It occurs to me, reading some of the setlists, that a few beloved favorites of mine haven't shown up. Has Forster played "It Ain't Easy" and "Let Your Light In, Babe"? Maybe he hasn't played "Light" because its chord structure is too similar to "Born To a Family", though I'd rather hear the former, given my druthers. It'd also be really cool to hear him do some of the lesser stature, but still great "album cuts" like "I Just Get Caught Out" and "You've Never Lived".

Any others missing in action?

I'd love to hear "You Tell Me." I think it'd sound smashing with his current band.

I'd also love to hear "You Tell Me", because the Norwegian princess Märtha has just named her third daughter Emma Tallulah!

According to the lists on this board, the two songs Ewan mention from The Evangelist have never been played.

Most of all, I'd love to hear "To Reach Me". Two chances now, Dresden tomorrow and Berlin Saturday...

Ah, so was it you who shouted out for The Clarke Sisters at the QEH!?. I'd loved to have heard that, or Karen, or People Say. Among many others...

I thought Dive for Your Memory was the one missing but then he played it in Copenhagen I see.

Also was From Ghost Town played anywhere?

Ah, I heard that Clarke Sisters shout as well, and the chap behind me who called "And I agree!"
Then a girl, I think, called out for Snake skin lady, which I also love, but I was too shy to back her up, and they probably hadn't rehearsed it anyway. Sorry not to hear dive for your memory, though, and we didn't get the spoken intro to Angels, either - he may be fey, but he's a disciplined time-keeper, is our Bob.

He played "From Ghost Town" in SF and in some of the Oz shows.

I love the fact that he's pulling so many different songs and the band are ready to do them. It's kind of like Elvis Costello's musical roulette thing.

Robert is doing top class work, second to non. "Lesser half" my ass.

Out of left field cover I'd love to hear him play, for no other reason than it would sound cool and be a perfect fit for him, his nibs being a long time Dylan fan:

Well if I had one choice for a song to hear Robert play live it would be Lavender...has this ever been played live?

Old favourites would be Part Company, To Reach Me, I've been Looking for Somebody, On a Street Corner or Bow Down..all of which I have seen, but I am just getting greedy in wanting more, arent I?

I would love it if he would play Rare Breed, with Glenn doing all of Grant's glorious lead guitar melodies.
