Because it's the greatest song of all time.

I'm so bored of Faster live.

I've always considered P.C.P. to be at least its equal, if not better.

and PCP would go down great. Don't know why they never play it, it's sad.

Same here. My insanely futile ambition to hear every track from every album live needs these songs to happen again at some point

Sadder still since it was suggested by James that we'd hear it on this tour.

They do it every three or four years though. Some German festival in '07 and two Lifeblood dates in '04. A few gigs and Glastonbury in the late '90s too. I am a bit gutted I haven't seen them do it yet, but I'll just keep going to gigs until I see it, dammit!

I've seen the cunts 37 times and I've only seen P.C.P. twice: Newport 1996 (my very first MSP gig) and Glastonbury 1999.

Idiots (them, not you).

I'm on 33, and still no PCP, Elvis Impersonator, Ready For Drowning...

And yet, I've seen them play Starlover. Odd fuckers!

44 and no PCP or ready for drowning (latter really sucked as I did like 8 dates on that tour and missed at every one - even asked James if he'd play it and he didn't lol).

So, since September this is it:

La Tristesse Durura (acoustic & full band)
Life Becoming A Landslide

Of Walking Abortion

Can't Take My Eyes Off You (acoustic)

No Surface All Feeling
A Design For Life

Works out as near enough three unique sets if you include the acoustics, could be a hell of a lot worse. Shame I missed Ready For Drowning again, would've loved to see The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever, too.

They should play it just after My Little Empire or something easy for James before the acoustic break and let Nicky do Wattsville Blues, William's Last Words or The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever or something while James recovers

When was Ocean Spray done acoustically. Counting that I saw all of them save 5, could be worse, makes me feel a lot more grateful.

Probably, can't not have? Can't think where though.
