Thank you, only just seen the edit. Feel free to add them wherever - theres still an awful lot of gaps though.

Also, not a set list quote but on the back of one of the setlists from Saturday at the Roundhouse was this:



no one could explain who, or more impostantly why anyone, would want to do that

Nice list
Does anyone know how long they've been putting quotes on set lists ? I know Richey did some in '49 but what about between then and 2005 ?

As far as I'm aware there wasn't anything in the interim - though I did a lot less in the the 90s than I've done in the 00s so they could have re-appeared for a tour or two and completely passed me by - so I wouldn't want to vouch for that, I'm pretty confident post millenium there was nothing till 2005 though.

I found the Hong Kong one

and here's another Wire's London setlist if anyone wants

As a big Vonnegut fan I have to point out that The Preston 20/05 quote is wrong. It's "bearable", not "unbearable." Kind of changes the meaning entirely.

I will do at some point as I think I've got most of the quotes - I also need to update the european festival dates as I might have one or two of them as well...its just the effort of it all, especially when theres sleeping I could be doing instead

[the_soft_machine]

now that............is a lot of quotes

i bet Nicky does a lot of skim-reading

[Amanda]

OK, you'll all [potentially double digit numbers of you] be thrilled [vaguely interested] to know I've updated the opening post up to the present date - except theres huge gapping holes in it - so as ever if you have another quote please post.

Especially Vancouver as I'm one short of a full tour. And T in the Park as I think I gave my setlist for that to someone and clearly did not memorize it in a lasting manner first.

Ooh ooh, here is the one from Norway this summer.

"New stars are seldom 'authentic'- they actually go to fame schools and train for the job. Today's audience doesn't mind if the performers have svengalis & stylists. After all, the notion of the makeover is central to modern TV." -Paul Du Noyer.
