Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Jet never lost interest in these matters. He never stopped reading books on this subject. Same goes for me. As a 15 year old when the record came out I became totally into all this and still am.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?
Brought to the band by Paul - would surprise me very much if JJ even remembers it.If they do something from MK2 I hope they consider In Heaven She Walks.
