[kj] to play them live or not to play them live

[Leigh Newton]

That's it. They just don't have the fire that they used to in the 80s. It's what 
happens when you get older. Happens to every band eventually. 

There's also the thing that some songs just don't work when played live. When I 
saw them a few months ago, I actually thought ESS sounded pretty okay. The song 
that really stuck out as one they should lose was Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove. 
Fantastic song, does not work live. It's a studio track for sure. So 
sure, laziness is a major factor. But there's also the consideration of the 
setlist. What feels good, what flows nicely, what gets people pumped up, what 
puts people asleep, etc etc.

They're just fucking lazy Jamie!

They could all work but the pubs just too close by isn't it for some!
