Too Many People on a loop for 66 minutes

Encore: The Sound Of The Atom Splitting (crowd slowly drifts away making it easy to exit and get the tube home)

Just some songs that came up, unaware of any logical sequence...

Numb
To step aside
One and one make five
What are we going to do about the rich?
An open mind
One way street
The night I fell in love
The loving kind
Only the dark
Your funny uncle
Can you forgive her? - Swing version
The lost room
Here
I get along
Listening
In his imagination
Through you
It always comes as a surprise
Hey, headmaster

Coincidentally, I've been listening to Format these last days... There are lots of great songs there, so as the latest EPs like Lost, Agenda, Laundrette etc.

Will O’ The Wisp
You Know Where You Went Wrong
Up Against It
The Way It Used To Be

Oh man I'd love Wisp to be the opener. We need an extended version so they can walk on with that one, like Axis.

It's the perfect song to bridge the vintage synth stuff with the new.

I imagine this setlist might materialise some good mixes, actually?

I thought the purpose of an opening track would be warmly welcoming the audience, not shoo away them?
My bet is on Too Many People. Neil looks at the audience and sighs...oh irony..

Ruled out because it was a single.

Opening track?

Jesus, imagine how dark the world would seem as you stumbled out onto Camden High Street. Out, out, brief candle!

Hehehehe Winner should be there in "fan's favourites"...
I guess their songs have different meanings among the listeners...
Actually Winner holds a special place in my family's history...

I also love The calm before the storm... So peaceful!

Haha! The funny thing is that I actually like all but two of the songs in that list...

In random order:

Delusions of grandeur
That's my impression
We all feel Better in the dark
Forever in love
Here
Sexy northener
Into thin air
Bolshy
Entschuldigung
Luna park
Theatre
Young offender

We all feel better in the dark. I mean, the title alone is the best fit for a show called Obscure. And it's a fan favourite B-side.

I can see Two divided by zero opening the show, too.
