We recently were at the Kitchener, Ontario concert and we are going to be at the Toronto one on 6 June. I feel the list of songs may not be too important, especially when the list may vary a bit for each performance. We were expecting So Long Marianne in one of the encores, as it is a song somewhat endearing to us, and it was not played, although it was played in many other venues--you know, the setlists.

Maybe we should not try to anticipate the songs, or dwell on past performances, or past away. Even without So Long Marianne, the concert was very enjoyable and I really don't want to suggest to the maestro what is appropriate for his concerts.

Enjoy what is performed, and I am sure everyone will.
