Songs you'd like to hear return
So apart from the dark matters album, seeing the stranglers over the past few years it's all the same thing. Hopefully with Toby we can maybe see some rarities played

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
Aside from a few off DM - I don't think "The Stranglers" have attempted anything other than greatest hits in the last decade have they? I can't see them doing it now. Greatest Hits are a safe bet. I reckon Toby would like to have a crack at other stuff though.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
Well, there was the entire Black and White album tour, intended to play the less popular stuff from that particular album, so not entirely without change, although I can't remember when that was now. There's loads of stuff I'd probably like to hear live, but I'm not interested in songs being played live just because they haven't been done, because there's usually a reason for that. I'm not sure "Sinister" would work, but the other two mentioned could.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
Actually its the opposite in the last 10 years they have played lots of different tunes far more diverse than most 40 year old bands.theraven1979 wrote: ↑14 Dec 2022, 10:01 Aside from a few off DM - I don't think "The Stranglers" have attempted anything other than greatest hits in the last decade have they?

Toulouse-London Lady-Sometimes-Hang Ar-Princess-Sewer (in fact only Ugly has not been played)
Wog-Burning-Peasant-Deadringer-English T-Bitching-Dagenham-Nubiles (only School Mam not played)
Everything from B & W
Longships-Raven-Harry-Ice-Genitix- (Dead loss has not been been played, Sha Sha and Men in Black not played for 40 odd years)
things get a bit thinner after that with the 5th as Waltz-Turn and i think Manna are virgins. (2nd coming- hallow and waiting for the MIB are unplayed for 40 years) La Folie has plenty of virgins are several like (Non Stop- Family-Pin Up-HTFTL&H are unplayed for a while)
My 3 I would like to hear.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
None as they would never be as good now.Stick to the hits as that's what most people want.Lt Kudu.
Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
Fantastic, one of the highlights of that era, no way the current line up would even think of doing that one ....Sinister

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
I would agree the live list is a bit stale. Ive said it before, its like going to the same gig again - and again. The B&W tour did not make it down under and I would have loved that one. Here is some I have not heard for a few decades live:
Genetix
Family
Second Coming
Nothing on Earth
Sewer - cant remember that for a very long time here.
Shah
Tramp
It easier to say what you would like dropped now.
Golden Brown
Walk on By
Always the Sun
Strange Little Girl
and dare i even say Peaches and No More Heroes. Tank is played just as much, but I do love that one live.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
Even if they do carry on with the tired old Greatest Hits tour then at least mix it up a bit. Maybe put Heroes right at the start like they did in the early 90s.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return
It would be great if they did an "Obscurities" tour, playing non-hits and rarities - I am sure they could still fill good sized venues with such a tour, and it would be such a treat for us die-hard fans!
Sil - pls consider it!
