Re: RAH

Magnificent audience participation at the Glasgow Apollo, as they sang their songs, and the crowd gradually worked out when the gaps would be, and then filled it in with “fu** off”. I seem to remember the little ditti they was singing had the lyrics "Why Dont You" then there was the space...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

The big question that has yet to be answered is has Stan ever seen the band or indeed Hugh live? Yes. It's totally irrelevant, though. Whether or not I've seen 1 gig or 10 gigs or 100 gigs or even 0 gigs doesn't change anything. It's a totally moot point. Besides, most people judge an artist on the...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Genetix, compare the pair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DVkVEghHE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNZP8Hdqa14 The 50th version, compared to the 40th. The 50th sound is poor and does not do the drums any justice, but I think Jim does a good job and Toby does not try and mimic Dave at all, there a...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Didnt I just read the other day that there are two sets ? The first set is a "rarities" and the second set, the "greatest hits" ? Toby seemed to mention that the setlist is "Top Secret" and they are going to play at least one song never played by any version of the Stra...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

It's going to be impossible to top the 1981 meninblack tour when they played shah into hallow. Just superb!!! Also why don't they do any song transitions anymore? I swear every tour during the mk1 era had atleast two songs that segued into each other. Really, I do not remember that at all. On Hallo...

Was she dumped because she was becoming too popular and putting Hugh in the shade ?
