Come on Roxette bring your show to the UK.......

The concert isn’t over yet. :)

Remco said on February 28, 2011 19:50:

Just 3 new songs, less than expected. Still nice that WITR, SB and TWBTS made it. Unknown to the masses, so a nice gesture to the fans...

Hmmmm, disappointed that Noone makes it on her own and Speak to me didn’t make the setlist......otherwise pretty happy with the choices, though I think they shouldve dropped Opportunity Nox, 7twenty7 and The Big L. There are also some classic rox singles that I wouldve loved to see on there instead such as Run to You, Crash Boom Bang, Fireworks, TCOTH, SDLHA, YDUM.
Happy to see Watercolours in the rain on there though!

Thanks for Way Out!
Upset with SDLHA and Steppin’ Stone replaced ^(

Just for fun... I sent my friend a ’predicted’ set list yesterday, and this is what I came up with (knowing they would choose songs Marie was already familiar with mostly and their best known songs):

1. Dressed For Success
2. Sleeping in My Car
3. Fading Like a Flower
4. She’s Got Nothing On
5. Dangerous/How Do You Do!
6. It Must Have Been Love
7. Wish I Could Fly
8. The Big L.
9. Dream On
10. Spending My Time
11. The Look
12. Listen To Your Heart
13. Crash! Boom! Bang!
14. Way Out
15. Joyride
16. A Thing About You
17. Things Will Never Be The Same
18. Perfect Day
19. Church of Your Heart
20. No One Makes It On Her Own

Encores:

21. Opportunity Nox
22. Silver Blue

Better not go into fortune telling, I wasn’t really close at all!

ncurran said on February 28, 2011 19:57:

Oh and 1 more small thing......they really need to change the opening and closing songs......Church of your heart is a rubbish closing song....they should swap it with Listen to your heart. DFS is a great opener to the show, but for the fans at least I think we’re a little tired of it opening the show now?!

@roxtexanet - They did play Run To You during the C!B!B! tour! It’s on the video! And Real Sugar was added to the Room Service setlist after a couple of gigs and was played until the end of the tour :-)

@ncurran - Yep I agree!! That’s the one song I didn’t want to open the show, but you can’t have it all I guess....!

So we could call it Join the Joyride Tour part 2, given all the songs played!!! I would have liked more Charm School songs too (although I like the ones chosen), but I am happy for Opp Nox and 7Twenty7 staying. Anyway, this in only a personal opinion (I will always want more and more) and I am really really happy about the world tour starting and I’m sure they’ll add more songs to reach 25!

ROX on and let’s hope for Youtube clips tomorrow!

mareo said on February 28, 2011 20:14:

Of course I understand why more old songs are played, since they’re known both to the general public and to Marie and I do not mind at all, just to be clear.

And yes, A thing about you would be great to hear live. Maybe Way out could open the show, as it was suggested somewhere, since I am personally tired of DFS, but all the rest is just great.

Ok, I once again wanted to say something positive, but again it sounds as a criticism, which is not, weird:)

Remco said on February 28, 2011 20:19:

@Roxrikkie: That’s what I wonder too. I have contacted the organisers of Bospop to find out which times and how long they will play. I wait for their answer.

It seems from the listing published now (with just the band names, no times) that they are not even the headliner, so I wonder if it will be a 1,5+ hour show... :S

@bwwbounce Thank you!

Roxrikkie said on February 28, 2011 20:31:

Thanks Remco. I hope the Bospop organization will give you an answer. I am curious to know.

Jagdpanther said on February 28, 2011 20:39:

why did they not play SPEAK TO ME ??? this is the best sond on charm school at all- I really can‘t belive this! Per told on german TV that this is his favorit track too like from thousands of fans. I really hope they will play it on later concerts.
they “only” played 23 songs. but all the hits?? where is ALMOST UNREAL, FIREWORKS -who needs Oppurtunity Nox now instead those classic pearls?- Please they them again. 8 songs from Joyride seems to be a little be unbalanced compared with other potetial hist. anyway I like that they are back again- thank you Per and Marie.

coyboyusa said on February 28, 2011 20:45:

i’m kinda nervous they will put out only 1 more single because they are touring which would be a big shame

so say we all

Wicf said on February 28, 2011 21:06:

The Big L sucks, it should’ve been replaced by Speak To Me, their greatest duet ever, or by TCOTH!... glad to see Spending MY Time and Watercolours, yeah :-) Looking forward to changing the setlist every now and then, my dear Roxette

fridapeeples said on February 28, 2011 21:18:

I am sure the setlist will get played with over the next few months, 5 new additions to the list from last year is pretty good and they will probably try out the other new ones once they feel that they are performance ready. Let’s not forget the miracle that this is even happening at all! Hoping to see some video soon (particularly the new trax!!)

also...great to hear that Marie has rediscovered her fondness for sports jerseys! another reminder of the good ’ol days - I hope this tradition will continue worldwide :-)

muc_ben said on February 28, 2011 22:02:

I’m very satisfied with the set list! The worst case for me would have been, if they’d play cover songs. There are so many great Rox-songs, so there is no need to play covers.

It was known that Marie & Per are going to play their greatest hits. So it’s nice to have songs like “O’nox”, “Only when I dream”, “7Twenty7”, “Silver blue” and “Way out”.

I’m glad they kept “Silver blue” & “How do you do!” and hope they will not skip it until summer when I’ll attend 3 shows, because I never heard these songs live. They could have replaced “O’nox” with another rock song like “Crush on you” or even “I remember you”.

I think it’s not the final list! Regarding the Party Crasher Tour and the Room Service Tour, two or three more songs popped up after the first third of shows. So I’m very sure some of the new tunes will come up after a row of gigs. They rehearsed six songs. Maybe one of them didn’t sound good playing it live, so there is the chance of two more to come.

Well, I never really liked “Watercolours in the rain”. So I would have been much happier with a song like “The sweet hello, the sad goodbye” or even an unplugged version of “Neverending love” or “Surrender”. But I guess they play this song, because it’s one of those Marie has written.

Also the opening and closing tracks should have changed. I liked “Sleeping in my car” and “Crush on you” a lot as opening tracks. “Sleeping…” really rocked after this Mission Impossible-intro and “Crush…” was linked to the intro sound wise. And the closing track should be a big ballad like “Listen to your heart” or “Queen of rain”.

But with the chance of getting two or three new songs added until summer, I’m very happy with this set list.

And maybe the set list will get a major change for the second leg of the tour which - rumours say - will continue in fall?!

Hey guys! I was lucky to get to the Kazan concert.JUST OFF !!! First 3 songs sounded not really good because of some mic problems, but later on they played a real rock’n’roll! They stuck to the songs list pretty accurate. “Listen to your heart ” was gorgeous. It collected half of the stadium at the front of the scene and the other half was waving cell phones - full magic moment. Marie was singing almost 2 hours in a row - FANTASTIC!!!!

staringatheground said on February 28, 2011 23:39:

why not sing speak to me?? :-(((((((((((((

roxulikeababy said on March 1, 2011 00:11:

What an awesome setlist! I can’t wait to see this show!!!

Might be sacrilege, but a lil part of me was hoping for “Hey Mr. DJ” since Helena is on the tour...but I’m sure not complaining! Was this one of the shows Malin was filling in or was Helena there? And if so, how was she?

Sunshine is a lady who rox u like a baby!

RobS said on March 1, 2011 00:36:

I quite like the setlist. I’d probably change one of the Joyride songs to something from RS.

But overall I think they chose the songs quite well. And who knows, they are known to adjust and play around with songs during the tour.

Roxwriter said on March 1, 2011 01:24:

So the nightmare version... figures!

Hotblooded said on March 1, 2011 03:32:

The only thing I wish they’d change is ’The Big L’! Am I the only one who is completely bored with this song especially live?? It does nothing for me! There are so many other better songs!

Would have been nice to see the original versions of TL & ’Joyride’! After all its those intros that people recognize. If your only a casual fan it takes until the verse to realise what the song is!! It loses all it’s excitement that way! Not a brilliant idea in my book.

It’s great to see SMT in there! Love that! I wonder how she went with the lyrics?

Having watched the video of LTYH Marie really struggled with the lyrics & lost her way in the instrumental... it always makes my heart sink because I feel for her... but I think the start of a tour is always a bit rough once she gets into her stride (eg. St Petersburg 2010) then she really rocks it!

first girl on t... said on March 1, 2011 06:06:

I was so sure they would play Speak To Me!!!! I was so hoping to hear it live, I’m not complaining but it’s the best song on the album and didn’t Per say that he knows that this is fan’s favorite? Whatever I’m so looking forward to the concert!!!! Watercolours In the Rain and Silver Blue YES!!!

CooperUkr said on March 1, 2011 10:05:

Looking forward Kiev‘s live.I Just got a ticket!

roxulikeababy said on March 1, 2011 13:23:

Delighted to see COYH on this list, it’s my all-time favorite.

Wouldn’t change a thing except to add “Almost Unreal.”

And please forgive my “Hey Mr DJ” comment, it’s just sour grapes from having missed that tour. :-) and thinking that it would give Marie a little break.

Miami said on March 2, 2011 16:50:

I like the setlist. There are so many good songs, so some of them must be left away. I’m happy they’ve rehearsed more and change the songs time to time. I was so happy to see that my favourite Perfect day was in the list and I loved to hear it since Marie sang it better than in last tour which was quite an achievement since I totally fell for the version in St. Petersburg. It was also nice to see Per’s video of the soundcheck of PD.

I would change the first song, but I understand it’s something like a tradition to start a Rox show with Dressed.
