I would have expected more songs than 17. Maybe 20 would have been better

It was more a festival than a Snow Patrol concert so 17 isn't terrible. They also didn't take to the stage until after 9 so I wouldnt be surprised if they were given the hurry up and ditched a song or 2.

Yes, being in a festival means not playing more than 18 for sure........ but they played 16 the other day in Amsterdam!! (The Lightning Strike was included though)

On the other hands, they sometimes pull off 25 songs, like in Dublin last year:

Yep, Dark Roman Wine was on the setlist but was ditched - they had to stop at 11pm.

Of all the songs they could have dropped.

One of the oldies, such a shame. They could have ditched other ones, DRW always features amazing vocals by Gary.

It's from Up to now, so the opposite of an "oldie". Beautiful song nevertheless.

Probably wouldn't have went down too well anyway. The crowds at those gigs are greatest hits crowds. Out of the 40 thousand last night i'd wager that 70% of them knew only the hits anyway. Watching the youtube videos, the majority seem to be content with talking and drinking.

Yes, I know it was released in Up To Now (I have the double CD album) but it was written much before, wasn't it? (I think )

A little shame. They indeed played 16 songs in Amsterdam. Rather short although it did include Lightning Strike.

Good to see they played The Planets in reworked form. From all the songs I wanted to hear, I missed that one in Amsterdam. Eagerly awaiting your broadcast Gerard.
