Why not play them live?

I was giving 'waiting for the sirens call' a new listen yesterday, after putting it aside for a few weeks, and during this listening i found that the album had gained more power and the songs came out great! So i thought 'why oh why not perform Hey Joe, Turn or Dracula's castle' live?? i mean, such great tracks...they need to be heard out live don't u think?

If they play 6 tracks from the new album there's hardly space for the old stuff... Perhaps someday they will fill in one or another of them...

That's not a good answer Bere...

For Get Ready, we got Crystal, 60 MAH, Turn My Way, Slow Jam, Close Range, Rock The Shack and now Run Wild, that makes 7 of them.

We got only 4 from WFTSC.

I can't even think about their dilemma next year when they will have probably 3 other singles from the even newer album... they will have to remove something from the setlist to make some room...

Here's hope they won't do festivals only next year.

They won't play Jetstream or Krafty any more, which will make way for Turn.

I doubt they'll keep WFTSC in, despite the fact that they are (rightly) so proud of it. It seems so hard to play - it was the only one that sounded messy at Glasto, and the problem with Barney having to sing two things at once has not been resolved to anyone's satisfaction (well, mine anyway).

Run Wild can stay for me - especially now the Autocue seems to have been put right. Hooky should work on the bass bit though - didn't sound anything like as good as the studio recording and it's my favourite bit of the track. The melodica should be live too - it's not right to have the lead instrument coming from the tape machine.

I thought about 6 of them in one set... Did they play 7 from "Get Ready" in one set?

I didn't want to say that they just should play the singles... I think they always try a nice mix of their work (new and old) and someday there will be perhaps "Turn" or "Hey Joe". (They played "Paradise" in 98, so why not :) )
