I'd add Paninaro '95 and remove Jealousy. They've yet to play the final version live. The show could use a flashback from their more bombastic eurodisco moments now that they skipped Go West.

I’d add Minimal.

It's about time for Boys to remember DJ Culture exists.

Alas, I can't see it happening. Once you go with "greatest hits" set-lists on tours, you never go back.

Still don't understand why they don't play I'm Not Scared. Yes, the hit wasn't theirs but it's definitely one of their bangers.

Yes and Love, etc.

Hello Spaceboy and She's Madonna were quite the hits too

Yeah, as much as I would love to hear a deep cut, I suspect its too enjoyable to have a hit packed setlist and see everyone invested in every single song. . it must be kind of defeating when they play a new song and they can just literally see the crowd shut down like a machine blowing a fuse

Liberation , should definitely be in the set list , one of my favs and was number 12 or 14 in the uk charts so was a hit

I wouldn't exactly call A New Bohemia, Monkey Business, Vocal and Dreamland as "greatest hits", all of which have been performed at various stages of the (neverending) Dreamworld Tour. If they have been played then both DJ Culture and Flamboyant would be welcome additions in the set list.. DJ Culture was more of a bona fide "hit" chart wise than any of the 4 I mentioned above..

I'm all for Dj Culture too. It's just needs to be pitch perfect or it's toilet break time. It can't be wasted away like Domino Dancing which works in any form, they need the London symphony orchestra onstage.

I'd suggest that (based on my viewing at the cinema, at least, since that's all us Aussies have experienced of it...) Vocal and Dreamland have earned themselves a place within the over Dreamworld presentation, which is what keeps them in there.

As for A New Bohemia or Monkey Business, once they're no longer deemed "current", they'll drop off too, if they haven't already done so. Once they're dropped, don't expect them back.

A Stuart Price mix to perfection! That could potentially make DJ Culture the highlight for us fans!
