Re: A new Tour "last open Road

Hi all,
the "BZ" writes rubbish - as usually.
Setlist was:
The Last Open Road
Long Gone
Where the Blues Come From
Josephine
Easy Rider
'Til the Morning Sun Shines on My Love and Me
Julia
Looking for the Summer
Stony Road
Come So Far, Yet Still So Far to Go
Somewhere Between Highway 61 & 49
Stainsby Girls
The Road To Hell
Encore:
On the Beach
Let's Dance
So no surprises - the same setlist as last time - except in 2012 he added "It's All Gone" to my surprise and delight.
The background singers were fairly good - I liked this. At least one innovation. I think back in '93 there were also background singers but this time you could him them much better. They really added some new flavour to the songs.
The band was good as always - but in a kind of "autoplay" mode, they seemed to be a bit tired...
Chris' playing and singing was ok - not bad - just ok.
The overall sound was good - I think a second keyboard player like in the old days would have been better.
It was not a bad concert but I'm a bit p*ssed off because of Chris playing the same setlist all over again. Is it that difficult to play some other of his 300+ songs?
In the end it is disappointing for the die-hard fans because of this boring selection - and also for casual concertgoers who expected some more old songs from his repertoire - as it was supposed to be a "Best Of" tour...
