1. Agree, Curse of the traveller from the old stuff would be great to hear on live.BLUEHOOD71 wrote:Reading the many different posts over the board you see mant fans have different ideas of which direction Chris should go next, what style of music he should do and should he do new stuff or old while on tour. This got me thinking if you could pick any 3 songs to hear live on he new tour what would they be? A very hard task I know so much good music over so many years however I would go for , Hired Gun, Curse of the traveller and The Hustler. Would love to hear what everyone else would like to hear
I agree with Mr. Blues, Curse of the Traveller is a great song, but in the end is a matter of taste with all his songs; the six songs he doesn't want to hear made Chris what he is today, and I happen to love them still.Mr_Blues wrote:

Then almost anything from Blue Guitars, but let´s throw two
2. Two Days Missing Down The Viper Room
3. Too Much Drinkin´
I would love to see gig with music from Blue Guitars only
Here´s six songs which I DON`T WANT TO hear
1. Josephine
2. On The Beach
3. The Road To Hell
4. Fool (If You Think It's Over)
5. Stainsby Girls
6. Let's Dance
I have heard these songs way too many times and I rather listen almost any new song rather than these.
I think all of the songs listed will be played but they will be changed from the original version. Chris has played these songs in the last three tours and each time there has been modifications to the song and each time it has sounded different. For example the version of Stainsby in the last tour was superb and it looked as though Chris enjoyed playing it. The concert at Bush Hall at the end of the month will probably be close to if not the set list for the tour.Mr_Blues wrote:BLUEHOOD71 wrote:

As Lilly says, some songs are very important to Chris professionally and personally. Stony Road and Easy Rider for example, both of which I love and will never tire of hearing live. But, I do agree that there are so many good songs that it would be nice to hear as a change from Josephine, Stainsby Girls and more recently, Julia. We all know how important his wife and daughters are to him but I think we are due a break from hearing the songs in concerts this tour.Mr_Blues wrote:1.

I like everyone else have my wish list Wired To The Moon being at the top, i thought you could not beat the start of a Chris rea concert when you started with Nothing To Fear but Changing Times beat that.

But you still go back for more??Now it´s like eating your british fish and chips, you [EDIT: Please don't use this word] sure know what you get and it sure gets boring in the long run.
Actually it seems that I ain´t gonna see next tour at all and if the set list has its core in the same old hitscookie wrote:But you still go back for more??Now it´s like eating your british fish and chips, you [EDIT: Please don't use this word] sure know what you get and it sure gets boring in the long run.
On the question of "wish list" firstly I can't imagine that Chris felt his next project was going to be a " Best of " album so I suspect somewhere along the line there has been a compromise. I therefore fully expect the playlist to be those tracks on the album with the single being one of them along with the usual standards of On The Beach, Josephine and Stainsby Girls included. But as has been said the Bush Hall gig will give us a better indication.
As they say though I am just happy to be there to listen to the master at work.

Oh yes, that would be great, but have you heard of an artist that changes his tracklist slightly for each new concert? I think it would be hard, and as far as I understand no-one really does it, although the fans would love it. Do you know if any of big artists change their playlist for every concert within a single tour?Mr_Blues wrote:From that kind of master piece it would be thrilling to build set list each night by changing 3-4 songs. Imagine the thrill of suprise, you would never know what to expect.
You're welcome Jan, wonderful that you were actually at that concert!Müfo wrote:@ Lily: Thanx a lot for uploading the Auberge- Video from Saarbrücken.

Does anybody know if ,,Still so far..." will be released as a physical single? Probably with some unreleased extra tracks?
