Change of Set List for Fall Tour

Post by Dancing_Whiteman »

Guys

any thoughts / rumours (or, I guess, hopes / requests) for a change of featured songs / set pieces and running order for the Fall appearances?

I have seent the Great Man twice on the Summer tour now and have (original night!) O2 tickets...so it's not a cry that you hear tonight, just speculation!!

Don't care if he sings the same again in autumn, I'm just glad that the autumn concert I'll see will be indoors. Seen two outdoors ones this summer - one was feezing cold & rainy and the other so hot & crowded that I almost fainted. They were great concerts though nonetheless :D

But if I could have it my way, LC would include any of these:
Diamonds in the Mine
Waining for the Miracle
Tonight will be fine
Famous Blue Raincoat
I can't forget
Light as the Breeze
That don't make it junk
Singer must die
Lover Lover Lover
something from DOALM and Dear Heather

Be For Real. The Window. The Traitor. Nightingale. Agree with I Can't Forget. Waiting for the Miracle, That Don't Make It Junk and Famous Blue Raincoat (and also Heart With No Companion which I like) were among the encores at some concerts already, but I wasn't lucky enough to hear them. I'm not sure which of the ones I did hear I would have sacrificed for them.
The setlist is already good the way it is, and if we're lucky, we are going to hear some brand new songs.
Chances for a wishlist like these to be considered are slim, I guess :)

i am not going to see him on that date, but my dad will, and he's loved cohen since i don't know when (attended a concert at the age of 16 some time in the seventies) and last year's man is his favorite...

I think Joan Of Arc is certain to appear on the setlist. Duet with Sharon? Or maybe one of the Webb sisters?

It looks like Christine Wu will be playing violin. It says on her website:

"Please visit http://www.LeonardCohen.com for 2008 tour dates"

It's here:
