Tonight, on the way home from the Cat Stevens / Yusuf concert (which was very good, but ironically not as enjoyable as Darren Coggan's "Peace Train: The Cat Stevens Story" of two months ago, where Darren very accurately covered Cat's songs and talked about Cat's life), I heard the song I haven't been able to identify for about two years - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcKZoFRpZCI. Now my life is complete... except for that bit about understanding the universe as much as humanly possible...

Really?!! "Not as enjoyable"? I don't believe that !
I didn't know Cat was touring, how was it? What was the setlist like?


Tomorrow, philosophy exam. Then history, then economy, then English, then maths, then German, then...guys, this week, i'm going to die. Aufwiedersehen.

Well, my house inspection went really well, all things considered. Only a few small things to fix before the inspector comes back tomorrow, and then we can (hopefully) move in.

I look forward to this, because I am tired of hanging out of windows as I scrape 50 year old paint off of the sashes outside and reapply new paint with naught but my one foot hooked around the ledge to support me.

Actually, I don't mind that part so much.

The part I mind is where Boy What Carries Things bursts into the room of wherever I am doing this and shouts, "OMG ANNIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU ARE GOING TO FALL AND BREAK YOUR ASS IN HALF AND DIE AND WHAT WILL I TELL YOUR CHILDREN WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN OMG."

Look, if you're worried about me falling, don't pop 'round corners unexpectedly and scream.

I'm just sayin.'

This is the 10/6/10 (Perth) setlist:
1. Lilywhite
2. The Wind
3. Midday (Avoid City After Dark)
4. Where Do The Children Play?
5. I Love My Dog
6. Here Comes My Baby
7. The First Cut Is The Deepest
8. Fill My Eyes
9. Boots and Sand
10. Shamsia
11. Miles From Nowhere
12. World O' Darkness
13. Maybe There's a World
14. Matthew And Son
15. But I Might Die Tonight
16. (Do You Remember the Days of the) Old School Yard
17. In the End
18. On The Road To Find Out
19. Tuesday's Dead
20. Roadsinger
21. Don't Be Shy
22. Waltzing Matilda
23. Bad Brakes
24. Be What You Must / Sitting
25. Morning Has Broken
26. Wild World (Zulu Version)
27. Wild World
28. Moonshadow
29. Father and Son
30. Peace Train
Encore:
31. All Kinds of Roses
32. Rubylove
33. I Think I See the Light

Offhand, the only difference I can see is that he sang "Peace Train" last in the Encore.
As I said, it wasn't as enjoyable as Darren's performance. The Cat had a habit of singing half of a song before drifting into another one, usually seamlessly... I guess that's fair enough if he feels bored singing songs in much the same way as always, but it did feel a bit disappointing - seeing as he hasn't toured in such a long time, it's not as if we've heard him doing the same routine lately! He may also have done that because he was telling the story of Stormy and Moonshadow for about half of the concert, which he later revealed was a musical he was working on... that kinda just made the concert feel like a bit of an advertisement for what he really wants us to see...
His performances were better later in the night ("Tuesday's Dead" was most enjoyable! ), but by that time I was feeling pretty tired/headachey from the late night I'd had (damn World Cup and its watchability! ), and starting to think about my upcoming exam, so I wasn't entirely with it.
Also, so far as audience interaction goes, I personally found him a bit mixed:
"Melbourne is just... plus so many things..."
Anyone care to decipher that? This was better though, after someone cheered unnecessarily loudly from the back-right of the venue:
"Gee, you're not shy, are you? I'll dedicate this next song to you."
Care to guess which song he played?
So, all in all, enjoyable, but underwhelming.

He shall be pleased (perhaps) to hear he is Famous on the Internets! But yeah - Boy What Carries Things is the crowd (by which I mean "me") favorite over here, too.

Carrie,
Is it true that you don't even like the Mac?
And that you're only here to read my posts?

Seems odd that that he'd perform a rather comprehensive setlist and leave that one out.

Hmm... that would've been nice to hear. The most notable absences for me were "Into White" and "Longer Boats". I guess, considering the amount of material from Roadsinger, there were always going to be quite a few songs left out that I would've liked to have heard.

I guess i always found him to be a bit weird (it has nothing to do with his religion and everything, but just the fact that his live performances can be very, very different from the original. It just almost changes the emotion, that's why i hate Sad Lisa live, and it is one of my favorite songs ). Anyway, i think the setlist is great, i would die to hear peace train, don't be shy and i think i see the light live ! Into white and If you want to sing out are missing indeed, but i guess we just can't be all happy. Last love song would have been great too. And is it me, or are there a lot of songs here? . 33 !! Now i really understand why you were tired .
Thanks for the review, now you seriously detered me from going to see Cat
