Post subject:  2024 setlist variations & some musings

I have really enjoyed following along with the 2023 & 2024 shows from afar (I'm in the US) thanks to various audio and video recordings as they become available as well as discussion from this wonderful site. I've been a fan since 1995 and I'll FINALLY be seeing her live for the first time on 9/11 in Washington, D.C. - I'm beyond excited! A couple observations in regards to this year's setlists so far:

* "Seem An I" has disappeared from the sets entirely. I loved the 2023 live versions and it's my 2nd favorite song on the album.
* the Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens/hometown show featured 2 songs from Hope 6 ("Community of Hope", "Dollar Dollar").
* According to setlist.fm, "50 Ft. Queenie" was not played in Berlin on August 13. If that is correct it is the only show so far this year without it.

I wonder what the setlist will be for the upcoming US shows? Will it be like Fall '23 with the first half being IITOYD played in full? I hope that will be the case, although I'll appreciate anything she chooses to perform for us. I'd love to hear "Seem An I" + the 2 Hope 6 songs she played in late June.

I think those songs will return for the US tour, "August" hasn't been played either, which is a shame!

The Berlin show last night looks very short! James Johnston said it would be a 90 min set... maybe she was not feeling well?

Admittedly I haven’t been following the tour closely lately because I got my PJ live fix lat autumn and the shows all look/feel the same to me, but after a quick scan through setlist.fm it seems she is currently rotating three setlist variants, let's call them A (e.g. Montreux), B (e.g. Bergenfest) and C (e.g. Noches del Botánico).

Generally speaking, A seems to be for shorter festival slots, B for longer festival slots, and C for her own headlining shows (and unlike A & B may include an encore). Of course sometimes tracks might get cut due to time constraints / other unknown reasons (Glastonbury, Berlin).

FWIW, I think she’ll go back to performing IITOYD in its entirety during her US tour so I bet you’re going to hear “Seem an I” live, Jason. The extra Hope Six tracks she did in Dorset seem like a one-off for now, but I am curious if she's going to shake up the second half of the show for the American leg and include them as staples in the main set, or at least as an rotating encore selection.
