May 16, 2008, Hovet (Ice Hall), Stockholm, Sweden

Setlist:
Rich woman
Leave my woman alone
Black dog
Sister Rosetta goes before us
Through the morning, through the night
Let your loss be your lesson
Fortune teller
In the mood
Black country woman
Shut it tight
Bon temps roule
Green pastures
Down to the river to pray
Killing the blues
Nothin’
The battle of Evermore
Please read the letter
Gone gone gone (Done moved on)

Encore
You don’t knock
I’m a one woman man
Your long journey

from RobsDove
just came home from Stockholm. What a gig. The ice hall, quite a big place, was practically packed, and the public was really enthusiastic.

I didn’t recognize all the songs and wouldn’t be able to give you a setlist, but most of the songs were the same as in the previous concerts. In an evening full of high points, the highest one for me personally was perhaps The Battle of Evermore. An impressive performance in every way! bowing

As for the most unexpected song, that must be In The Mood, which Robert and Alison sang together. It was a quite different, folksy arrangement with in the middle a part of Fairport Convention’s Matty Grove thrown in, sung by Alison. On the other hand, When The Levee Breaks was left out, which was a slight disappointment as I’d been quite looking forward to that. But I can’t really complain since there was so much to enjoy in any case!

Oh, and the tour book is certainly worth the money.
