[kj] Hammersmith highlights

[Rob Moss]

How about the fantasy nightmare setlist seeing as Halloween is coming?

Nil points to the one who says OTG in it's entirety!

Pick the worst song and add to the list. 

I start by offering

The Revelations era brings back too many bad memories for Youth, sadly. We should rejoice that we heard The Hum at the Forum. Jaz is completely off doing anything from BTATS live. I think he associates it with OTG and the break up of the band.

I would have also loved Sun Goes Down, Feast of Blaze or Dominator. Blood On Your Hands or something other than Asteroid from KJ2003 would have been good, too. How well would The Gathering go down!? You never know though. How many of us would have predicted three years ago that they'd be opening their set now with Tomorrow's World and playing Madness? Probably right about the Raven comment though - we're less likely to hear obscure songs from the albums he did.

> Seems Youth is no more keen on Revelations now than he was at the time. Tragedy. Fire Dances is the most "Raven" of all the albums so maybe he's not keen to revisit that either. BTaTS wasn't the easiest album to perform live although they seemed to do ok on the BBC CD. OTG - forget it. ED&VRE was written to be performed live. Very sad that they've decided to neglect this one. Inexplicable and inexcusable! Democracy and HFtBoH possibly considered weak albums. Looks like we're doomed to hear first album, Pssyche, Change, plus new stuff and a few over-familiar "classics". Don't get me wrong, gigs are still great. When you're there the songs come to life all over again and even Requiem, which I lost interest in years ago (the studio version) is awesome. Just bit of a shame we're missing out on even better experiences.
