who thinks 100 different songs by the last night Beacon?

[bronxapostle]

i've done this tally once or twice at BACKSTREETS for Bruce tours. so, with the first show of 2011 tomorrow; who agrees that EC will do 100 different songs by the MAY 24th Beacon show? i know it is a HIGH number for over/under, but i think it will be accomplished. i will keep tally right here at the first post of this thread. JUST FOR FUN, NO GAMBLING PERMITTED!!! okay: in celebration of the 1st twenty two songs; my daring guess will be 122!!!

[verbal gymnastics]

Does the same song solo and with a band class as one song or 2?

Or does a different arrangement of the same song (like he did on occasion in 1986) count as one song or 2?

Either way I'm going to say 83!

[bronxapostle]

SAME song band or solo is THE SAME! but, the SUGARCANES mystery dance WILL BE counted a second time if the MAIT take was already performed on the tour! i will relent on the tidbits of songs played (tears of a clown, be my baby, wind cries mary, gloria etc.) tacked on at songs end! but, a good verse/chorus of a song played WILL be counted. up for dispute as occurs. the MAIN concern is: will we get a setlist here for each show? or will we lack FAR EAST appearances? keep the faith....100 at least by May 24th!!!

[pophead2k]

I'll attempt to screw Verbal out of his non-existent prize by predicting 84.

I'll attempt to screw Verbal out of his non-existent prize by predicting 84.

That's the spirit.
I'll take 82.

[bronxapostle]

okay...just did a google search for time in S. Korea. it is 4:15 a.m. Sunday the 27th! fourteen hours ahead of me here in NY! so, we could have a first setlist in twenty hours or BEFORE noon tomorrow. hope we got a forum member there! oh, and a taper!

why dr. L?? no person that IS attending half a world away would be inclined to be an ELVIS dweeb like us, equipped with a computer to send along a setlist? or have a digital recorder? i say you will be proven wrong...hopefully!! best, ba

I'm very cynical today.
I think it might be an adverse reaction to the political climate.

Is there a Korean version of ba?

[bronxapostle]

God willing, DOC!!! i thought you were chiming in here to say "if ba says 100 by 5-24, it will likely come to pass".

[krm]

I think there will be more than 100 songs! The soloshows will provide a good variety of new and old material. The question is if we can see setlists from the shows outside Japan. The shows with the Imposters Down Under and in South AMerica will probably be some kind of "best of ..." shows with little variety. (Like TOkyo and Osaka in 2009). But the Revolver tour will give us lots and lots of old songs, new songs and a few nice covers. At least this is what I am dreaming of.......

[sulky lad]

My optimistic half says over 100 but I'm not sure how versatile Elvis will be.
lets see about 24 gigs with Imposters that's an average of a staple of 30-40 songs + 2 or 3 rarities every other night + a dozen or so solo ones with 7-10 different to the staple Imposter gigs must make a round total of ( plucking a number out of the air) 113 !!

[bronxapostle]

good on you krm and sulky...will surely top 100!!!

[jmm]

ba, how about 100 songs at the last night at the beacon???

Decided we had to go to at least one show there too

[bronxapostle]

noooooo, he's saving that for MY 100th show!!!

[bronxapostle]

this is the bad part of me editing post one at the thread: i feel compelled to trumpet its update with a BUMP!!!

[jardine]

trumpet bumping, eh? quite acceptable!

[bronxapostle]

trumpet bump two...PLEASE i could ALWAYS use proof readers! i added FIVE today: watch and help when error spotted please! thanks, b

[bronxapostle]

another Ayako bump: big thanks to this reliable reporter. does she post here??? SHE SHOULD!! 3-2 adds TWELVE!!! you know; when i originally was posting this thread, my VERY DARING number was 150!!! i'm sure the 'OVER 100' believers went up big time today. my contention remains: the man WILL be unleashed in 2011.

[bronxapostle]

thanks sweetest and wiki for coming thru...we're at forty three after four shows.

[bronxapostle]

the March 7th bump finally comes through and BIG KUDOS to both ManOut and ANCT as well as the astounding assistance here to ECFF from setlist.fm. when's the last time THAT happened??? and PLEASE all, this is where i will beg your help. so am i correct in removing BIGBOYSCRY from the other night and changing it to ICRIEDFORYOU??? and the add of HOOVER is the only PLUS one from the last TWO shows unless we get a verified setlist from the 3-5 show. excuse my OCD, but a good statistician ALWAYS wants and NEEDS verification. your TWO CENTS is ALWAYS welcome here. thanks all. peace, benny

[bronxapostle]

a DEAD bump!!!!! did you REALLY think i wouldn't count these SEVEN from last night? read thread title and see if i limit it to EC headline appearances exclusively. NOPE!

[verbal gymnastics]

If the total is 89 then I'm going to have to call in an adjudicator about those 7 songs ba

[bronxapostle]

trust me VG...my 122 prediction will be obliterated!!!!
