Looking through the setlists, It seems to me that Paul hasn´t played this song since 1970 (Bridge tour) -- I wonder why this is...Anyone have any ideas?

Because the people want to hear Bridge, The Boxer, SOS and Homeward Bound all the time?

Because its a wonderful but deeper down and sad song? Maybe he believes its not good for shows...

Because Paul doesn´t like his Old song very much?

Are there any B sides or album tracks people particularly Love that Paul doesn`t seem to perform (at all or anymore), but they would like to see in concert?

Personally I`d want Mother And Child Reunion, St Judy`s Comet, Gone at Last, Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War, Born At The Right Time, Proof, Old, Pigs, Sheep and Wolves, Thelma, Quality, The Vampires and from Surprise I`d want Once Upon A Time There was an Ocean and That`s Me.

Don`t want much do I?

Oh, and from S&G I`d want the entire reason for this thread as well as The Dangling Conversation, A Simple Desultory Philippic (possibly updated I`m sure Bush would get a swipe), Richard Corey and We`ve Got A Groovy Thing Goin`

Not much chance of this happening but these are just wish lists.

Hi Mr Beerbelly,I would Love to hear Paul do Allergies,which S&G did when I saw them in 1983. This was before Hearts And Bones was released,so it was new to the audience,but I remember in the middle of the song Paul added a little comedy/drama to the piece with a funny monologue about he and Richard Tee being twin brothers but that while Richard grew big,dark and healthy,Paul was small,pale and sickly,all because he suffered from...Allergies! Does anyone remember if Paul did this at any other concerts S&G did in 82,83,84? Sorry Mr Beerbelly took a slight detour there but I agree with Rene and Georgette...and Pigs,Sheep and Wolves.I must also add One Trick Pony,Oh Marion,Jonah and Time is an Ocean. Mother And Child Reunion sounded fantastic on the Graceland Tour in 1987 so that would be lovely to hear live again as well. Actually,just a PS tour that makes it down under would be awesome,no matter what the setlist is...

IMO, A Poem On The Underground Wall seems like something to be played at an S&G concert, not solo. I don´t know why I think that, it just seems out of place at a solo concert.

I agree.The chances of Paul playing ´Poem´ would be about the same as him adding ´Cloudy´ to his setlist. I just don´t see it happening I´m afraid.
