Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

It probably is Top Secret yes. An interesting choice, one of the best b sides they did. Still, one would prefer Turn The Centuries or Aint Nothing To It or Blue Sister....

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

That "banter" was cringey for sure, but it was also over 15 years ago, so I don't think he would say it now...
Baz still says that often doesn't he?

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

The Baz one sounds like some guy in a tribute band talking about how great the original band were Which is pretty much the case 8) I'm very confused... ok so John says that he's very proud of Golden Brown but if I remember correctly he didn't even play bass on the original recording because he desp...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I seem to remember JJ did not like Tomorrow Was at all so it would be surprising to get that. I could be wrong though.

Re: Strangler in the light

How many did dave write if any?
Not sure - I think he was more involved in the arranging and putting the icing on the cake so to say. Having said that, Dave did write the music to Golden Brown which remains their biggest success!

Re: Strangler in the light

Intresting who wrote what and how many I wonder how many Hugh did write between 77-83 i'd guess definitely more than half,they both certainly wrote a lot each for sure and did work and feed off eachother so very well whoever orginally wrote the song or idea.....they especially in those more earlier...
