Setlist choices is a topic that comes up from time to time. It's a weird one, I have seen them play quite a range over the years, especially when they've played full albums that included lesser performed album tracks, but then so often they do have a fairly predictable bunch of "standards". Then from time to time they throw out rare songs which don't stick around for whatever reason, the Bath gig before Glastonbury for example.

I personally would love to see more b-sides or unplayed album tracks in the set over the same handful of singles, maybe a rotating approaching like The Cure, but they seem to be unwilling a lot of the time. James has even said that he doesn't like it when he goes to gigs and artists avoid the hits.

I mean, that is kinda (like) amusing, but also such a shame! Sepia is a wonderful song, probably my favourite EMG b-side.
