Welcome to the 18th edition of Saturday questions. Looks like the last week's question regarding your dream setlists for Red Hot Chili Peppers' shows was so popular that it got more comments than some of posts regarding The Empyrean and John's blog. Well, this week's question is similar. And, of course, it should not be taken too seriously and it's not implying anything...in case that was not obvious.
You get to pick a setlist for one of John's solo shows, no matter where and when. You can pick 25 songs, counting cover songs too, and you can add anything you would consider fitting, whenever you like. So, what's your dream setlist for a JF show?

Just let him play what he wants to play. As long as he does play the full 25 songs.
Who needs a setlist?
I agree - i think that his solo shows should be completely up in the air. The RHCP setlist is another story - they are too mainstream to not have a 'perfect setlist'.
Some covers I'd hope to hear:
Snowblind
Lounge Act
First Half=Solo
1 Time Runs Out
2 How High
3 Past Recedes
4 Untitled 3
5 My Smile Is A Rifle
6 Carvel
7 Tiny Dancer
8 Going Inside
9 Control
10 Been Insane
11 The Worlds Edge
12 So Would've I
13 Representing
Jam
14 Murderers/Ramparts
15 Ethiopian Song
16 Ten To Butter Blood Voodoo
Second Half=With Backing Band
17Unreachable
18Havanna Affair
19This Cold
20Heaven
21Your Pussy's Glued (Solo)
22Time Tonight (Solo)
Encore
23 Anne (Backing Band)
24 Will To Death (Solo)
25 Central (Full Backing Band)
Thank you Iva for checking that we can still make an addition to make sure we are perfectly sane before posting comments
You know, what is great about our dream setlists is that it MIGHT give ideas to some people about what they MIGHT play... You never know what MIGHT happen when bottles are thrown to the sea - apart from their polluting waters !

I don't feel entitled to answer this question as I just begun to collect his work but I would like to play. I would love to see him perform his songs from The Brown Bunny, Representing, Time Tonight, The Past Recedes, Central and Mascara. Anything he would select to perform whether his own work or any cover songs would be amazing. It would just be a wonderful night.
