Oslo, John Dee 16/03/2007

[hitormiss]

I had a fantastic birthday surprise when my other half produced plane tickets to Oslo so we could go to the Duke gig.
I have to say it?s the best present anyone has ever given me!
The concert was amazing as always, Peter even managed to greet the audience in Norwegian which went down nicely and there was a NEW SONG! Well new to me anyway ? I?ll feel like a bit of a wally if someone posts to tell me it?s been around for ages?
I have some pictures to post when I get back home, only I?m not great with the camera so they are by no means perfect.

I got a copy of the set list this time, only slightly different from any of the UK dates I went to:

?New One?
Brixton Leaves
Everybody Wants
Slip of a Girl
Last Night I Nearly Died
Scarlett (solo)
Don?t Breathe
Ain?t got no, I got life ? Nina Simone cover
No Cover Up
Baby Britain ? Elliott Smith cover
Portrait
This Could be my Last Day
Freewheel
Salvation Tambourine
?

Closer to the Start
I Let You Down
Quiet Revolutionaries
I Saw the Light ? Hank Williams cover

I was looking forward to finding the name of the opening song but the set list just says ?new one?
I can?t remember many of the lyrics, but maybe someone can recognise it from these few random words:

?Love gets hard as it gets older but love would have to get much harder to stop me loving you?
?When I get distracted beyond my will, I will fall back on grace though it cracks and it kills?

?Or something like that ? any ideas?

it would appear that "new one" is probably...............a new one.

Sounds like the same new song that was perplexing people on the Cork, Cyprus Avenue thread: http://www.dukespecial.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1712 Don't think anyone knows the title!

It appears to be called 'Love Is Hard' but that may just be a working title of course :roll:

Are you one of these many setlist stealers!?!?

:P

I used to be but others always seem to get there before me these days :roll:

I found a new hobby though, collecting pictures that others take of setlists :D

Have fun tomorrow night Conor :wink:
