Probably unlikely to be any major surprises in the setlist for the pre-Xmas gigs, but you never know...

I'm hoping Hold On, I'm Coming will stay in, as I'm sure I've always missed out on that one; pity he doesn't do Take Me To The River from TBSB too.

I'd like to see the return of What Goes On & Sign Of The Times (both were great in Paris), but I'm a sucker for stuff from the 1977 tour (Shame, Shame, Shame; All Night Operator; Love Me Madly Again; In Your Mind...) and have yet to hear This Is Tomorrow in person.

If BF wants to be sure to cover the hits, I'll happily take Hard Rain & The "In" Crowd again.

Anyone else attending with a secret wish list in mind?

As it's near to Xmas I would suggest a yuletide classic like 'have yourself a merry little Christmas'. It would be a Ferry first to perform an Xmas song as far as I know, but it was rumoured he was going to perform 'Silent Night' at the Pope's bash at the Vatican a while back, but if true, was dropped beforehand.

It would be nice if BF slipped a couple of requests into the set list, as a Christmas present to the fans. Personally, I'd like to hear:
Another Time, Another Place
I Thought
Windswept
Heartache By Numbers
Gemini Moon
Bete Noire
When She Walks In The Room

I would say:
- This is tomorrow
- Casanova
- This island earth
- When she walks in the room
- Sensation
- The chosen one
- Limbo
- Which way to turn
- Cruel
- San Simeon
- Tender is the night

I can think of more... ;-)

I don't reckon some songs sound too great live.He did Sensation at Live Aid and it didn't come off. Cruel,San Simeon,This Island Earth and The Chosen One are others that don't sound too good live in my opinion. But I would take them if it meant not hearing Slave ,My Only ,Heart Still Beating, Jealous Guy .Love is The Drug and any others that have been played to death !

Ferry solo hit singles that haven't been played for years are:

You Go To My Head
The Price Of Love
This Is Tomorrow
Windswept (This song is crying out for a piano/vocal version)
Is Your love Strong Enough? (never been done live)
The Right Stuff

Sympathy For the Devil would have been great earlier in the tour when they had 2 drummers.

I would love to hear Cruel again too and Shame Shame Shame was great live during the Frantic tour.

J.O'B.

A piano/vocal version of "Windswept" - what a fabulous idea.
As for "You Go To My Head", I'd love to see him go back to the drawing board with this one. He did such an amazing job with every track on "ATGB", I'm sure he'd do it differently today, particularly now he's got Colin Good onboard. For me, the action standard on this one is Billie Holiday.
Regards,
Windswept

He did record You go to my Head again during the As Time Goes By sessions.Different from his original recording.With any luck,he may release that one day.

What 'a turn out for the books' that would be 8-) It would be fab to hear stuff that's never been performed live, one day.

Don't think set list will change much but a christmas carol would go down a treat - agree 'Silent Night' would be perfect.
