I thought that "Angel' would be the perfect replacement for "Gypsy", but then they went for "Sara" instead. Wouldn't it go perfectly right after "Come"? Lindsey's all toweling off (no pun intended) and after a few moments the crowd's settling down and then the keyboard just kicks in and we get a cool mellow but upbeat song before the slower/emotional part of the set (Landslide, etc.) kicks in.

I still want "Miranda" in the set and early on instead of "Peacekeeper". Let's face it, the general crowd almost groans when they say 'So we have a new album, and we'd like to play a new song" and then Peacekeeper just ends up boring most of the time live. I think that if they said 'so we have a new album out, here's one off of it' and went with Miranda - it'd really get the fans going. It's one of Lindsey's catchiest ever and they could go on for a bit at the end with that fun jam. THEN do Peacekeeper or Say You Will once you've got the flow going, you know?

And finally, now that you've got the door open :-D ... put Never Going Back Again in the middle of the set, where they have Mick's drums up front. Do it in a similar fashion to "Say You Love Me" w/the Dance. Line them up and have a fun spunky song before they go into Beatiful Child or Red Rover.

I used to agree with "Dreams" going out - but to be honest, when I finally heard it live it has a lot more kick to it, and it's a good 'look we're playing our hits already in the set' feel to it, since it comes in second. So I'm not that opposed to it where it is now (took a while though :-) )

AND FINALLY (for real) I'd move IKINW towards the end. Right around the Gold Dust Woman/I'm So Afraid part of the show. I always felt that song was good for later on in the set (specifically after a really big song - I'd like to see it follow Stand Back maybe).

And that does it for me. I love the art of a good setlist!
