I'm interested in feedback and learning what people want. It's a tricky thing for me when I do a set list. You get bored doing the same songs. Let's say we do one ballad in two hours, and it's "Wild Horses."

You do need to do some songs that aren't so well known. The question is how many? I'm open to people posting their requests.
