Good that they skipped Wrong Number.

My mind must be playing tricks cos I am pretty sure they actually played that song.

They also played a version of a song (can't remember the title) - maybe A Forest - it was no matter an extension of a song kinda - and Robert made a remark about the reaction from the audience - like "this is how the original version was" - or something..

I also think the remark before the last song "Killing an Arab" where he said "This is for Denmark" was about how idiotic religion is.
If a couple of cartoons will make you kill other people, you're an idiot.

Oh and the show was just great.

Especially the start - Disintegration is my favourite album ..so there.

Plainsong is still one of their most beautiful songs - keyboards or no keyboards. Just magnificent.
And then Prayers for rain... Simply great beginning.

SO glad they skipped Open.

(thanks A.):

Plainsong
Prayers for rain
Fascination street

The end of the world

To wish impossible things
Pictures of you
Lullaby
From the edge of the deep green sea
Please project
Push
Inbetween days
Just like heaven
Primary
A boy i never knew
Us and them
Never enough
Wrong number
Signal to noise

One hundred years
Disintegration

At night
M
Play for today
A forest

Let's go to bed
Freak show
Close to me
Why can't I be you?

Boys don't cry
Jumping someone else's train
Grinding halt

Killing an arab

Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine

The show is over. The last song, Killing an arab, was introduced by Bob as "This if for Denmark", wishfulthings said.

What did he mean?. Maybe it has something to do with Bob's support to the danish people for the Mahoma's caricature problem last year?

Again, thanks a lot to wishfulthings for the excellent coverage :smth023


I'd imagine that it has something to do with Danish newspapers reprinting a cartoon depicting the prophet Mohammed.  Apparently this is blasphemous to Muslims.  17 Danish newspapers decided to reprint it after Danish police uncovere da plot to murder the cartoonist.

Not sure that this is a good idea for Robert to dedicate this song to that cause, considering that the song has negative connotations to those that assume the song is about actually Killing someone of Arab descent.   :smth011   I am sure that it was a tongue in cheek comment, but I am so sure that many people will take it out of context.

I remember reading about it all.. the danish journalists copped a lot.. but it was a very senstive topic.. especially depicting an image of Mohammed ( it is disallowed in muslim faith .. to depict his image..)

I hope that it was taken tongue-in-cheek, and won't flare anything up!!  :shock:

So what? I believe in the Donald Duck religion and it's very sensitve for me when other cartoonist make fun of Donald.

Don't let the extremists of any religion have any power.

Dansi

Oh damn, I didn't know such a religion existed..
Was just trying to be ironic although Donald is more real to me than Jesus, Muhammed or God..

rodney

I'm not sure if it's a religion or what, but it is a real thing.  I know your point though.
