I want a well-made Blu-ray (or I'd take a DVD over nothing...) in nice commemorative packaging from it because I can't go.

I don't expect one though, because what the band release and how they release it is seemingly becoming increasingly byzantine, and even if they did it I expect you'd have to collect tokens on cereal boxes, staple them to a monkey and then dance around a kumquat on a tuesday evening to be in with a chance of giving them more money for such a product.

I can't go because I'm in Southeast Asia and I'm envious as crap. Not able to figure out where I'd fall on the scale.

I exect them to play a whole load of songs, a Wire political rant along the lines of 'Fuck you Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg!', James to be sipping tea and throat sweets throughout and for them to end on ADFL

Yep. All of that, especially the bit about tea and throat sweets.

I also expect some sort of ticker tape/confetti at the end. I'll be most disappointed if there isn't.

1) You Love Us
2) Motown Junk
3) Found that Soul
4) Design for Life
5) Nina, Gruff, Ian Mc, Kylie(?)-prob not!!!
6) Nicky'll have 4 costume changes cos of the breaks between sets and James's accoustic set(s) Sean and James will have to change too cos of the heat and length of gig.Keepin fingers crossed that James'll throw his hot, sweaty shirt into the audience like Morrissey does.
7) Excited at about an 8 but prob 9 by the gig.

We'll def get some rants from Nicky and glitter/ticker tape at the end of each set. Huge montages of Richey throughout and the band. Nicky and James chatting about Richey and memories about some of the songs.

I'm also hoping for a massive trashing of the equipment at the end like '94, but I doubt it.

I'd LOVE to see Sean do the live trumpet parts for KC, so Sean if you are reading this PLEASE.

Trying to remember the setlist I wrote in my fantasy setlist thread to answer the first questions. I think it would give the answers:
1: found that soul
2: motorcycle emptiness
3: australia
4: motown junk

Then:

5: guests I'd hope for would be nina for ylaine, and mac for skon. But seeing as e&tb are playing in liverpool that night, and we know gruff rhys is guesting for robeson, I'd settle for gruff on skon instead. I also reckon nina will sing the female parts on lbn as well.
6: I think they'll all change custume suring the intermission. And that'll probably be it.
7: 11 ;-)

I expect Nicky to tell me to fuck off home to my Horlicks after I spend the duration of Autumnsong playing Angry Birds on my phone.

AH!! Awesome I didn't know about gruff being there, that's EPIC, what a legend! Would he possibly do some support numbers aswell then?
I have an awesome idea the suede could support them, this is founded on exactly nothing except me wanting it really badly!

Part of me would like them to end on something different, but I think it will be adfl. Maybe starting the second half with the masses, your love alone, australia, you stole the sun. I don't know I'm crap at predicting!

Scale of one to ten probably about 9, I'm genuinely concerned of having some kind of excited fit and being unable to sleep for about a fortnight.

Sean on trumpet would be amazing!

What acoustic numbers do we think james'll do??

I'm sure I read somewhere that all the songs are being played full-band, so there won't be any james-only acoustic songs.
