What songs might have led you to Japan ?

When they announced that these 2 songs will be played in Japan, I thought it was not a valuable reason for me to go to Japan. But then I realised that I would have seriously considered the Japanese gigs if they had announced P.C.P.+Prologue To History -particularly P.C.P.- or P.C.P.+Repeat (Stars and Stripes).
If we put aside the financial worries that it may represent, are there any songs for which you would have been ready to go to Japan ?

"Always/Never" with martial arts experts in white smashing blocks of wood onstage with their fists. That would make me turn to organised crime and have to pay off debts like sexual favours and carrying out a fatal hit on somebody for the price of going to Japan to see this.

If they promised to perform I Think I Found It, I'd be booking my flight right now!

Anything off JFPL, not one single off the album. It's a shame

If we're putting aside financial barriers, I'd go for the two songs they're doing. Other than that, I'm with the OP on PCP and Prologue.

I think they will never do it but I'd like to see James playing a mandola

I forgot to say that if they played these two songs(Prologue to History and PCP) I'd make the effort to go to Japan (putting aside the fact that I don't have the money to do that)

If I could afford it, I'd go to Japan anyway, particularly for anything I haven't heard them play before. Well, I'd give Ballad Of The Bangkok Novotel a miss.
