The crossed out songs on the setlist were performed. It was briefly thought they'd be moved to the 2nd set, but then they were restored to the 1st set. Video of the crossed out songs can be seen at www.myspace.com/jeffmilne2 then click the videos button. And it's on youtube at

Thanks for letting me play! I hope it's not the last time, but I hope the next time is under better circumstances, such as at my 100th show. hint, hint
