This is the (confirmed) setlist.
I sent it to TV ("That looks just about right") and he pointed out a few corrections.

When I finally find the club I say "hello" to Ilove & Wolfgang, good to see them again. (Later, I see Meike in the audience, always nice to meet some TUTS.)
Inside, I am prepared to pay, but I'm told it is a kind of "members only" show, so I'm asked to fill in the membership form; apparently you can get a refund when you return within a week (I guess I won't, it's just too far)!
Well, if I can get to see TV and two support acts for only 10 Euro, of course I'll be the first one to sign up!
After this is done, I get to say "hi" to Sally and Tim, always nice to see them.
A support band ("The Beltroses" from Freiburg) is alreay playing, they do rather quiet, acoustic folk & gospel & country-flavoured stuff (guitar, banjo...), including the traditional "Ain't no grave".
After them it's a project called "From 7 to 7" (from Frankfurt), also playing folk & country stuff, including a nice cover of the Rolling Stones' "Dead Roses".
To fit into this "scene", TV starts his gig with what he calls his (kind of) "gospel" song "True Believers", which is a great idea!
What follows are a few "rarities", mixed up with new songs and "the hits". For me it's special to hear "First one to sign up", "This year, next year", "Second Class Citizens", "Bring the bull down" etc.!
The show is full of energy and the audience do a good job of singing along to "The Drink".
The first encore "Only 1 Flavour" is played after someone shouts for it.
Afterwards, everyone seems happy with this gig.
While I've been too busy enjoying the concert to take notes, when it's over I go out to my car, trying to put down the setlist on a piece of paper. Soon I go back inside, to get help from TV, he can fill in a few blanks.
Sally has made some beautiful pieces out of TV's used guitar strings (on offer at the merch table), one day I'll buy one for a special person, I hope.
After a drive of 1,5 hours I'm finally in my hometown, where I see a police car... of course I'm the only driver here in the resident streets, so they do pull me over, wanna see my driver's licence etc. I only had one little beer, so everything's OK and they finally let me go...
