David Gray

miralake:

Here's my dream setlist following DG's lead about playing Lost and Found songs...fun thread since we are all still clearly in DG Fantasyland since all this fabulous news broke on Monday.

Foundling

Silver Lining

The Light

Only the Wine

Who's Singing Now

Clean Pair of Eyes

Birds Without Wings

We're Not Right

Wisdom

Nos Da Cariad

Lately

Fixative

Forgetting

Lovers

Tidal Wave

Nemesis

Davey Jones' Locker

   Encore:

It Accumulates

Song to the Siren

The Rice

 

 

now THATS a terrific set list and what an encore.  if he does Siren the NY audience will perish because I will explode with joy...

LOL!

Will be interesting to see how many covers he brings to the tour

Oh no!! Don't explode with joy! That sounds extremely messy, but does leave quite a visual!! Ha ha. And fieryone...I'm the opposite. Living in the moment is much, much harder the older I get. Send your zen tips my way!!!

Ak11:

Sail Away is pretty obvious tho, because you put it as third or fourth song and you've instantly won the crowd over if you haven't already.

While i like the song, i reckon its usually better when played later on in the show ^^

Like encore or last song of main set

Ya, it really goes anywhere. David's started and ended shows with it and it works all kinds of ways. 

Btw, where are all the ANDAM requests? It's not my fav album, but the more quieter songs like Last Boat to America and December could be great with a new arrangement (or old..).

Yeah.. songs like Long Distance Call, Last Boat and December would be interesting to hear.

..I requested Easy Way To Cry

 and even though its not on my list (or on ANDAM for that fact), words cannot express how happy i'd be if Say Hello was played...

That song has grown into a new dimension

"Won't you take this spatula in your hand?"  Who could have ever imagined this line in a song. I love to sing along to The Rice!

I must admit, The Rice would be a real treat

I found myself singing this particular line over and over again last night...

Am listening to the limelight gig in 1999 - I am so pissed at myself for not including The Light on my list!

Now that would also be one awesome treat on this thing!

Haha dca, i know what you mean.. The Light is like one of my all time favs and i missed it out ... i think ive now realised that i'll probably be overwhelming happy with any setlist that comes together.

Let the Truth Sting also came to mind today.. The poetry within that song is just amazing!

nice one!

birds without wings??!!

and...... and.......... and....... lol!

this is what is driving me absolutely nuts with Ford as well - every time I get anywhere near 12 songs I find myself starting over haha!

at some point the calendar finally catches up and you just throw caution to the wind and it is what it is!!

David did birds for the itunes ep a few years back and it's a snorefest compared to the ACE version. If he can get that What Are You? anger back then yeah, sure.

The Light would be awesome!

Limelight also has Smile.. that would be cool as well.

I couldn't bring myself  to send a set list for fear of Forgetting something. I did, however, include Last Boat To America. Do you guys think that we won't be singing along as much since David said this would be more of a "listening" show?

"We may race and we may run, we'll not undo what has been done or change the moment when it's gone."

I think that will be the case.........as I think back to bare bones again for the most part you could have heard a pin drop.....if I recall it wasn't until pfm that people got on their feet

That's okay with me. I remember before the first DG show I went to, I was imagining how amazing it was going to be to hear him sing in person. I dreamed of sitting there being enveloped by the music. Surprise, the crowd was singing so loud it was hard to hear David. I have since seen how he loves to engage the crowd.
