Ok, not too long to wait til the tour starts, so how about a bit of fun. Rules are straightforward
1) Name your venue (doesn't have to the be the one you're going to) 2) Put together your set list
Points are awarded as follows
10 points for a song in your set list that's played at the gig 10 bonus points for every song that's played in the same position in the ELO set list as to what's on yours
I'll go first.....
Newcastle

Must ponder this carefully, although not having a prize seems a bit tight....

Before making a list myself... don't you dislike the fact that Jeff Lynne's setlists are always so very predictable? Always the same songs, hardly ever a surprise!
PS: "Confusion" was a risky bet, Horace.

BTW, jackpunch , I don't know that song called "Ain't life a drag", but it seems to be even more pessimistic -or have a wider area of application- that that other one called "Ain't it a drag".

I'm definitely going to gamble on Birmingham Blues being played in Birmingham. If not I'm going to have a serious strop.

I think where there's an expensive and complicated video backdrop which corresponds with the songs the setlist tends to be pretty much immovable. The fact that the proper fans would prefer an interesting range of songs seems to escape some bands and they just pander to the general public.

I'm sure Jeff Played Confusion when he did that live gig with the lovely Rosie Vela woman, that's why I chose it as a wild card Helmut83

To be honest, my brain is capable of such incompetence that's it's a miracle there's not more claptrap on that list. It's only a matter of time before we get Mrs Blue Sky and Roll under Shostakovich
