JoCo's set lists, on the cruise! (now, with video and set lists)
For the historical record (and the benefit of us non-cruisers), could some kind Sea Monkey please provide the set list from Jonathan's show (or shows, if there was more than one)?
Also is there video/audio? It sounds like some shows were not allowed to be recorded. I assume Jonathan allowed recording as usual, but not certain...
EDIT:
Both full shows have been posted to YouTube. Thank you, @MJPM !

Edit: Sorry @Jmonkee, I am absolutely the worst person to ask for setlists. I neither take notes nor record.
(On a personal note, I was reminded during frantic open-mic prep that the piece I ended up reading was probably definitely "inspired by" the uses of "overhead"/"over head" in the chorus. Fortunately my license covers derivative works.)
On a somewhat related note, did he mention anything about future plans, musically speaking? It's been a couple years since he toured last, and two and a half since Artificial Heart. I'm wondering when (if) we'll see him out on the road again, or putting out new music!
Likewise, I don't know about any future plans. Maybe someone else heard something?
In the intro to the opening concert JoCo explained why he was playing deep cuts—when the recordings come out we can confirm. (: I seem to recall it being something about not wanting to play the same set all the time since this audience was likely to have seen the band show before, and since he didn't have any new material he mined old stuff. He also mentioned at some point (possibly not on stage) that while learning the new (old) songs, Christian and Adam asked him why they were playing these, since "you have GOOD songs!"
Regarding sets, I do recall that the first concert included Curl and Je Suis Rick Springfield, at some point Sara Watkins sang Want You Gone, and the closing show included The Week Between, Creepy Doll, and of course Sloop John B.
WYG is Want You Gone (not When You Go) Brand New is Brand New Sucker (not a brand new song) and Overhead and Mason are what you'd expect them to be.
I sang along to Overheard! And I wondered if @Bry's open mic piece (which was great, by the way! I was too busy wishing I'd written it to say so) was inspired by it.
You swing towels over heads, as you go by.
You sing about warm bread, and still I wonder why.
I asked him whether he'd be touring the UK this year, and he said there were no definite plans, and he'd been/was planning to(?) spend more time focusing on writing new music. So yay! And a little boo. But tours are for people who can get to them, and new music is for everybody. So mostly yay!
Now I Am an Arsonist actually debuted live, on JCCC1, but it didn't have Sara Watkins that time.
ETA: I remember it happening the way @stevendj said. And while I don't think the deep cuts were specific requests, I think I remember (though I can't find the forum thread; who do I look like, @Bry?) @Molly23 a few years ago requesting, and requesting us to request, I'm a Mason Now, or maybe it was Brand New Sucker, and she might have more influence (or more opportunities to influence) than others, so that could have had something to do with the choice of songs.
Were these all played with the band, by the way? Was there one band show, and one solo?
Also: Brand New Sucker! He's never played that before, has he? Bry also mentioned Pizza Day, which must have been the second show. Another one never played before.
The first show was all with the band; the second one started out acoustic and either solo or collaborating with other performers, but ended up with the band. Pizza Day was the first song in that concert.
When I saw the setlist, I wasn't sure if he'd even played Brand New Sucker, I'm a Mason Now or Overhead
before, but it looks like I'm a Mason Now and Overhead were both played in 2009, and according to the wiki Brand New Sucker had never been played live.
