21. Let Robeson sing because clearly the Manics don't have a new album to promote or anything!

22. People give in, Naysmith needs to use the strings patch on the keyboard

23. Show me the wonder, we paid a lot from Gavin Fitzjohn god damnit and we're milking him for all he's worth

Wait a minute, last minute substitution...
23. Slash N burn! Out of tune backing vocals are in these days!

24. Design for life

You know, in all honesty, reading it as a list its not so bad.

YSTS, D&C, Horses, Faster, KC (ok maybe that's a lot) are the ones that I would change.

What a gorgeous setlist. I think Slash n Burn and Horses under Starlight go well with the album.

I just want the second half of RIF to get a foot in the setlist. Instead we get the songs that rely on backing tracks to fill out the soundscape.

I like Let Robeson Sing but it kills the crowd every time, use the slot for In Eternity or a song for the Sadness...

I can't say i'm hugely disappointed that i won't be seeing them this time based on the set list,
apart from the odd rarity like song for departure which i really would like to hear live.
Not fussed on forever delayed or horses under starlight really - as for the latter,
they have far better instrumentals that i'd be disappointed not to hear live.

Yep absolutely agree. In fact, it's absolutely ridiculous there is no sequels, BA, In Eternity, etc in the setlist. They really shouldn't be playing any EMG or THB in the set at all.

Yeah I agree.

I know they are playing Horses because of your man on the trumpet. Does he play guitar on other songs as well?

At least from the pictures looked like their was a decent crowd tonight!

As my train has broken down, here's what I think tonight's setlist should have looked like:

1. International Blue
2. No surface all feeling
3. You love us
4. You stole the sun
5. Your love alone
6. 4. Ever delayed
7. Dylan and Caitlyn
8. If you tolerate
9. A song for departure
10. Masses against the classes
11. Horses under starlight
12. Ocean Spray
13. People Give In
14. Tsunami Acoustic
15. Liverpool Revisited acoustic
16. Sequels for forgotten wars
17. Walk me to the bridge
18. Hold me like a heaven
19. Prologue to History
20. In Eternity
21. Motown Junk
22. Motorcycle Emptines
23. Design for life

Just back from the gig. Sleepflower acoustic was two verses and two choruses long
