Well not by us, but maybe by E.
I'm always surprised that two of my all-time fave tracks have disappeared off the playlist - Floorshow and Body Electric. I view Floorshow as nearly the equal of Alice which is quite rightly played all the time, and Body Electric could be superb with the latest sound.
But no. Maybe its just me, but far inferior songs (Burn, Anaconda ...) seem to appear much more.
Underrated sisters songs
Oi!â„¢
whats wrong with Burn?
Seriously tho...i have to agree...Floorshow was/is a total monster...and live it took on a personallity all of its own...Body Electric should be played every day IMHO...

'Burn' is just a stonking choon, and I STILL DIDNAE SEE IT LIVE!
Better ditch 'Romeo Down' (even with a live bassist, it just drags along without anything happening) and FFS 'Will I Dream?' (for the same reason as RD, but even more boring because it hass no live bass) for...oh...I dunno...
Fix, Valentine, LIGHTS!!!! (no bias at all, but I want to hear THAT doomcrusher-song live)...

I agree, really miss Floorshow, my all-time darling
Nine While Nine would be nice
...and of course a cover of "Sounds Like a Melody" by Alphaville

I really enjoyed Blood Money on the London 97 gig !!!! (indefinite tx to HL for that).
ok, it's definitely not one of the top sissies songs, but just that unexpectedness is awesome.
For that same reason: Good Things and the return of Body & Soul. Been played plenty in the past, but deserve a second life!

I would love to see them perform Blood Money and Possession ('91 version).
If they were to perform Floorshow they'd have to do it PROPERLY, none of that funny nineties garbage.
Why doesn't he play the older stuff? It's what we want, I would happily have ALL of the "new" stuff removed and replaced with the old stuff.
Don't get me wrong, the new stuff is good, but the old stuff is great. And there's no need for someone to type up a bloody great rant on how they've "moved on" i know they have, but wouldn't mind a nice oldie here and there

Some Kind Of Stranger on its own, all the way through.
Floorshow again.
I think Adrenochrome could be given a nice modern Ben & Chris metallic feel to it.
Can't agree with you Iz about Romeo Down... I adore it (with a live bassist) so much!!!

“I got lost in the mirror, wondering what could have been, I couldn’t help but kill her, but I couldn’t kill the dream.”
YCBTO is long overdue a live airing. The only VT-era song that hasn't had one yet.
I'd definitely say "yeah yeah yeah yeah" to that.
Coat, I know...

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Ben's band played Walk Away at one of their recent gigs. I think it's pretty evident that Ben (and probably Chris) want to play the old stuff, why doesn't Andrew?
Andrew described his opinion about the old songs as "Like looking at baby pictures".
They simply don´t match his ideas of quality music anymore, or don´t fit the picture he wants of the band he wants to transport. As simple as that, as incomprehensible to the fans..

p*ss poor excuse for not playing a top-notch tune.
I'd welcome another airing of Marianne and Fix though.
As well as Kiss The Carpet as the first song - sheer class!

He doesn't seem to want to play any songs that Wayne had a hand in. Look at the recent set-lists; two or three pre-1984 songs, plenty of post-1985 songs, none from the 84-85 period.
Or maybe he's just being deliberately awkward -- Thinks: OK, the songs from '84 to '85 would probably go down best, so I'll leave them out...

They played F&L&A on the tour, didn't Wayne have some involvement in that song?

I'm with mh, just think what a kick erse version this line-up would do of YCBTO.

I don't know but I suppose Von must rate this one pretty high.Dark wrote:Sister Ray.
Interesting how this thread has turned into "songs we want to hear performed live". That was predictable.
I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you

Perhaps also predictable that much the same songs would appear in both lists.Badlander wrote:I don't know but I suppose Von must rate this one pretty high.Dark wrote:Sister Ray.

OK, here's one:
The first half of ToL. In fact, just playing the first half, and leaving out the "extended" bit altogether would be good, but maybe Von is just plain sick to death of it by now?

I think it's about time Train was brought out of the box.
Always blew me away live (but not Long Train).
For sure Body Electric & perhaps Heartland (ahem...) would make a nice surprise.
