider and 1969 is my best guess

Thanks a lot for the updates Po, sounds like a great show, or a great set at any rate

Still not sure if I believe it, but that's my best guess (:

Expected never land when Ben brought out the bass, lol. Glad i caught that yesterday!

At least tell us if he shouted TILLL THE BODYSSS GOOOOOOOOONE! The anticipation!!

Nice, @exxile

And, yeah, the final encore was as expected of course. No ghostrider! But this really was a top nite out!

So glad that I also travelled for the show yesterday. I had expected mostly the same setlist again, but this was great! And I still got Never Land (:

Upload faster!

It clearly has me sleep well to know that according videos are underway ... so no hurries from my part ... ... basic page is done, anyway ...

Now i'm jealous. It could be worst if they where played Flood2 or War on Drugs.

thanks a lot for romeo. always nice to see them soundchecking during the encore. new arrangement sounds already promising.
btw, really like the 12 string on Marian, but why is there still refusal to play the essential riffs of the refrain?
nevertheless, great tour.

Good lord I'm gonna say it, I really miss chris's romeo guitar parts. What was Dylan up to throughout that, exactly? Haha

I should add, for the sake of completeness and in a non-judgemental way, that Eldritch was not satisfied with the performance of Romeo Down. At the end he said: "Live music is difficult!", combined with a wink and a kind of shoulder shrug. Unfortunately, this is not on the recording. Just as he started, I pressed stop.
But that shows that something had disturbed him. Whether it was the mix, the sound, the guitar parts, himself or a mixture of several reasons remains open.

I was over judgemental this morning, they're all just doing their best really and i'm not surprised that the first performance in ages of a wildly theatrical and not at all by-the-books song was a little shakey, I am still glad they put it in.
It's a really tough one, I feel like it reached an unexpected peak in 2011, Chris whipped up some brutal ambience to prevent the thumping heartbeat of a bassline from even touching on the word stale, meanwhile Andrew really put meaning into the space between the words. Whilst we're at it ... The brilliance of the Doktors kickdrum playing in doubles near the first beats of each bar, like a loud heartbeat, gets me every time.

Excellent, cheers Ingo sounds like its psych-rock-imprecise-menacing usual self to me. I doubt 2 performances of it by Mr Whammy and Varjak or Starling sounded exactly the same, let alone any performances since 2006. One of its charms is its imprecision.

Loving the set shake-up that throws in 3 old classics, all from the 'live era' Sisters. Albums? Who needs albums?

bloody great recordings, thanks Ingo!!! very nice to have a shake up in the setlist

Ain't the Internet amazing. I'm listening to this 6000 miles away at sunset knee deep in the Indian Ocean and still it feels real. Sisters forever as someone around here says...

My girlfriend and I both heard 'different' and not 'difficult', not sure exactly what he meant.

It was a really fun gig, people danced more to the old stuff but I can't blame them I danced more to the old new stuff than the 2020 new new stuff.

Oh, that's possible of course. That would be a small but not unimportant difference. But why 'different' in this context? Different from what? There is no published studio version.
What do you understand at 04:10? When I want to, I hear an 'Aua'. That's German for 'Ouch'.

Okay, in real life it's quite unimportant what he actually said at these points. However, it would of course be interesting to know whether the version as heard was intended. But maybe we will find out tomorrow in Gothenburg.

It was really a fun gig, for me it was nearly perfect. One of the best of this tour, maybe the best!

...old new stuff and new new stuff...

Fuckin' love Romeo, I assume Eldritch realised he screwed up the lyrics
