Yes.
All four have been most enjoyable though.
That'll do me until London

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Such miserable begrudgery on here.

Anyhow, loved the show last night on home turf in Belfast.
Best of the three so far, even though Baroque was, in JJ's words, a car crash

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Set 1 ... awesome. Just buzzing with it at the interval
Set 2 ... not so awesome. Played brilliantly but I'd ditch four or five of the old standards. That's just me, I suppose

That's what I hear...
Wee bit of familiarity in the lyrics too

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

Well, the streamed show was a pretty good 90 minutes with a decent pub band.
If Baz wants to sneer about halfwits voting to leave the EU, that's his call of course. Doesn't sit well with me though. I want a night out and a laugh, not that.
If he brings it to Stranglers gigs, I'm out...

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

Good tunes. Shallow lyrics, as one comes to expect from Baz.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return

Just drop ten, any ten, undroppable songs from the setlist.
Play ten different songs, any ten.

Just freshen it up.
Its putting me off going to Australia thinking I could write the setlist here right now.

Re: Rest of Aus their Rice....

I'd be more keen to build a wee holiday in Australia around this tour if the concert setlist wasn't entirely predictable ...

Re: Euro Tour - *SET LIST SPOILER*

Well, despite my fears, that gig tonight in Belfast was a belter. Much better than Dublin. Just great seeing them in a smaller pub venue. Crowd loved it.

'Dave' wasn't played tonight.

Re: Euro Tour - *SET LIST SPOILER*

Wasn't overly excited by the Dublin show last night. Its all a bit stale.
Hate going to Belfast tonight knowing there's nothing to surprise me
