und hier die setlists der ersten beiden Abende (aus http://www.backstreets.com)
ein feuchter Traum für alle REM und Bruce-Fans!!
October 1 / Philadelphia, PA / Wachovia Center
General Notes: The Vote For Change tour launched its opening night in Philly with the emphasis placed firmly on hard rockin' rather than grandiose speechifyin'. Bruce played MC, appearing on stage very shortly after the ticketed start time with REM's Michael Stipe to greet the crowd. Bruce officially declared a „No BRUUUCE Zone,“ saying „I will come out and slap you silly. We have too much great music tonight. No BRUUUCING!“ He also set out the overall mission of the night: to „fight for a government that is open, forward-looking, rational, and humane — and we plan to rock the joint while doing so.“ Next, Bruce introduced opening act Bright Eyes as „someone whose record floored me when it came out.“
After a solid 30-minute Bright Eyes set, Springsteen returned around 8:30 to introduce REM by saying that they had inspired him for the last 20 years. (REM played for an hour; for the REM setlist watchers: The One I Love/Begin the Begin/Leaving New York/Animal/World Leader Pretend/Final Straw/She Just Wants to Be/Bad Day/Around the Sun/Losing My Religion/Walk Unafraid/Man on the Moon.) Bruce shared lead vocals with Stipe on the set-closing „Man on the Moon,“ having fun goofing on Elvis. Hey baby!
Main Set Notes: Shortly after 10:00, Bruce and the E Street Band took the stage for a two-hour set, beginning with Bruce's solo instrumental, 12-string accoustic version of „The Star-Spangled Banner.“ That led into a relentless, high-intensity opening barrage with not a moment wasted — those first eight songs formed a tight, thematic segment that rocked nonstop, including a full-band version of „Born in the U.S.A.,“ „Lost in the Flood,“ and the very welcome return of the full-band „Johnny 99“ from the very end of the Rising tour.
John Fogerty came out for 4 songs backed by Bruce and the band, including a hard-driving „Fortunate Son“ (a real highlight of the night) and ending by trading off vocals with Bruce on „The Promised Land.“ Guests came and went for much of the rest of the 19 song set, with Patti Smith devotee Stipe joining in for „Because the Night“ (Stipe and Springsteen trading off on the Smith version of the lyric), REM's Mike Mills and Peter Buck clearly having a blast on „Born to Run,“ Fogerty on „Proud Mary,“ and all the night's performers on „(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding“ and an explosive closer of Patti Smith's „People Have the Power.“
Along with some laying-on-of-hands preacher shtick, „Mary's Place“ included a new PSA („The moment everyone's been waiting for…my Public Service Announcement!“) that was tailor-made for an evening of inspirational words and music: „We remain a land of great promise, but we need to move America toward the fulfillment of that promise.“
Setlist: Man on the Moon (with REM)//The Star-Spangled Banner/Born in the U.S.A./Badlands/No Surrender/Lonesome Day/Lost in the Flood/Johnny 99/Youngstown/Centerfield (with Fogerty)/Deja Vu All Over Again (with Fogerty)/Fortunate Son (with Fogerty)/The Promised Land (with Fogerty)/The Rising/Because the Night (with Stipe)/Mary's Place/Born to Run (with Mills and Buck)//Proud Mary (with Fogerty)/(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (with all)/People Have the Power (with all)October 2 / Cleveland, OH / Gund Arena
Notes: Night Two brings two changes to the Springsteen set, with „The River“ in for „Lost in the Flood“ and „Bad Moon Rising“ replacing „Proud Mary.“ Highlights again include „Because the Night“ (with Michael Stipe) and „Fortunate Son,“ with a non-stop-hopping John Fogerty having a blast. R.E.M. (the „pearls before the swine,“ as Bruce says) shook up their set a bit more, including „Cuyahoga,“ „Life and How to Live It“ and „Imitation of Life.“ Springsteen joined them for two songs this time: „Man on the Moon“ again, plus „Bad Day“ with a scorching Bruce guitar lead to close.
Setlist: Bad Day (with REM)/Man on the Moon (with REM)//The Star-Spangled Banner/Born in the U.S.A./Badlands/No Surrender/Lonesome Day/The River/Johnny 99/Youngstown/Centerfield (with Fogerty)/Deja Vu All Over Again (with Fogerty)/Fortunate Son (with Fogerty)/The Promised Land (with Fogerty)/The Rising/Because the Night (with Stipe)/Mary's Place/Born to Run (with Mills and Buck)//Bad Moon Rising (with Fogerty)/(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (with all)/People Have the Power (with all)--

October 3 / Detroit, MI / Cobo Arena
Notes: Stringent union rules in the Motor City had the show running at a faster clip, and it was over well before midnight; but still a two-hour set for Bruce and the E Streeters, who played from 9:42 – 11:35. Three main changes in their set, with „The Ties That Bind“ replacing „Lonesome Day,“ „Darkness on the Edge of Town“ in the „Lost in the Flood“/“River“ slot, and „Travelin' Band“ the CCR song of choice to kick off the encore. In addition to the post-„Mary's Place“ PSA, and the pre-recorded interview clips that run between acts (featuring Bruce, Max, and other VFC artists), Bruce makes some state-specific comments before „Johnny 99“: „Michigan has been particularly hard-hit. 140,000 manufacturing jobs gone. 7,500 citizens serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. We salute them and honor their service, and want them home as soon as possible.“
The encore each night has included all the performers– enlivened, it oughtta be said, by Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), holding his own among legends — and tonight the stage was even more packed by the end. Special guests the Dixie Chicks showed up for the final song, fresh from their Fox Theater gig. Bruce asked, „You girls haven't started any trouble, have you?“ That show closer, „People Have the Power,“ was written by Patti Smith while she was living in Detroit, inspired by a Diego Rivera mural at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
For R.E.M set watchers („We drew straws,“ says Bruce, „and you're gonna hear beauty before age tonight“), this show finally brought „Exhuming McCarthy“ — and as Document fans, we're holding out hope for „Finest Worksong“ with Bruce before tour's end. Tonight, Springsteen joined them again for „Bad Day“ and „Man on the Moon,“ trading verses on the latter.Setlist: Bad Day (with REM)/Man on the Moon (with REM)//The Star-Spangled Banner/Born in the U.S.A./Badlands/No Surrender/The Ties That Bind/Darkness on the Edge of Town/Johnny 99/Youngstown/Centerfield (with Fogerty)/Deja Vu All Over Again (with Fogerty)/Fortunate Son (with Fogerty)/The Promised Land (with Fogerty)/The Rising/Because the Night (with Stipe)/Mary's Place/Born to Run (with Mills and Buck)//Travelin' Band (with Fogerty)/(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (with all)/People Have the Power (with all, plus the Dixie Chicks)

Saffer on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/stefansafferUnd auch das zweite VFC-Package hat jetzt ins Geschehen eingegriffen:
Pearl Jam/Death Cab for Cutie:
Pearl Jam began their stint on the Vote for Change tour on Friday in Reading, Pennsylvania, but before they took the stage, attendees were treated to a short, acoustic set by lead singer Eddie Vedder and a performance by actor Tim Robbins, who played electric guitar as the satirical character Bob Roberts from the politically-charged movie of the same name.
Pearl Jam peppered its 140-minute set with covers of John Lennon's „Gimme Some Truth“ and Bob Dylan's anti-war indictment „Masters of War.“ Vedder jokingly compared a person's politics to his hairstyle: „If you think about it, being undecided is really dangerous, and I have a perfect example: people with mullets. That's indecision… 'Do I want it short? Do I want it long? I just can't take a stand.'“
In Toledo the next night, Vedder had much more to say: „Four percent of the whole U.S. population is in Ohio. You account for twenty-five percent of the jobs that have been lost in the last four years. That's staggering. And this is a swing state?“
John Mellencamp/Kenneth „Babyface“ Edmonds:
„It's what you do, and not what you say/ If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way,“ sang John Mellencamp, performing „Peaceful World“ on Friday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Mellencamp, who performed songs like „We Are the People,“ said, „I don't really like politics and try to stay out of it. But for some reason, this year, I had to get involved.“
Midway through the show, Edmonds performed a short set that included „Change the World“ and a version of John Lennon's iconic „Imagine.“ Mellencamp returned after Edmonds' set, with hits like „Jack and Diane“ and „Small Town.“
Dave Matthews Band/Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals/My Morning Jacket:
„You probably know why I'm here and who I'm going to vote for, but democracy depends on whole participation,“ Dave Matthews told concertgoers on Saturday in Dayton, Ohio. „So please vote, whoever you're voting for.“
„Now we'll play, that's what we came for,“ he continued, and Matthews led his band through a career-spanning, two-hour show which included „Everyday“ and „Tripping Billies.“
Later on during that same show, Matthews was booed by a group of protesters carrying signs reading, „Vote W-Right,“ „Honk Four Bush“ and „Dave Fan, But Bush-Cheney in '04.“
Ben Harper led his band the Innocent Criminals through an hour-long set comprising hits like „Excuse Me Mr.“ and „Steal My Kisses.“
James Taylor/Dixie Chicks:
James Taylor and the Dixie Chicks shared the stage on Friday in Pittsburgh and Saturday in Cleveland. They also shared a backing band and vocal duties, harmonizing on songs like Taylor's „Sweet Baby James,“ with Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines on lead vocals. In turn, Taylor performed main vocal duties on the Chicks' „Some Days You Gotta Dance.“While the Dixie Chicks were lambasted by angry fans for their past anti-Bush comments, it was Taylor who provided much of the evening's commentary. In Cleveland, Taylor quipped, „I think our guy did pretty good the other night, don't you think?“ in reference to Kerry's performance in the debates. „You look at the two candidates, and you vote for the smarter one.“
Maine's only charged comment came in response to a review from Pittsburgh. The critic reportedly noted that Maines looked „heavy“ after giving birth just months ago, inciting Maines to respond, „To that, I say, 'Fuck you!' Let him try having a baby and see how he looks after the second one.“ The Chicks dedicated their song „Travelin' Soldiers“ to the troops overseas, while Taylor dedicated „Carolina on My Mind“ to vice-presidential nominee John Edwards.
Jackson Browne/Bonnie Raitt/Keb' Mo':
A Jackson Browne/Bonnie Raitt-headlined bill began earlier than other Vote for Change shows with performances last week in Phoenix and Seattle.
„This is a good time for the blues for what ails you,“ Raitt told a Phoenix crowd during her hour-long set, which included covers of songs by Randy Newman and John Prine. Collaborations included a Browne/Raitt duet on „Thing Called Love“ and a joint performance between Raitt and David Crosby and Graham Nash on „Love Has No Pride.“ Keb' Mo' did not perform in Phoenix for personal reasons, though he did appear in Seattle, where he offered his own rendition of „(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.“

Notes: Nothing ragged about this one–just full-on guitar glory as Neil Young came out and cranked up the energy for the best VFC show yet. „Any Canadians for Kerry in the house? I thought I saw one here earlier…“ said Bruce. And yeah, Young had been out earlier for „Country Feedback“ with REM, but that didn't diminish the „holy shit“ factor as Neil faced off with Bruce for monster jam on „Souls of the Departed“ and a fierce „All Along the Watchtower.“ Even Clarence got swept away. Blow, Big Man, blow! Wail, Shakey, wail! And the wind began to howl… Neil was back in the encores trading off vocals with Bruce on „Rockin' in the Free World“ along with Fogerty, all of REM, and Neil's wife Pegi. Fogerty got a huge cheer when he announced „I got a final score for you: Minnesota Twins 2, Yankees nothin'!“ Yeah, everything seemed to go the Twin Cities' way tonight. At the end of the show, Bruce presented Conor Oberst with a commemorative jacket to mark the end of his run with the tour. Bright Eyes, we'll miss you in Orlando–that's the next stop, Friday night.
Setlist: Bad Day (with REM)/Man on the Moon (with REM)//The Star-Spangled Banner/Born in the U.S.A./Badlands/No Surrender/Lonesome Day/The River/Souls of the Departed (with Neil Young)/All Along the Watchtower (with Young)/Johnny 99/Centerfield (with Fogerty)/Deja Vu All Over Again (with Fogerty)/Fortunate Son (with Fogerty)/The Promised Land (with Fogerty)/The Rising/Because the Night (with Stipe)/Mary's Place/Born to Run (with Mills and Buck)//Proud Mary (with Fogerty)/Rockin' in the Free World (with REM, Fogerty, Neil and Pegi Young)/(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (with all)/People Have the Power (with all)--

Saffer on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/stefansafferIch hatte es mir im Real Webcast angeschaut. Am Ende doch sehr gespaltenes Urteil. Klar die Acts von denen ich es erwartet hatte (R.E.M, Pearl Jam, James Taylor und Bruuuuuuuuuuuce) waren große Klasse, aber vieles war in meinen Augen einfach nur langweilig. Babyface oder z.b Jurrasic 5 haben halt garnicht reingepasst. Stimung in der Halle war beim Boss grandios, bei Pearl Jam und R.E.M erträglich und bei den andern Acts halbtot. Die Backstage-Bilder waren teilweise shcon sehr lustig….Michael Stipe beim Zähne putten oder beim üben von Burn to Run oder wie Springsteen zu Stipe geht und in seiner Don Corleone Gedächtnisstimme sagt „Hey Michael…..I´ve learned some R.E.M Songs“….grandios.
