Just a suggestion here,but I really think that the Beatles cover
that Steve and the boys have performed over the last three nights
YOU WON'T SEE ME, would make a superb single and would almost certainly blast our man back to the higher echelons of the u.k. charts.
The acapella opening lines then banging straight in to a full blown pop/rock song with such great lyrics and fantastic melody,would almost be on a par with MMS for its catchy commercialism and it is a nail on for making the Radio 2 'A' playlist.
I would even go as far to say that it is just the type of song that Ken Bruce wouls select as his record of the week,honestly the way the band performed it ,complete with the MMS stlyle 'ooh la la la's,in the chorus,is perfect pop music.
Dont know the ins and outs of getting the rights to release it as a single,or the costs,but I think it would be a big gamble worth risking.
Come on Steve,think about it at least....please!
Anyone else thats attended in the last few nights agree with this
if so join Jimbo's campaign....lets get Steve back in the top ten,
or dare I say it,with the obvious interest Beatles fans might show,
a new number one hit, 36 years later!!!

LYRICS...YOU WONT SEE ME.

When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me
You won't see me

I don't know why
You should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say
But I can't turn away
And you won't see me
You won't see me

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me

The whole show was recorded at two venues, but hasn't been played back yet. We can't know the depth of its quality until then.
But who knows........Steve will listen later this week when he's free.

It would be great if these shows could be available in some way to the Harley fan base. It's true that Steve has had several live acoustic style CD's released over the last few years but a 'full band' recording of the the classic tracks performed over the last few days would be something really special. I hope Steve realises that performing all these old ,obscure songs does mean so much to fans both young and old.The amazing response to this all too brief tour shows that.Good times indeed!!
