Originally posted by ap5:Decent setlist - I give them a lot of credit for skipping JT and banging out Acrobat(!!), Ocean and Wild Horses. As a die hard I’d happily skip the Elevation/Vertigo repeats but I get their thought process when JT is entirely skipped. Casual fans (the majority at the show) need the stand-by radio tunes.
My hope is once they get to Europe American Soul gets punted for Red Flag or even Summer of Love - maybe strikes as more topical for the EU audience.
I know that they aren't doing many shows in Canada which is a shame but Red Flag Day and Summer Of Love also fit better with our issues regarding refugees as well. In fact, the boy who washed up on the shore died while being smuggled out of the country. His aunt, who lives in Canada gave the family the money to pay the smugglers. On top of that, there has been a lot od debate and fake news in Canada about accepting refugees.
