[kj] Hammersmith highlights

[Jim Harper]

I've always thought 'The Hum' made a fantastic opener. What was the opener this time? BTW didn't 'Empire Song' (or was it 'The Pandys Are Coming'?) make an unscheduled appearance at the 2008 gigs? It looked like Geordie was responsible for that one.

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!

How was the sound? And does the general euphoria of the show compensate for what
I think is a slightly disappointing set list (in terms of the same old songs reappearing). Does
anyone hold out any chance of our fantasy set lists ever becoming reality or do you think
large chunks of the back catalogue will never again see the light of day? 
Just thinking aloud...
