Wonderful musician from my all-time favourite band, thanks for snaps
Everything else looked in standard tbh
Still dazzling how he never trips up on his lead when moving about. I don't move about much when playing, but could trip on my shadow easily enough.
Pretty sure it was:
Motorcycle Emptiness
Your Love alone
Everything Must Go
Found That Soul
A Design For Life
Autumnsong
She Sells Sanctuary
Enola/Alone
Complicated Illusions
You stole the sun....
From Despair to Where
Borderline (madge cover)
Tsunami
You Love Us
If you Tolerate
May have missed one or 2, not entirely sure on the new stuff, or the order it was played in, but it's about right.
Incredibly underrated guitarist. Legend has it that he has over 300 guitars. I'm glad he still brings out his 1990 Les Paul Custom as I know that he is a massive fan of the Troublemaker tele as it is essentially a Les Paul in a (lighter) tele body. But it still looks odd to me.
My favourite recent JDB guitar is the original 60-whatever Jazzmaster that he has been playing since the Holy Bible anniversary gigs. It is especially fantastic on his recent solo album "Even in Exile". Here is a video of the song "The Boy from the Plantation". Very War on Drugs-esque sounds on the riffs.

I think the only alt tuning on that setlist is Tsunami which is open G with a high C instead of D (so DGDGBC). There are loads of others in open G (or thereabouts) including Kevin Carter, Small Black Flowers.. and This Is Yesterday. Then you have My Little Empire which is something like EAEFAE
As for humbucky Teles, let's not forget Motorcycle Emptiness was a 72 Thinline Tele all those years ago.
Seriously into his guitars / rigs and openly discusses his passion in the guitar mags unlike a popular floppy fringed indie idol who feels discussing gear in the mags is like an artist stating what brushes he uses for his art...FFS...
Wouldn’t open my curtains if they were playing in my back garden these days, to be honest, but have to say JDB’s guitar sounds at the Holy Bible anniversary tour gig I saw were probably the best guitar sounds I’ve ever heard live.
And I’ve seen a few guitarists noted for their impeccable tone.
