If you had the chance...

[JillKristen]

I know we have probably done this in one way or another, but if you had the chance to influence the band and add 5 songs to the setlist what would they be? Since the setlist has been a hot topic I am just curious to see if the lists are diverse or similar. Here's mine:

1. The Music Must Change
2. Pure and Easy
3. I Can't Reach You
4. Let's See Action
5. Sea and Sand or Dr. Jimmy (I'd be happy with either one)

[BillyBill]

1. A Quick One While He's Away
2. The Song Is Over
3. Join Together
4. Young Man Blues
5. Shakin All Over or any By Numbers song (other than Squeeze Box)

[Ineedanewname]

Well, off the top of my head here's my 5, though to be honest I don't think the current line-up could really do most of them justice.

In no particular order (and I'll probably change my mind in half an hour anyway!):

Young Man Blues
Put The Money Down
Dreaming From The Waist
Much Too Much
Join Together

I would love to have listed See For Miles, but I have a nasty feeling they'd end up doing it 1989 stylee rather than stripping it to it's bare bones and just rocking out.

That one came close for me as well.

They did it once in 2002 and apparently it didn't go well. What exactly went wrong, I'm not sure. There was a rehearsal video of it posted on Pete's site before the tour that I thought was pretty good myself. A bit shaky in parts, and they weren't really going "full tilt", but it was a rehearsal so that's understandable. I definetely feel it was better than the '89 version though. But as far as how it actually went onstage, no idea. I'd love to hear a recording.

[Ralf]

Dr. Jimmy
Join Together
The Real Me
Baby don't you do it
Young Man Blues

Was inclined to add Old Red Wine in a full version(!) including the middle section instead of Young Man Blues - for curiosity - might be a good song live if played complete.

[lordchaos]

Young Man Blues(must go back in the set)
Baby Dont You Do It
Trick of The Light
Song is Over
The Real Me

I agree, I really wish they would play the whole thing. That "back home in California" bit where Pete joins in on vocals is probably my favorite part of the song. Well, the riff at the end is actually, but that part is close.

And, Baby Don't You Do It is yet another one that came close for me.

[Ralf]

BillyBill, I couldn't agree more: the 'Back home in California' part is classic WHO - just don't understand why they left this part out.....

[rollingmule]

hell this should be easy:Doctor Jimmy, Join Together,Water,Is It In My Head,Goin Mobille, ah i could die a happyman if them songs was played eh Ralf or How Many Friends or Hand me my Ceckbook i cant remeber the name o the tune.

[rollingmule]

it sounded damn good to me in 02, i dunno why they don,t play it, i bet petes still p****d ya,ll English folks didn,t buy it when it came out. i always read were he said "I spat on the British record buyer" damn near a quote too cuz it didn,t hit no 1.he still p****d off
