Your euro set list?

I'm not into hearing entire albums played in concert, myself.Any Stranglers album.

I sort of agree. However, it does get the band to play songs which don’t normally get through the sift for the live set (Enough Time was awesome on the recent Black and White tour). Also more conceptual / themed pieces could work well (I'd quite like them to have a go at the whole of Gospel).
For the new tour, Ideally we get 4 or 5 off the new album, within a selection from across their career, including a couple of oddities never or hardly ever played, or not played for a long time.

Good points said i also would also love them to have a go at Gospel the full album at some point,i think the themed nights are good because you get to hear again those fantastic album tracks that they would never normally play live.The only thing for me and it's a not a dig but some of the tracks would never sound quite the same .....No hugh.

Won't happen..Baz is not fond of the masterpiece at all.

Although I don’t see them doing something like that again, when they did B&W it was the winner of a fan vote, so if they offered again and Gospel won I think they’d play it (same as if Gospel had won then they would’ve played it).

Greatest Hits setlist. 85% MKI/Hugh with a sprinkling of DM and a couple of others.

Yes they did your right there's another one from the floored masterpiece of an album.....thanks for reminding me .

What sort of floor would that be, then? Wood? Marble?

Unless you mean "flawed masterpiece", which I think is how a critic in Q Magazine once referred to The Gospel, in which case that's also wrong. It's a masterpiece, plain and simple - no "flawed" about it. The thing is with The Gospel is that what people tend to perceive as flaws are actually an essential part of the character of the record.

Finally, yeah - this is what is most likely to happen. Given that the band are evidently planning to make as much money as possible from whatever the hell this post-Dave venture is, they're not going to squander that by playing the entirety of The Gospel, and thank fuck for that. The band that made that record no longer exist and there's no possible way they could exist, and whatever this band is would only ruin it. Particularly since their current guitarist/vocalist isn't into the record. Although that hasn't stopped him from playing songs from it in the past in exchange for some dosh, of course.

Full album themed nights have always been a great night out and that goes for Hugh's too,well he's always natually good.

Exactly B&W was a winner with the fans like you say so Gospel maybe in time i think would be another winner too with the fans i would imagine and we would get to hear their version of Hallow and Second Coming,i wouldn't know if Baz does or doesn't like Gospel,anyway let's see how their first tour goes and just what they plan to do in time.

Yes your right Stan i phrased it wrongly, it's an underated masterpiece that never got it's fully deserved recognition that it should of got but never did,but us fans know just how good it was and still is which is the main thing...A Masterpiece Set in Stone.
