Yeah, it was kinda weird only playing the singles on this latest leg, especially since SKON sounded flat. The singles aren't going to sell anymore now, so may as well play some album tracks on something you are still promoting.

SKON got more and more boring, are we going to reach the point where people have seen more of the bible played live than their most recent album?

I loved the live version of SKON at first, sounded a lot sadder than the album version. But yeah, bored of it now.

As for Auto-Intoxication and Don't Be Evil, I'd also like to hear them live.

Never much chance of it going the other way, frankly! I'm betting that's true for most of us though. Thinking about it, this is actually true not only for THB but for most of the pre-Postcards albums as well...

Regards,
Marwood.

I've seen them play five tracks from Gold Against The Soul and This Is My Truth. Shocking, given that they dislike some of Gold and it's shorter by a few tracks.

I've seen more of GATS than both GT and THB, they must like it more than they claim, silly Manics.

Looks like we're stuck with Wire's idea of how a gig should be rolled out! I enjoyed SKON and am definitely not bored of it!
