Default Re: Guessing GL song titles

First, the "biographical" material that the journalist included is taken verbatim from the 1998 APPT press kit. The reporter didn't write it. That press kit, and a newer version which was released at the time of Harmony, are all over the internet. For a reporter who doesn't do much research (like look up the release date of the CD mentioned), it's easy enough to use the 1998 version rather than the 2004 version.

The fact that somebody who doesn't know the artists' songs would try to name a dozen of them is surprising and very poor journalism. Most responsible journalists would have stuck to the songs they were sure of (the hits, probably), and talked about the concert in general, or sought out a fan who could help him out with song titles. I'll bet there were a few hundred people who were willing and able ...

Finally, I keep waiting for somebody to name all the songs. Most are obvious to me, but a few are not. I am not quite energetic enough to look through his recent set lists and figure out which song from the rotation each of them must be, but perhaps one of you can post the complete list? Surely I am not the only one interested?
