Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I can't ban someone just cos you disagree with their viewpoint. I'd ban about 25% of people on here if that was the case. With the rest of your comments. Yeah you're agreeing with my point about it being a nostalgia fest; I don't think the band and some of the fans accept that though. Not only is it...

Which is boring,JJ always says we change set every night.Major Kudu.
They only change the set a little if a song isn't working.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I think this lineup and tour was always going to be questioned. As there's only JJ in the band and if I recall the last tour was supposed to be "the final tour" or whatever. The tours lean more and more on the MKI years and it's always an "anniversary" or "greatest hits"...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Yeah I'd agree with that but this is no different to JJ and friends Jim I'd say Hugh is going the other way. His recent tour comprised of more solo stuff than Stranglers songs and they were sprinkled in the set. I think he'd like to do less but he knows there's some classic Stranglers stuff that the...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

There's nothing to stop him celebrating 50 years of a music career (The Stranglers being a part of that).

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

This is no different to the last 15 years of "Greatest Hits" tours and "anniversaries". It's a nostalgia fest and it tops up the pension. Appreciate I am stating the ruddy obvious but I think some people feel the band are doing something ground-breaking, new or experimental. At b...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Just heard Ships That Pass In The Night on Youtube. Sounds great! Yes it was a good version I've not long heard it and it's a song for a long time baz has liked and I think he wanted to do. I've also just heard Genetix too and obviously nobody can replicate Dave's way of singing this song with his ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Just watched some footage of the gigs with Baz and whilst singing Golden Brown on cue goes to the front of the stage mid song and holds his hands out like the messiah of stranglers song writing egging the crowd on to adore him and cheer. I wasn't going to say anything but i have never been a fan of...
