Any played at this year's gigs yet?

nope but he's mostly doing festivals and playing greatest hits... he's barely played any rare songs

the rarest one he's played was Stoic at Vega cos everyone requested it...

Yeah, I saw that one last month. Disappointing that he's resting on the same basic set list so much given how many fans will go and see multiple gigs. The unpredictability used to be a big highlight of his old shows for me. We're coming up on 2 years since the last record came out so hopefully he's got a bunch of new tunes kicking around all ready to be played. Guess it's up to you guys to keep yelling requests out to try and nudge him out of his comfort zone! If you do maybe you could call out "Rule No. 2", "Didn't Take Long" or "No One Need Know", "WDYKAL?" etc. for me...

I've been dying to hear no one need know. Or what if I'm wrong.

the problem is that this summer tour is mostly festivals, in some cases he's not even headliner so he plays 45 min-1 hr, and he's paid to perform the biggest hits, so no time for rarities or newies or anything... and when he asked for requests from the audience people ask for Delicate

only time he's played rarities was at the gigs that were proper gigs no festivals (Lille Vega in KBH, Cirkus in Stockholm)

we were trying to shout for No One Need Know the other day at Helsingborg but he didn't hear it

but the unpredictability of the old days is gone, for the last 2/3 years he has a core of songs he always plays and mostly he shuffles them around
