Rain and Charmed lives
(Preview)
In my opinion the two worst songs geldof has ever written. Still don't get why the hell. Charmed lives was played live just as much as rat trap.

Setlist FM Part 2 (lesser played songs)
(Preview)
I can see examples of songs not appearing in stats eg Talk In Code was played at Dominion Theatre. It is not listed despite the gig being recorded and released as a video. Anyway its interesting.

Setlist FM live plays statistics
(Preview)
From Setlist FM screenshot. Seems fairly accurate. On the live version you can click on the songs to see where they were played. Another Piece of Red only listed once from a Canadian gig back in 1981. -- Edited by Noel on Monday 15th of June 2020 03:20:08 PM

Have to admit this should have been on the LP. Would have been ideal after Heres A Postcard. Maybe had KISS or Rock n Roll YE YE as the B-side.

Geldof on Radio X - 8.30am Wed 10 Jun 2020
(Preview)
Just caught this in car driving off to get newspaper. Geldof did more talking than Moyles, a bit about Dustin making #1 with Rat Trap. Also solo albums is now 6 or 7. Coming down. They even played "Heres a Postcard" at the end. Single version is abridged without guitar solo, which is a shame.
