Obscure setlist - the Community Consensus

I didn't read beyond the first two songs.

5. Radiophonic
6. The Resurrectionist
7. Bet She’s Not Your Girlfriend

9. Forever in Love
10. Always
11. Jack the Lad
12. A New Life
13. After the Event
14. I Didn’t Get Where I Am Today
15. The End of the World
16. The Way It Used to Be
17. Your Funny Uncle
18. One Thing Leads to Another
19. Up Against It
20. Fugitive

A pretty good setlist. I cannot wait to know what songs the boys choose.

If you know about David Bowie fans voting for Dame David to play The Laughing Gnome in 1990 and him refusing, the Obscure anticipation slightly reminds me of this episode in musical history!

A man could get arrested I think HAS to be played - it's got a surprisingly loose feel that would work so well live, and it's the sort of first b-side calling card (that and in the night of course and paniniro)

In Literaally 32, February 2008, Chris gave his own list.

Chris: I would like to go and see a show of ours where we didn't do any of the hits though.
Actually I did a playlist of it the other day - it's really good. Everything I liked that's not a single.
[He subsequently supplies a copy of this playlist.
It reads: "Tonight is forever", "The survivors",
"To face the truth", "Do I have to?",
"To step aside", "The Resurrectionist",
"Fugitive", "Up against it", "Your funny uncle",
"King's Cross", "Only the wind", "It couldn't happen here", "Casanova in Hell",
"The theatre", "Happiness is an option",
"It always comes as a surprise", "Jack the lad",
"To speak is a sin", "My October symphony",
"One and one make five", "The Samurai in autumn", "Love is a catastrophe",
"Later tonight", "Why don't we live together?"
"Forever in love" and "If love were all".
As an encore: "One thing leads to another".
Chris further notes that he imagines such a set
"being performed with full orchestra and band at the Albert Hall or similar".]

i notice there's no chris tracks! And jack the lad was Neil's track on suburbia for his Paninaro

Happiness is an option though! It's so bad!

Missing a Chris track and calling one of Chris' favourite tracks "bad" in the same moment is peak irony.
