I know I've said this before in other threads (oh & thanks for cleaning up & reposting us over here Soda!) but I LOVED hearing LROOE live - for the first time. So did my husband who is not a hard core fan. That was the song that convinced him they really are serious, creative musicians and not just about nostalgia and raking in the $$$$$$. We didn't think for a heartbeat that it was dragging on, we were too busy absorbing, appreciating and marveling at this new masterpiece.
I can't comment on whether or not it works in a festival setting since I've never experienced that, but if they are looking at doing anything indoors and 2 1/2 hours or more for their 40th anniversary (), I would love to see LROOE included. (But maybe they could cut down on the Arabian wind noises ).
I would also like to see the 40th anniversary reflect the whole 40 years, acknowledging the new album as well as the older stuff. Since I'm hoping we get a new concert DVD out of this tour, I'd like some songs that aren't already on Farewell 1 and HFO.
And I want them to have fun too - so I guess if that means having some of their choice of songs rather than ours, that's good too... AS LONG AS I ACTUALLY GET TO SEE THE ONE OF THE SHOWS!!!
