Privateering Tour about to begin - Rehearsals starting in London

[ds1984]

As long as Mark fill the room why would he bother to do it a different way?
He's just doing what he likes. It is really up to us to come or not...

But I just fear that the day I will be so fed up with his setlist and will decide not to buy tix this "bastard" will choose that tour to drop TR for TOL or something like that 

[superval99]

but I also know that there IS a certain magic about this live music and after the first few notes I will probably be on cloud nine...

Me too!      I would love to hear some more songs from "Privateering", but really I don't mind what he plays in front of me, because one day it will all end and when that happens I will be very, very sad! 

[Love Expresso]

Didn't Richard write that they rehearsed some songs from Privateering which they did not rehearse last time with Bob?  I remember them playing a lot of songs from the new album at the two secret promo gigs and at the first shows, Miss You Blues, Redbud Tree, I Used To Could, Yon Two Crows, Kingdom Of Gold, Haul Away, Privateering, Corned Beef City, any more?

I would love to hear Go, Love, Bluebird and as an opener Don't forget Your Hat (really!!)   Maybe I get lucky! Thogether with Before Gas & TV and Fare Thee Well Northumberland, you could play Walk Of Life and Rudiger from my point of view, I still would be happy with those...

"As usual, prior to the first day of rehearsals, Mark had sent me his list of songs he fancied trying for this trip and this included lots of familiarities and a whole lot more. In fact the song list has grown as the days have gone by and we only just managed to get through everything by the end of the first week."

Indicating to me that they have more to do in rehearsals.

Actually there is a lot of stuff of the usual, that Jim Cox and Ian Thomas never played live, remember that last tour with Jim Cox was the GH tour back in 1996, so everything from the GL 2010 tour that wasn

Follow the ribbon is my favorite at the moment, sure hopes he plays that.

Its not in the record...

[Pottel]

? of course it is. on the bonus cd...

[Love Expresso]

Which means it is in the same league as the songs some people always mention like Real Girl and stuff - he never will play bonus songs live.. but Follow The Ribbon is a great song. Together with Occupation Blues it really should have been on the album. Double Album could have survived 22 instead of 20 songs...
