Fantasy Geldof set
Permalink  
 


looking at the debate in Boomtown Rats thread on Geldof solo sets i thought it might be fun to play fastasy Geldof .where its up to you to pick a 16 song set for a Geldof live gig ill think about mine and post later, but i would diffinitley favour songs from  Bobs solo years ,i guess ArrGee would would favour rats material but the skill is i think trying to balance the set list for the ultimate  BOB GELDOF SET

LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING YOUR CHOICES

Hi Ian,
Am I being a bit pedantic but, your choice is not exclusively Bob Geldof tracks. What can we choose from?

Assuming I can only have songs the Rats/Geldof have played live or in the studio.

Blind Date
Close As You'll Ever Be
Barefootin'
Riot in Cell Block #9
Mary of the Fourth Form
Rat Trap/Kicks/Joey  (medley) 
She's Gonna Do You In
Looking After Number One
House on Fire
Banana Republic
Living In An Island
Me & Howard Hughes
Don't Believe What You Read
She's So Modern
Like Clockwork
Someone's Looking At You

encore
Eva Braun
The Great Song of Indifference
Fall Down (with Simon Crowe singing biggrin)

Must admit there are far more songs I'd like to hear live (He Watches It All and Drag Me Down come to mind), even a couple of Geldof solo efforts ($6,000,000 Loser/Scream in Vain); but I went for songs that were best appreciated live.

My fantasy set would go something like this. Maybe a few more Rats songs than people would expect.

Love or someting
Love Like a Rocket
A Gospel song

Banana Republic
Rat Trap
House on Fire

Harvest Moon
Life is the Hardest Thing
The Soft Soil

Elephants Graveyard
Like Clockwork
Up All Night

Too Late God
Walking Back to Happiness
Sunny Afternoon
Indifference

Oh yes, and in my fantasy the guys would only be wearing strategically placed fig leafs, In Bob's case about 10 should do it.furious
Don't shout me down for being sexist. I know I am! This is just fantasy after all.
