Exactly, they are trying to tour the album still, it would be silly not to play any songs from it. I think they could pick better ones though....

Thought it was a bit daft that you could buy t-shirts with Don't Be Evil and I Think I've Found It on em but neither song's been played, probably never will now.

It's a shame the majority of Postcards has been ignored cos it's a fab album and deserved a proper outing. I would have bounced around like a loon to I Think I Found It, All We Make Is Entertainment and Don't Be Evil!

I could've done without seeing The Descent, it's a bit crap. Wish they'd done All We Make Is Entertainment or Don't Be Evil instead.

The only complaint I have with the mini-tour setlist is the lack of variety from Postcards.

Many round here would consider that a compliment

Would've been nice to get summat they hadn't been doing though.

Though i didn't like the album much I'd have born them little resentment had they played more, I'm sick of PFAYM and SKON but would honestly have enjoyed hearing more of any of the others except Hazelton Avenue (which sadly I did).

I thought the setlist at Cardiff was absolutely brilliant, and the setlists for this tour in general have been pretty strong. I really hope they keep things as interesting when they eventually come back.

Having said that... as genuinely wonderful as it was to hear songs like MLE, E/A, OWA, SSI and LRS, it is maybe a shame that they made the setlists more interesting by playing almost exactly the same set of 'rarities' as on the PPF tour.

I'm really pleased that newer fans got to hear this stuff live though, and glad for the chance to hear it again.

Regards,
Marwood.

It's a bit like their backup greatest hits set. I enjoyed it, but it would have been nice to hear some really dusted-off tracks. I am still amazed I have been seeing them for 10-11 years and I've only ever heard the singles plus My Little Empire off truth, which is their best selling album. Throwing in some of the bsides from the Lipstick Traces tour would be amazing.

Same, not to mention only one single off The Holy Bible.

But whatever, I've really enjoyed the setlists at Brixton and the recent ones, and selected dates last October (though I became bored with a few songs in particular).

The holy bible I've heard a good chunk of. I've not heard 4st7lb, mausoleum, ihoe or PCP, which I'd like to - but it's kinda surprising when people always say thats the one that's uncomfortable for them to play compared to truth.

Yeah, I feel much the same!

I really don't get why they 'have' to play Faster at every gig. I love it, but the casual fan won't be familiar with it and the hardcore would be happy with anything from The Holy Bible.
