Odd as it may seem, I still very much enjoy singing China Girl, as much
as I enjoy singing Motel. They are both included as my intention is to sing
a show that both the audience and myself enjoy.
Per show something like 200 or so people know Motel, (
I know this to be about right as I usually mention Outside by name just
to satisfy myself of its recognition, or lack of, among the crowd - usually
about a couple of hundred voices respond) nearly all 12,000 upwards know
China Girl. But I still perform Motel as it is a great thing to sing.
The material ratio between known and unknown is just about
right for a two and a half hour show in front of such large audiences. We
(audience and band) are having a blast this year. Very special.
From a quick count up of the many 'dream set lists' that
have been banded around over the last while I would have to do a set of
about six hours (about 70 songs) I won't be doing that this year.
I am loving this tour, performing for you has been a real
joy, your response has been fantastic and incredibly warm. I shall continue
in the same fashion that I started this tour, picking my set list as I feel
it.
I won't perform certain songs if I don't feel like doing
them and for a number of you, I will be doing songs with which you may be
bored. I, on the other hand, am not bored. And, unlike you, I am at every
show. |
