I went to the show back in 2008. It was a very vanilla setlist but Jon was in a good mood and his voice was great as it always was on that tour. Unremarkable but enjoyable.

There was also this clip of a kid getting up on stage which went viral at the time

Coventry is not a huge deal in terms of locations to play and after Wembley the pressure is off so we may see Jon relaxed enough to change things up slightly.

The Ricoh is the only venue that I’ve been to where they actually brought bacon rolls out for us! Very nice.

And Matt was dubiously handing out wrist bands to selected ladies. Hmmmm.

I’ll be there.

Only one I could get to this tour. Anyone going to the green room before/after?

So you're predicting that Coventry will be the Allentown of this leg?

I'm not confident predicting anything really but I'd say that Dry County might be played. Again, the pressure is off, last UK show and it's been an audible for a few shows now.

Thanks for posting that video with the kid. Cute as a speckled pup! And the video that came after it on autoplay was the WDOA Jon did with the young guy named Marco, which is my favorite concert moment of the BWC tour - and one of my all-time favorites, period.

Jon is great with kids. :D

I don’t think Dry county will be played.

Would love to see Blaze added instead of Amen or Capt Crash.

Is this the least anticipated show of the tour so far?

Someone tweeted a picture of the setlist from backstage. The quality is poor but I can make out What The Water Made Me, New Years Day, Living With The Ghost & Dry County amongst the usuals.

Edit: That might not be a setlist but rather a guide for the techs as most songs have either "Phil solo" or "Shanks solo" beside them.

These are on the left side of the set. It will surely be pretty accurate all the way to Prayer:

THINFS
RYH
BAD NAME
ROLLER COASTER
LOST HIGHWAY
RUNAWAY
WWBTF
HAND
KTF
MEMORY
BOR
IN THESE ARMS
IML
WE DONT RUN
WANTED
LYHOM
CPT
WE GOT IT GOING ON
SLEEP
