| I posted the setlist at the tour page.
Here a small review, which I also posted at amps, will post more later at the tour page.
Amos Lee was a nice Surprise, Gillian Welch and partner David Rawlings
were fantastic, Olu Dara very good and humoristic, Josh Groban was
very good, together with Paul on BOTW fantastic, The Roches were nice,
especially at Cecilia, The Grizzly Bears were different, had some
problems with their equipment.
The Band was fantastic as always, Rob Schwimmer was also there.

| Interesting, all of the songs Paul sang on, except American Tune, were done on the last tour. I was hoping that he would rework some other older songs into this performance as a try out for the tour. |

| Yes, especially with the voices of the Roches, also providing background vocals to Only Living Boy.
Noticeable to, Silent Eyes is covered. Cries out for official CD release. |

Then Grizzly Bears sang Graceland & Mother&Child. Olu Dara sang Slip Sliding & Crazy. Josh Groban sang America & Slient Eyes. He and Paul sang BOTW. Amos Lee sang Peace & Nobody & Homeward Bound. Then Gillian Welch & David sang Gone at Last & Duncan(?) & Paul came in and sort of played guitar during Boxer with them. Then Paul & Gillian sang SOS. Paul & band closed with Julio, Train & How Can You live NE. They came back for Only Living Boy & Late in Evening |

| Yes he definitely did Train In The Distance - it is on the Tower recording from Philidelphia and I heard him sing it at the NEC on the UK leg of the 2006 Tour. I reckon he did it at all the other dates too. |

| I enjoyed the BAM show and had great seats. I was surprised by how many songs PS played on, which was good. I wasn´t overwhelmed by some of the performers. The Roches, Groban and Amos were excellent; some of the others, I found not so excellent.
The BAM security people thought I was taping the show (I was trying to take pictures because I was in the sixth row dead center.) and they were really rude. That detracted from the show a bit. And my photos didn´t come out too good, either. But overall, it was worth the trip for me. |

| I really never understood why it is such a problem to take pictures.
It can´t be Paul who said that, because in London it was allowed to take pictures - with small cameras.
What is their problem? No one is able to sell these pictures today, as thousands of people can make pictures of everything.

| I expect it´s because no one wants
to have flashes in their eyes during
the whole show, I see this is coming
up everywhere, no photos or video
and really the ones I took were
worthless even in the 4th row at
some concerts. |
