Excellent! Why would it be dropped?

I will most likely, baring any other horrific events, be buying my plane ticket at the end of the month, so all this is such excellent good news. What a happy Saturday morning.

For the sake of clarification, I did not suggest that The Lighthouse be dropped!! I just asked if we could have Ritz instead "now and again" and The Lighthouse was a random, not a deliberate, choice. To get both in one gig will be FANTASTIC.

My mouth is salivating at the thought of all those songs Steve lists and I really appreciate him taking time out to explain why set lists tend to be the same throughout a tour.

Can I be cheeky and ask for "Spaced Out" and "Mad, Mad Moonlight" in the encore? Pretty please

If any of those songs Steve mentions get an airing this Summer i'll be overjoyed.Cavaliers,Muriel The Actor(can an 'adult' Steve Harley pull off the vocal??)It's a great start.As i said before, it's not so much a need for a huge and dramatic change in the set-list but just the inclusion of a few songs that have been 'away' for far too long.The great set-list debate has been roaring away over the past few days on various DB's so respects to Steve for listening and understanding.

I called Steve, who is travelling to St Albans, and I'm afraid his reaction to the "Spaced Out" request was, "Maybe not...er, maybe. Really? Someone's asking for that? What is Ali asking for - is she coming from the States?"

Mr Raffles: we only know about what gets discussed on this Forum/DB/Website - so if you want Steve to hear you, this is the place to air your views, otherwise.............

THANKS STEVE ,for takin the time out to explain a few things ,it dosent take a lot to keep us happy ,just the ocassional update from yourself ,it keeps things nice and clear ,things do get a bit frustrating at times ,,,now can i push you for ANOTHER JOURNEY ???????
