Looking at last year's, I didn't really miss Melisseridge or Rufus W or Mr/Ms DiFranco. Nice that there are so many songs to choose from that the set can change from year to year.
No kidding. Only four repeats between this year and last. (I haven't checked back to see what AL played in 2009, but I will.) What makes that really significant is that for the six Pride sets listed in the Shraytabase (2002 and 2004-08), there are only 17 different songs among all of them. Dave had his favorites, and for the most part he stuck to them.
Full disclosure: Three of those sets, 2005, 2006 and 2007, have identical setlists. 2006 is listed as a repeat of the previous year, but 2007 is noted as being a "dupe setlist but not classic." So does that mean Dave just played the same 10 songs in the same order, with a live intro and backsell?
ETA: Here's AL's first Pride setlist from 2009. And the same four songs turn up again: Sylvester, Carl Bean, Blur, and Polyphonic Spree, plus the Ani diFranco song appeared in 09 and 10 but dropped out this year. So I guess AL has her faves just as Dave did.
