The Most important thing in Leeds'11 was the cupcakes not the setlist .
JK, More was awesome that night, i've never imagine that song being played with the actual line-up.

Of course, Lucretia in 2002, a Classic!(That i hated soon i head, and now, ten years later...i just like it, isn't the same thing, i mean, herr Dok can play that bass with more feeling, just like in floodland(ops) , you know?)

Comfortably Numb in Brum in '92 for me too, and agree with your other choices too.
Plus Temple of Love for the first time in '90 as had gone on record to say we'd never hear it live.
The On The Wire/Teachers medley on the Overbombing tour was also a fantastic surprise.

Emma/Uptown top ranking
@ Lokerse Feesten 2008

opening with Kiss the Carpet in Leeds last year was lovely

i miss Bei Mir Bist Du Schon though. i've always loved that cover and thought it was one of the more absurd but better worked-through covers they've done

I Wanna Be Sedated & Sugar Baby Love 2003
Capricorn 2001

I resemble those remarks.

Very much that. I laughed so hard.

He's got the whole world in his hands/ Always look on the bright side of life,

Reading 1991.


Silver Machine, Lysine 1993

@Suleiman
Well, it reminds me:

Ancienne Belgique 1998 - Sister Ray/Lucretia/Walkin the Dog/ Louie Louie/ Capricorn/ Walking the Dog / Sister Ray

@Husek
Sadly I wasn't in Belgium in 1998.

but the image of a field full of goffs sining 'always look on the bright side of life' is hard to beat.

Don't get sad bro, i wasn't in 99.99% of sisters gigs .
Actually i just went to the gigs in Sao Paulo.

Can't remember the year but the slow version of body electric was a surprise.

As to former times:
Sugar Baby Love in Bonn 2001 was great
And War On Drugs in Hasselt the same year
I also agree about Confide In Me (Glauchau 1997)
And of course, Comfortably Numb/SKOS at the time


One great moment was the introduction of Arms in 2009!

For 2010:
Rain From Heaven - especially in Leamington and at the M'era Luna
Body Electric the slow version of Leamington was just wonderful

In 2011:
Gift That Shines, Pipeline, such a sweet and lovely choice, both songs.
John, I'm Only Dancing ... wonderful and with a lot potential ... endless, almost ... hihi.
Top Nite Out in Groningen ... great !
Almost all versions of FALAA, they played last year were wonderful.
Anaconda in Vienna, though I can imagine a very different lovely version at the moment, that's never been played
Never liked Dominion all that much, but it was very good in Berlin.
More, I love the old version, but the current one is just so blatantly awesome ... ...
Also, this year, I've really enjoyed Alice a few times, which I usually don't.

For me it's never about the setlist anyway, more about the versions of the songs as they might come out on that day.
There've been so plentyful great moments and surprises in songs they played last year, also soundwise. I can't list them all.

No Time To Cry in Leamington Spa was fantastic,but hearing the opening of More in Leeds last year was better,simply because I genuinely thought I would never get to hear it played live.
