5.5.4 Comments

Lisbon, Portugal 7 April

Live debut of Tryin’ To Get To Heaven

Selected BobTalk

(for more BobTalk please refer to the session pages)

I think we have some guests … We’ve got a couple of Bruce Springsteen guitar players. We don’t have Bruce, but we have his guitar. We’ve got Miami Steve van Zandt, give him a big hand!! (before Not Fade Away in Zürich, Switzerland 25 April).

It’s such a thrill to play at this place, I only play here because Elton John played here! Any place Elton plays, I have to play! (after If Not For You in Ischgl, Austria 1 May).

[1] a show is unique if no other show has the same songs in the same order

[2] a show is different from another show if the set of songs are different, regardless of order

[3] electric and acoustic versions are counted as different songs

[4] a song is counted as unique regardless of how it is performed

[5] variation is computed as the quote between number of different songs and mean number of performed songs
