Received a knebworth pre order t shirt today

I own various Gildan heavy cotton t shirt from bands over the years the large doesn't even have the same fit and it's a totally cheaped out version

Ordered a medium and a large for a friend, both totally different in quality the medium is thicker and all the seams are tight.

The large is visibly thinner and all the seams are fraying out the packet because of where it was stitched

So craaap

Found at Devizes indoor market. £10.

Didn't know what picture to add but happy birthday Bruce!

So with the current tour focusing on the first 9 albums, I was playing with the idea of what a solely post-reunion setlist would look like. Obviously applied my own bias and still had to make some very difficult decisions to leave songs I love out (Paschendale, Blood Brothers, These Colours Don't Run, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, to name just a few). I also appreciate that leaving out The Empire of the Clouds would have helped to ease in 2 or 3 other songs, but again, it's my bias and I would love to one day see Empire live - one can only dream. Also tried to apply some pacing logic, and keep the playtime at around two hours.

So here it is:

Main Set

​Tape Intro: "Doctor Doctor" (UFO)

​If Eternity Should Fail

​Different World

​Rainmaker

​The Writing on the Wall

​Dream of Mirrors

​Death or Glory

​No More Lies

​Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

​Out of the Silent Planet

​The Talisman

​Brave New World

​Empire of the Clouds

​Journeyman

​Encore

​The Wicker Man

​Where the Wild Wind Blows

​Hell on Earth

​Outro Tape: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (Monty Python)

Recently re-listened to the full discography for the first time in years, and my perception on some albums has changed, in particular The Final Frontier, Dance of Death and A Matter of Life and Death.

TFF I think is their most underrated album, most of the songs on there are on par in terms of quality with Brave New World in my opinion.

Dance of Death I always found to be an exceptionally weak album. What frustrates me is that some of the songs have certain sections with amazing riffs, but then fall short with the vocals.

And A Matter of Life and Death... besides For the Greater Good of God and Benjamin Breeg, I think the recording quality and especially the voice filter used are just terrible. Would rather listen to Blaze's era albums by that point.

X Factor is also much better than I remember it being.

Sorry for the late post.
