29. Father and Son
30. Peace Train
Encore:
31. All Kinds of Roses

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.
