Page 56 of Book of Longing has the verses used in the recitation, page 57 the verses used in the song.

P.S. I will also try to capture this concert experience in a few words elsewhere, once I find some time - shortly I hope.

A ste list like that would be just PERFECT for Perth this saturday night....

Stavros,

Looks like your dream setlist will come through, because the list doesn't seem to change a lot down there. You can take a look here:

He sang Sisters of Mercy at the Melbourne concert on Thursday night, but I can't remember where exactly in the program or what song it replaced. Would have liked Closing Time to be included. Am going again on Tuesday, so will take more notice.

Thanks Dean - I was literally "working in the dark" when I did that setlist, using an old setlist for convenience!

It was also great to meet you - I love your enthusiasm, Dean: you're a legend in your own right!

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks to all who have posted set lists.

Anyone able to grab the set list for Swan Valley (Sandalford Wines)?

Set list was posted by Arthur under Summer Tour (it is summer in Australia!). Reference is here

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=13420

Mike

I think Artur's setlist is incomplete... It's missing songs like "Hey, that's...", "The Partisan", "Whither thou goest", "So Long Marianne" etc...
I can't believe he left all of those out.

Can anyone else post the setlist please?

Maarten

Although I wasn't there, by the look of what Arthur has posted I would assume that the Perth setlist was the same as Melbourne (5 Feb).
