Is that 100% confirmed, or is it gong to be wrong like LAB? ^^

From your reliable source?

That setlist smells of...

If it IS .. I wouldn't trust anyone who Meat clearly couldn't trust; but if I DID think they had a clue and weren't simply boasting or pulling my chain, I wouldn't post it on a general website.

If it's Warrio's guess .. well anyone could have guessed at that list ... except there's nothing to suggest this will be like a usual concert and have an "encore set". Meat says the contract calls for an hour and a half the same as all Vegas shows .. but he likes to talk;) I'm happy to wait and see what he does. Works for me every time :-) He didn't do an identical set at every Storytellers show .. so why should he at this one?

"Reliable" source is giving him a bit too much credit but take it for what it is. I dont care one way or another. The set really doesn't have room to be that unique this go around anyway.

Maybe he will play Blind before I stop from start to finish and explain it has always been his favourite album and it has taking all this time leading up to Las Vegas to be able to perform it and that only those people at the gigs there truly like the songs. :shrug:

Because he said in an interview that this is going to be a little from Storytellers .... and they will have a regular set list :-)
You'll find out soon enough I guess.

He had a base regular set list for Storytellers. And yes, I will .. and am perfectly happy to wait, and will enjoy it whatever it is :-)

Ahhh yes. wish I was there.

Lemon
Lawyers
(songs from the audience) mixed with:
AFL
Two out of Three
Paradise
Took The Words
ended with:
Bat
More often then not, All Revved Up closed it out.

...because Meat does these shows all the time?

You make me giggle..!

I do have one question of Meat if he is to happen to read this thread. The description of the Vegas show says that it will feature stripped down version of the biggest hits. So, my question is, will all members of the Neverland Express be present for the shows?

Good question.

Interesting question...I'd imagine everyone will be there as the NLE doesn't really have "extra" members, everyone has a role that only they can do.

I guess at a push the only instrument they could get away with dropping would be the sax, but Luther not being in that band doesn't even bear thinking about!

They could drop Randy too. It's been done before.

So would I. Meat had all the NLE for Storytellers, and this show is important to him, being played in Vegas, and he promises it will be better that ST. I too hope Dave Luther is there .. and the running campaign to get Randy to "take his shirt off" suggests to me that Frances knows he will be there .. unless she's hoping for the racecourse gigs .. :lol::lol:

Perhaps they could drop a bandmember here and there but I don't see why. Stripped down might just mean a more acoustic feel to some of the songs or Meat might simply ignore that part (which I think is the most likely route).

In either case I'd imagine a complete NLE line up is the most likely setting.

I can't think of anything more UN-Las Vegas than something like this: ;-)

Yes, I don't interpret "stripped down" as meaning losing band members

No not Randy please, he's about to take his shirt off! :-)

Throw in free flights, hotel for 5 nights and $2000 worth of casino chips and I'd be there. :-)

It's a M&G I brought down from a $1000 .

I've been reading everywhere and it is driving me crazy , This show so far from being stripped down. It's more over the top than anything I have ever done !! You could not tour this show! We approved a press release , then they Changed it. Reporters don't read, it says nothing about stripped down music. Pissed me off . Stripped down is so 90's ... This is Vegas dude !!
