It's not complaining to suggest a man who has been playing roughly the same setlist for 7 years now might want to change it a bit. Obviously, if you haven't gotten to see him during that time, you're not likely to mind the old setlist.

Personally, this is making me not feel so bad about getting shut out of most of the NY shows. Unless he really opens it up, I think I may be fine with one show.

Very cool to see Grey Room in there, though, and the unplugged Eskimo sounds fantastic.

I will be very disappointed if there is no band at his London gig. Ģ70 and no band?

As for not playing many new songs, I find the fact that he is touring before the album is released odd. Is it because the album was delayed in release but the venues were already booked?

Really surprised and disappointed by the set list. And no, not a whiny baby, but a fan that is tired of the old shtick that he has been doing for years and years.

Sorry to hear that your luck was as bad as mine in securing tix to the NYC shows. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a friend who will bring me to the Box on Sat. night, and I did get a pair in the mezz for the Apollo in the presale. I'm happy with those shows, but I do long for the days when I had no problem getting tix to see him.

Crazy how now we find bootlegs randomly posted on fb, no one does forums anymore!

Hi, anyone knows what the extra verses at the end of Accidental Babies was? I heard, "Do you have the courage to see me", and then "Am I too blind to let this go?" and then something else which I couldn't get at all.

As I can understand "old" fans who have followed Damien live for years I would really not complain about having Elephant and Accidental Babies the same night as they're my fav' songs but what I've loved about this Tour was the opportunity to discover songs live instead of audio so I'd be quite disappointed too if he won't play any of new songs at Paris even if it would be my first Damien's gig. Fingers crossed!
There are probably tons of reasons we don't know about why Damien doesn't play new songs as we could expect. I can't expect someone jumping back on stage with new materials that easy after a 8 years silence, it must be a lot of pressure.
