Got to see the show over the weekend. What a blast. The venue was not announced as a sell out, but it was pretty damn close. Myles...man, there's a reason this guy is my favorite singer these days. What an incredible voice and humbleness about the guy.
The setlist on setlist.fm is predictably wrong. But not by much. Here was what he played (SPOILERS BELOW):
Devil on the Wall
Standing in the Sun (Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators cover)
Before Tomorrow Comes (Alter Bridge song)
Mars Hotel (The Mayfield Four cover)
Addicted to Pain (Alter Bridge song)
Starlight (Slash cover)
Haunted by Design
Levon (Elton John cover)
Blind Faith
Songbird
Love Will Only Heal
The Trooper (Iron Maiden cover)
All Ends Well (Alter Bridge song)
Traveling Riverside Blues (Robert Johnson cover)
World on Fire (Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators cover)
Watch Over You (Alter Bridge song)
Year of the Tiger
Encore:
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover)
Rise Today (Alter Bridge song) >>>>The order of that isn't right, but those were the songs he played. It clocked it at almost a full two hours. Here are some selected songs from the show (Mars Hotel, All Ends Well, The Trooper, Love Can Only Heal, and Hallelujah):

Myles ended up giving my daughter a pick, and Tim, his tech and guitarist (he comes on twice to play), gave her a setlist. The funny thing was, the setlist was completely wrong, as Myles types one out, but then just plays what he's feeling and what the audience wants to hear. So each show is apparently pretty varied. It was such a great time, and nice to have my whole family together for something like this.
The songs from Year of the Tiger really have nice energy live, and man, Love Can Only Heal...that song is the real deal. I'm a big fan of The Mayfield Four album called Second Skin, and was really happy Myles did "Mars Hotel." He had been doing three Mayfield songs from that record at shows, but we only got one this time. (He was playing Mars Hotel, Eden, and White Flag at certain shows) One he hadn't played on tour was a personal favorite from that Second Skin record, "Summergirl." I asked him to play it, and he tinkered with the idea for a second or two, and then said, "well, this isn't Summergirl, but it's melancholy just like it," and proceeded to play Love Can Only Heal. It wasn't on the setlist for the show that my daughter got, so I was thrilled he did it, as like many, it is my favorite tune from his solo album. And if you watch the video, you'll see it worked out just fine. (Just incredible.)
The opening band, Thomas Wynn and the Believers, was great. It was just the two singers of the band (Thomas and his sister Olivia), with Thomas also playing the guitar. They were outstanding. Great voices, Olivia in particular. If you like a little southern flavor in your rock, check them out.
Anyway, such a great performance and concert, and I was so happy we could make it. If you can make one of these, I really encourage you to go.
