[kj] Hammersmith highlights

[Paul Rangecroft]

Seems Youth is no more keen on Revelations now than he was at the time.
Tragedy. Fire Dances is the most "Raven" of all the albums so maybe he's not
keen to revisit that either. BTaTS wasn't the easiest album to perform live
although they seemed to do ok on the BBC CD. OTG - forget it. ED&VRE was
written to be performed live. Very sad that they've decided to neglect this
one. Inexplicable and inexcusable! Democracy and HFtBoH possibly considered
weak albums. Looks like we're doomed to hear first album, Pssyche, Change,
plus new stuff and a few over-familiar "classics". Don't get me wrong, gigs
are still great. When you're there the songs come to life all over again and
even Requiem, which I lost interest in years ago (the studio version) is
awesome. Just bit of a shame we're missing out on even better experiences.

Pleased to hear talk of a new album but hope they don't rush it and we have
another Democracy on our hands. Can't believe I'm saying it but: take you
time, lads!
