Set list Farewell Tour

Hello Tommy

What do you think about this idea :
The fans will vote for the top 10 songs they like to hear on the farwell tour and the 10 most popular will be play by the cats. Is it possible ? I think it could be a good end

I think it's a fine idea to list your preferences to give Brian and the Cats some feedback, but I have read more than once where Brian isn't fond of being a "jukebox" (of course, this was before the last Xmas tour - where Brian played through a jukebox and was basically inside a jukebox). So, a poll or thread on this subject is great, but attaching a binding setlist to the message board might not go over as well for a band that wants to leave on their own terms. Besides, I would guess that our consensus "Top 10" choices would probably be included anyway. For every one person who wants to hear "Looking Better Every Beer," there's probably 1000 who would vote for "Rumble In Brighton," which would have been played regardless.

If there's no sax, no piano, and no backup singers, some great tunes may not be eligible. But I'm all for guest appearances and special one-off performances, as long as someone records 'em for posterity! Dave Edmunds rules OK!

184 days and counting-billy

Hey Tommy, what do you think of this idea ? And Brian ?

They are all really good suggestions. I'd love to hear the Cats do a load of b-sides and stuff I've never seen them do live. Gonna Ball....Crazy Mixed Up Kid.....One Hand Loose.....

With the Cats, it's all good. I'd really like to hear Cry Baby with Dave Edmunds sharing the vox with Brian.

First ten songs to be played at the Brighton Centre on August 27th!

beautyful delilah !

i hope , the shows will be longer than ever . the shows i have seen since then where all about 80 minutes !!

i hope they will make it for 2 ours or more this time !

I dont care if they stand up there and sing happy birthday for 2 hours! We should be happy that they are just doing the tour. Can't wait!

Tommy,

If this really is the last of the Stray Cats, your suggestion would be a fine one. Let's get Dave Edmunds up there and do "Cry Baby", "The Race Is On" & "King Of Love". His influence on their career has to be worthy of a bit part in their final moments? can you swing it for us?

I'd luuuuuuurve to see a Cats gig where half way through they announce "and now a special guest..........................." and then either....

Dave Edmunds
Lemmy
Robert Plant
Jerry Lee Lewis (+ wheelchair?)
Kim Wilde (sorry: I fancied her like mad in the 80's and I once read she loved the Stray Cats)

or ME walks on stage,


COOL

Tommy.........do you think there is any chance of some guest appearnaces from some of their friends over the years.......like Dave Edmunds, Robert Plant.......that really would be the business.


and as for singing Happy Birthday......that made me laugh.

CMUK

can I get an AMEN, after all these yrs I am sure they know what their message was! then some

.

AMEN

Banksy - how cool would that be; oh wait, no it would be cool if I was the special guest. As I am sure we would all like to be. However, I would probably embarrass myself and stand there and cry like a silly school girl.

for me the top 10 songs that i'd like to hear on Farewell tour :
1. Cryin'shame
2. Give it to me
3. gonna ball
4. storm the embassy
5. lookin better every beer
6. Hotrod gang
7. Looking For Someone To love
8. Race is on
9. Jeanie, jeannie, jeannie
10. Let's go faster

1) Rev it up and go
2)Craw up and die
3)Tear it up
4) Cryin' Shame
5)Dig Dirty Doggie
6) Gonna ball
7) Rockin' All Over The Place
Mystery Train
9) My One Desire
10) Storm the embassy
