imagine the moshpit if they played it, with YCBTO as the next song

Hands up who else voted for Sandstorm.

I have Sandstorm at my cellphone (all the cell phones actually) since my first device back at 90's as ringtone

But i didn't vote it

It seems we are more than i imagined that like this song actually

Pffft... you all know it should be 'You Could Be The One'...

you're just too ashamed to admit it..

I think you'll find that Black Planet is the most embarrassing choice - but still the best one...

As we only have one choice possible, I will say the splendid "Driven like the snow".

I think Colours would work well.

Now in terms of ones they haven't played in a while, I think this line-up would do scorching versions of "Heartland" and "Gimme Shelter".

Colours would go well as a substitute for Neverland or Rain From Heaven in the setlist.

What she said! Oh, and leave Never Land in as well

Poison Door
and Far Parade

And what about Lights? Or have they played it in any time?

it's on one of the 1983 bootlegs, iirc. frost upon the windowpane, perhaps?

lights is probably my all-time favourite sisters track - i'd love to hear it live.

the demo version is ace too

I had to vote for Driven Like the Snow, as tempting as Bury Me Deep and Poison Door are.

I might give them all up for a performance of On the Wire with the guitar line from the studio version.

It's on the Possession - Live In Amsterdam boot, at least (from 83 as LouLou said). Really good performance, heavy sound.

There's a few 83 recordings with Lights on them; I think they only played it 4 or 5 times max. I think Hamburg 83 is probably the best one, with a really really really long extended intro.

Both are retired with honours, surely.

Amsterdam Paradiso '83 - the recording with the dodgy tape speed..

I definitely remember it being on that..

Love to see that prowling vintage hearse given the 21st Century NO2-injected Von tune up... or would I? There's only one way to find out...

Quite sometimes in 1982/1983

This is by no means complete, but I think you can get at least a dozen recordings of it.

Black Planet

heart said Driven, motor functions said COLOURS

I've changed my mind.
I Wanna Wide Receiver or The Driver.
(What? they played Good Things =x)

It'd have to be Black Planet for me although I'm not sure that I'd want to hear it with the Ben & Chris treatment. If they were going to play it live now I wish they'd play it as the orignal was played on FALAA.

Maybe it would be interesting to hear a new version of it with Ben & Chris though, I'm sure they'd do it justice.


Second choice would be Driven Like The Snow.

i am sorry if i bring this up from the past, but someone asked something and it will help him as reference
