French Tour Set Opener....

Duchess would be my choice

Great song, it would bring a tear to my eye thinking of Dave's downing his pint during the solo.....

It was knackering - never really got me breath back through the entire set.

1991-1995 Mark2 were an incredible Live Band.

Intresting well i didn't see them live betwern those years only bits i've seen on vids and youtube,so i can understand the electric energy for sure compared to '90 with Hugh,but for me when it comes down to what really matters and that's the music then they or any other mk with all the energy under the sun cannot compare to Mk1 musically and that's is it in a nutshell for me,but it is intresting that so many really enjoyed the band with Paul in those years and that's the main thing really that fans went to a gig and was blown away.

I thought you were at Brixton in June 91?

Yes i did for the first four songs worth post Hugh which i remember starting with 5 minutes which was the first time i saw Paul,but i don't count not being at a gig for a few songs worth,i didn't see the full gig and never saw them again as MK11 so i can't really comment on just how good they were through those years as a band not like the rest of you can who went religiously.

I meant 91 - Heroes then Threatened. I only saw this at Maine Road mind.

Jim

Opening with Heroes on the 92 (I think) tour was pretty fucking mental. Unsure whether my legs, body, heart could handle it now though


Jim

In 1992 they opened with Time To Die.

You mean Dreamtour 86/87.

I thought they started with 5 mins then into heroes at main Rd was at the gateshead gig and they started with 5 mins if my memory is correct

[theraven1979]

They changed the set. Annoyingly bt the time they got the Radio 1 broadcast they'd dropped Sewer!

I would start with heroes or hanging around which I never remember been a opener but I think water is a stick on

I'd probably choose something like Hanging Around as well. The only time I can recall them opening with it was Weyfest 2010 - think it might have been chucking it down so maybe the band were delayed coming on, hence Hanging Around.

It's going to have been the best part of 3 years since most of us have seen the band live come 2022 so it would be pretty apt again.

I don't think Hanging Around is a suitable opening number at all, it's a mid set song.

My prediction is Heroes ie the Stranglers song not the Bowie one, one of my unfunny jokes which I'm infamous for amongst my other Infamy and they all have it Infamy, and Carry on Fans would get this unfunny joke and I'm not a Gammon either as I don't eat meat but Fish, and I prefer Nile Perch to Snapper, I'm on a role this morning.

Agreed too...it's no opener for me either....you need classic belters and if they wont start with a classic old belter like heroes which i think could be a fitting start anyway and they want to start with a new DM one then for me it has to be ....Water!.....Waltzinwater lol
