done electric, TJSS wouldn't be the same without the live string section, and that fantastic acoustic to electric switchover bit; otherwise yeah, can see that in the acoustic set in future (it was wheeled out on several radio / store acoustic sessions round the album release wasn't it?).

other than that, i'd say just PA and JCEQT.

Agreed on the VSEC thing. I can't believe they hardly ever play it!

I would also be crushed if MJD, PA and JCEQT weren't in the set should I ever get to see them live...

JCEQT, M&SH and Marlon JD were the best live

Ok not true, WLW was best live, but its pretty certain it wont get played again

I never would have thought Marlon JD would stick around, even after they dropped it into the U.S. sets. But after James doing that acoustic version, I guess he/all of them must really consider it one of the strongest live tracks, so I'd give it a good chance now.

I'd say Apples and ol' Jackie will be set regulars in the future. Having not seen the Manics on the JFPL tour at all I'd be happy to see anything in the future from the album. Marlon JD would be good.

Marlon JD worked brilliantly well on the UK tour. The power chords in the chorus don't seem to come through so powerfully on the record. All is Vanity was pretty brutal too, though it's quite dark so maybe they think it would spoil the party mood.

I thought Peeled Apples was good live and after a hundred listens to the album also that it has the most staying power as a potential classic (whatever that means!) I'd bet it will get plenty of outings anyway. Jackie and Stephen are catchy, and also short and sweet so probably easy for the band to remember and drop in to a set when they feel like it.

Not sure about VSEC, it seemed a bit repetitive. If they played it a bit more like the demo version perhaps it would work better.

Anything else, well there isn't really a weak song but I'd be surprised if WLW is played much. If Nicky did a solo acoustic version next time James has a sore throat that would be awesome though!

M&SH hopefully, it's one of my favourite Manics songs

As long as Me And Steven Hawking is still in the set I'll be happy.
