Frankfurt, October 29th

According to my memories it was a brillant concert and the
setlist was as mentioned before,

but Heart With No Companion was played after Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye
a minor remark and maybe I'm wrong ...

Adi,

The order in which "Heart With No Companion" and "Hey, that's no..." are played, changes a lot. They're sometimes separated by "Sisters Of Mercy", but not always.
Can someone tell for sure which is the exact order of these 2 songs?

I'll update my list tomorrow or so...

E Minor ... it is the key in which the song is played (or starts)

aficionado wrote: Also anyone has an idea of why Avalanche is or is not played ?

I am just guessing but if you look at some of the setlists posted in the forum which the band actually use, then there seems to be a bit of flexibility in the autumn tour in each show in terms of whether e.g. Avalanche is played, or The Partisan or both. Similarly, it seems there was a bit of flexibility in the encores regarding whether to play Sisters of Mercy or Famous Blue Raincoat, currently resolved it seems in favour of FBR!

Thanks Paul.

However on the 19th Oct they played Sisters of Mercy in the first set and FBR as encore !

just returned from Hamburg, drivig 100 min south by car. Set list was the same as in Frankfurt. As I was in Berlin in the beginning of october (and Lörrach in july) I was very pleased with The Partisan, which he did not do at the 2 other shows I saw. By the way, I was quite surprised, The Partisan got the biggest applause of all of the songs of the 1st and 2nd set, standing ovations, very long applause.So here´s the set list:

Hamburg, October 31st

1st Set
Dance me to the end of love
The Future
Ain't no cure for love
Bird on the wire
Everybody knows
In my secret life
Who by fire
Heart with no Companion
Hey, that's no way to say good bye
Anthem

2nd set
Tower of song
Suzanne
Gypsy wife
The Partisan
Boogie Street
Hallelujah
Democracy
I'm your man

1.Encore
So long, Marianne
First we take Manhattan
2.Encore
Famous Blue Raincoat
If it be your will
Closing time
3.Encore
I tried to leave you
Whither thou goest

GREAT concert

So they didn't play "Who By Fire"? That would be the first time this tour...

Maarten

Willy and Wijbe have "Who by fire" between "In my secret life" and "Hey, that's no way to say good bye"
