Living Colour - Aug 30, 2007 review/setlist - Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo review 30th August

OK, we all know how great the guys are on stage. But
this time was awesome!!! I got the feeling that I´ve
never heard Corey´s voice that good.

The band tried to start with Desperate People but
Corey´s mic wasn´t working. They started again and
then Will had some problems. The guys looked at each
other and decided to skip that song, so the real first
song was Type.

That was followed by a sequence of smash hits and
Corey was a sort of firestarter. He was wearing a Che
Guevara t-shirt by the way.

The new song is great. Corey said with a little
sarcasm "this is a new song, that will be on our next
record, as soon as we record it". If the other songs
will be as surprising as Bless Those, I dare say that
the new album may be better than Collideoscope.

The setlist (if I remember the sequence correctly):

Type/Police and Thieves
Middle Man
Funny Vibe
Wall
Open Letter
Sacred Ground
Memories Can´t Wait
Papa Was a Rolling Stone (amazing version!)
Glamour Boys
Elvis is Dead
Bless Those
Go Away
Desperate People (now it worked!)
Time´s Up
Love Rears Its Ugly Head
Cult
Sunshine Of Your Love
Should I Stay Or Should I Go
