His leaked set list for the russian shows (which lets be honest will be similar to all the other shows he is doing) has been released on fleeting glimpse. It includes sheep, one question: how is roger going to sing that? i cant imagine how that song could possibly be done live

He'll probably fake it like he did on In the Flesh with Every strangers' Eyes

Damn Roger, that was an insult!

How do you mean fake it?

Fake as in botox?

He plays 30 seconds of vocals from a DAT and you take it as a personal insult?

He doesn't like the DAT format. He thinks mini discs are better. That's why he take it as an insult.

Here's the full setlist (supposedly from the promoters of the Moscow show):

Happiest Days, Another Brick In The Wall, Mother, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar, Wish You Were Here, Gunner's Dream, Southampton Dock, Fletcher Memorial Home, Perfect Sense, Leaving Beirut, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Sheep, Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us And Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse, In The Flesh, Vera, Bring The Boys Back Home, Comfortably Numb

It's going to be very interesting indeed to see how he pulls it all off. "So we left Beirut, Willa and I..."

If this is what he's going to play, I'm a little bit dissapointed that he doesn't play more songs from his solo albums. And where is "Each Small Candle"? But it will exciting to see how he will perform "Dark Side of the Moon". I think he has been good to make new arrengements of old songs on his solo tours.

Well, it's not really a solo tour in the traditional sense: even the tickets are branded with "Dark Side of the Moon", so people are going to expect a LOT of Floyd material. I really think Roger wishes he could be playing this work with his old bandmates, and so far he's succeeded in getting Nick back for a handful of dates. It's going to be worth watching, if nothing else.

I admit it could sound a bit weird, played out of context like that... but then, I have no idea how "Leaving Beirut" will play in front of a big crowd like Rock in Rio. Well, he's certainly being bold, and not sticking to the fan favourites, unlike a certain fat old guitarist I could mention.

Of course it will be great. But I'm a big fan of "Amused to Death" and would like him to play more songs from that album.

I'm looking forward to Roger's concert in Oslo, even if I have to kill or pay more than 150 dollars to get a ticket.

I hate when these discussions always goes into a David vs. Roger argument, because I'm a big fan of both of them. (Unlike many members of APFFN... )

I agree what you say about Roger, but I think you're unfair to David. A man who uses (almost on his recent gigs) all of the first half to play songs from a completely new and for many unknown album, and performs songs like "Whots...Uh the Deal", "Coming Back to Life", "Dominoes" and "Wearing the Inside Out", isn't only "sticking to the fan favourites". And he doesn't perform "Money" (which he performed in 1984) and "Another Brick in The Wall pt. 2" on this tour. I think actually David has been very good to make set lists on his tour. I know many will disagree, but I think it's great to watch and listen to the 2006 versions of "Arnold Layne".

I think it is more accurate to critisize the set lists on the 1994 post Waters-tour, even if I also in that case will disagree to some extent.
