Yes, I'm well aware that you aren't all fans, but I think this is pretty cool. (I'm going to see them in October

).

I'm really surprised to see that "To be with you again" isn't a top contender - just watching MK play that bassline would be worth the price of admission, IMO.

I voted for Heathrow, 88 and Fashion Fever! I'm seeing them this year too, might be in October, I can't remember!

That song has been on every setlist for the past 10 years or so, I guess most people take it for granted or don't need to hear it again. Very cool watching him play that one.

BTW, since there's no US Tour coming up anytime soon, I would highly recommend the last two live DVDs; Retroglide Live and Live at the Apollo. Mike Lindup joined again for the Retroglide tour, so that one is probably more authentic L42, but Apollo is great too. Both are available through the L42 website, and with a little luck Mark will sign it for you.

Yup, He signed mine

What a great way to get some of the esoteric tunes onto the setlist.

Before I saw the Reading DVD, I figured there would be no other way than this to ever see them play "You Can't Blame Louis".

My guess is that "You can't blame Louis" was included for similar reasons - I know that Mark asked the fans for suggestions back then too, and he once said in an interview that he was surprised by some of the requested tunes.

That would not surprise me. I really like that Reading setlist - it plays so heavy to the deep interior tracks and not so much to the Something About You/Chinese Way/The Sun Goes Down/Lessons In Love typical sequence. It would make sense that some fan input went into that one.
