I would love that too but get the impression that James doesn't like it!

I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that the KYE songs they've played live are;

Found That Soul
Ocean Spray
So Why So Sad
Let Robeson Sing
The Year Of Purification
Wattsville Blues
Miss Europa Disco Dancer
Royal Correspondent
Baby Elian
Freedom Of Speech Won't Feed My Children

There's also an acoustic version of 'Intravenous Agnostic' which I'm assuming is from a radio session, but it's never been played as part of the live set that I'm aware of.

yeah I think you're right from looking around, I read an interview where Nicky said they'd played Intravenous Agnostic once and they thought it was bad so didn't do it again.

They played it (full band) at Llandudno in August 2001 - it was one of the Reading and Leeds warm ups and he's quite right it really didn't work live. They soundchecked it a few other times that year as well so I got the impression they wanted to make it work it - it just didn't.

I don't think theres particularly anything on the album they didn't play live that I'd like to see - I did like it when they brought back Freedom of Speech in 2007 though as I think thats possibly the song which came accross best live from that album

Agreed!

I know Nicky had said he "hates gigs where the band play their album in full" until their last tour? But I'd love to see a show of two sets, one where they play the tracks from what would have been "Solidarity" and the second half being everything they intended to play from "Door To The River".
In fact I'm sure someone else has already posted about this?
I'm aware the live quality of the performance would falter from time to time, but hearing the "Manics albums that never were" would overcome this?
And although my avatars gone, I still love KYE!

Always liked it and just listening to it now made me wonder.

Never done that, or half of the rest of the album. Absolutely criminal, all those great songs!

Yep, tis shocking that these great songs get ignored!

[*Found That Soul*]

Found That Soul should open the set for me,thought it worked really well on the PPF tour.
