Title: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: RollPlymouthRock on September 13, 2011, 03:48:37 PM Great set by Brian and the band. Including Brian playing keyboard and strapping on a guitar! Also a bizarre incident were he got the audience to sing Mary had a little lamb. Very nice end to the show with love and mercy.

Also a bizarre incident were he got the audience to sing Mary had a little lamb. Very nice end to the show with love and mercy. Love And Mercy? In Gateshead and Glasgow they ended with All Summer Long. Hmm. By the way: it would be a nice closure to end with "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"... Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: MaxL on September 14, 2011, 07:40:10 AM Someone posted this setlist for the Manchester concert, does it sound accurate?
Set 1: Gershwin album Set 2: California Girls Dance, Dance, Dance Catch a Wave Surfer Girl "Mary Had A Little Lamb" In My Room Don't Worry Baby Do You Wanna Dance? Do It Again Darlin' All Summer Long Breakaway I Get Around Your Imagination Sail On, Sailor Pet Sounds Sloop John B Wouldn't It Be Nice God Only Knows Heroes and Villains Good Vibrations Encore: Johnny B. Goode Help Me, Rhonda Barbara Ann Surfin' USA Fun, Fun, Fun Encore 2: Love and Mercy "Your Imagination", "Break Away" and the return of "L&M"? Hope that stays around till the RFH shows! Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: RollPlymouthRock on September 14, 2011, 09:25:05 AM Yeah that setlist is right i was very surprised about Your Imagination when they started playing it i didn't recognise . Other vocalists Jeff on Don't Worry Baby and Wouldn't it be Nice, Darian on Darlin' and Scott on Sail On Sailor. Only criticism of the show was that there were too many up tempo songs i would have prefered some more slower ones like DTPYHOMS or Caroline No or IJWMFTT other than that a truly great set. Funny story the person i was with left after the first encore even though i'd said there would probably be two encores and ended up rushing back in half way through love & mercy.
Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: smile-holland on September 14, 2011, 02:06:31 PM The Gateshead and Glasgow setlists were almost identical, the only difference being Breakaway which was played in Glasgow but not in Gateshead.
Nice aditions in Manchester I see. Rather different compared to the setlists from Gateshead and Glasgow. (see: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,11057.msg212085.html#msg212085) Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: Zander on September 14, 2011, 02:47:24 PM I thought of the 10 or so Brian shows I've been to this was in the top 5. Good setlist, amazing sound / venue and the guy on the mixing board got a great balance of the whole band.
I thought Brian got better and better with each song he did and he appeared a lot more confident compared to the Bestival appearance a few days earlier. Only complaint - a pretty ropey selection of tour merchandise. They don't have programmes but they sell a "wine cooler" bag thing? Huh?! Favourite songs of the night - TLIILY, TCTTAFM, WIBN and YI. Great stuff Brian... ;D Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: Shady on September 14, 2011, 03:59:16 PM What a night in Manchester.
I never thought Dublin could be beat buy they did it Title: Re: Brian in Manchester 13th September Post by: smile-holland on September 15, 2011, 03:22:29 AM They don't have programmes but they sell a "wine cooler" bag thing? Huh?! Yep, that would've been my only complaint as well. The tour programes are usually well worth the buy. As for the wine cooler (with a drawing of giraffe on it): I assume they had some left after the BW/AJ Pet Sounds tour of a few years back...

The guy at BW Marketing must have been "thinking outside of the box" when he thought that the demand for this item would be a winner :-D |
