I might've, if they'd come anywhere close this time, but I've seen 'em three times already, so let's hear how the current incarnation does, please.
Will they be in Minneapolis, Chigao or Kansas City on this tour? I can't afford to fly to see them but would be willing to drive.
Yep, I'm going to see the Bunnymen next week here in São Paulo. I interviewed Ian McCulloch a couple of months ago and he said they will play unusual stuff, songs from "Heaven Up Here" like "Show Of Strenght", "With A Hip" and "All I Want". I'm really looking forward to this gig.
Hopefully I'll be creadentialed as a photographer and I'll be able to post a few pictures here. Just don't tell my editor that! ;)

In San Francisco they played songs from almost every album. I don't have the setlist but glancing at their CD's will jog my memory.
Crocodiles, Show of Strength, Over the Wall, All My Colours, The Cutter, Back of Love, Heads Will Roll, Silver, The Killing Moon, Seven Seas, Ocean Rain, Bring on the Dancing Horses, Bedbugs and Ballyhoo, Lips Like Sugar, Nothing Lasts Forever/Walk on the Wild Side, Rust...
I don't think they played anything from Flowers. The Show opened with Show of Strength and the highlight for me was The Cutter. The Cutter is always great to hear but this rendition was especially powerful.

I got really angry last year cause they didn't play The Game(my favorite) last year at Finsbury Park. 
Haven't heard 'em play that since about 1987/8 ! CD of the Old Trafford set is available, as are hundreds of others (including ones with The Game on).
The Game video was filmed in Rio de Janeiro,funny one :D
If you know someone who's got any concert including The Game live,tell me please Tim

When ??? 
I went yesterday to the Bunnymen concert here in my hometown. As soon as I arrived at the venue I spotted Wayne Hussey (and his beautiful Brazilian wife) walking anonymously around the place. Much to my surprise, the venue wasn't very full. That was the third Bunnymen concert in four years in São Paulo, perhaps this could explain the lack of interest in this gig.
That was a good concert, however nowadays the Bunnymen are only half, or even less than half, of what they used to be. Pete and Les are unreplaceable and Ian can't sing like the old days anymore, tobacco and alcohol destroyed his voice. For me, the highlights were "Killing Moon", "Rescue" and "The Cutter", where surprisingly Ian's voice was magnificent.
Here's the complete setlist, filled almost entirely with classics. :)
Show Of Strenght
Rescue
Silver
Seven Seas
The Game
Rust
Crocodiles
Bring On The Dancing Horses
Bedbugs And Ballyhoo
Back Of Love
The Killing Moon
The Cutter
All My Colours
I'll Fly Tonight
Over The Wall
Do It Clean / Sex Machine / Roadhouse Blues
Nothing Lasts Forever / Walk On The Wild Side
Lips Like Sugar
Heads Will Roll
Ocean Rain
As promised, some pictures I took.

Very nice pics Ricardo, and also thanks for the concert review. Glad to see they played a couple of my faves from Heaven Up Here, which is my fave Bunnymen album.

Dynamite magazine. This "work" is more a hobby than anything else.
Oh, there is a review of the gig here (only in Portuguese, sorry).
Same set as the rest of the tour, but with Do It Clean restored. Note the relative lack of newer songs !
