Sydney Night 2 Request - NO REPEATS!

I know this is the least likely request post ever - and Saturday night may have a lot more casual fans that would appreciate a ‘greatest hits’ set - but I’m going to throw it out there anyway.

I’m not asking for any song in particular (*), just no repeats from Thursday night’s set.

It’s Saturday night in Sydney, the weather is amazing, the vibe is even better, it’s the last night of the tour, why not just go for it and finish the year in style?!

Thursday night was an unreal atmosphere, I can’t wait for tomorrow.


*although I am still holding out hope that Ed’s suggestion of Felicity’s Surprise will see the light of day eventually…*

    They should play something unique that they didn’t play in the USA.  Something that says thanks for waiting so long.

    I’d take any - or all - of those in a heartbeat!

    We got Chloe Dancer and Crown of Thorns in Sydney last tour (BDO 2014), could we be lucky again…

    Great request. I have never understood why the band would repeat so many songs in the same city. A couple like Alive and Betterman are understandable as it pleases the casuals, but there are enough of the hits to rotate through. Daughter and Elderly Woman are comparable to a casual fan but nice not to be repeated if you’re a hardcore

    Even with a few repeats, you’d have to be happy with the night two set!?

    Absolutely! It was unreal.

    I’ll gladly take a few repeats (especially Black) if it means Tremor Christ, Hunger Strike, Immortality, Alone, Little Wing… 

    What a night!
