SET LIST OF THE FALL 2009 TOUR IN USA

[Maarten]

Hello,

I'm keeping a document with ALL setlists of the tour. Please post the exact setlist here if you have been to a concert, so I can update my file. Also write down the date and venue! (and check my file for mistakes in the content and the actual setlist page).

HINT: print out one of the most recent setlists so you can easily edit/write the setlist on the printed paper!

My pdf-file can be found here:

Thanks in advance and enjoy the concerts!

Hi Maarten,
I will definitely try to do just this for Atlanta.
I've printed one of your lists to help me...

I recomposed the encore selections afterward. I could possibly have missed a song there. I was just having too much fun to mess around with my index card & pencil at that point.

[Maarten]

Thank you very much, JSA!

I'm a seasoned setlist keeper (having done so since having some band called the Grateful Dead followed me around for years) still holding onto my little scribble folds of paper from concerts of Lou Reed to Wovenhand. But however compulsive I am about this, I think sitting front row for Mr. Cohen, I might force myself to refrain from this. Then again, I don't leave the house unarmed (a pen being mightier than any other weaponry), so it might happen nonetheless.

-16 nights remaining until Durham.

Indeed it was. Your list looks spot on to me, thank you so much. We were in the club seats with unlimited Newcastle on tap, in no condition to take notes. Thank you so much.

Can someone comment on any glaring differences in our list from the overseas lists?

Most notably (at least for me!) he performed "Avalanche" in Montreal way back at the start of the tour and in the most recent leg, "Lover, Lover, Lover." It would be amazing if he put those two songs back in the set for the upcoming shows.

[ladydi]

Oh yes...I've been waiting patiently (all these concerts!) for Avalanche! It appeared in several European concerts last year but now it never seems to be included as possible alternates. There is always 2010!

[yaniv297]

seems like the usual setlist. I wondered whether he'll play more stuff in this leg, like some of the possibilities on the setlist (One of us cannot be wrong? please?).

[MaryB]

Oh how I desperately wish Lover, Lover, Lover goes back in the setlist!!!!!

[Brysburg]

Leonard's concert in Tampa was exquisite. If my memory serves, the setlist was identical to the one for the Ft. Lauderdale concert with the exception that in Tampa Leonard performed Chelsea Hotel in lieu of (and in the same position as) Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye.

[goaskaliceok]

MaryB,
Leonard did not do Lover, Lover, Lover tonight in Atlanta.
Amazing concert!
and yes, I have the setlist/stagelist!
Will try to post tomorrow!

But there is nothing I can say that other forum members have not already said!

[Maarten]

Thanks for the setlist! By "Blessings", do you mean the four Priestly Blessings? So they did not do "Whither Thou Goest", right?

*** Edit: you just answered my question in the concert report thread! Thx ***

I'll upload a new pdf soon!
