London Surprises?
Permalink  
 


Pete promised a few 'surprises' in London. Fingers-crossed Gerry Cott is one of them. I wondered if like last year they will have a saxophone player for Rat Trap so perhaps, Joey will be back as well? Hope so. It's great to have Howard Hughes in the set. Personally, just so I get to hear as many Rats songs live as possible I would like to hear 'Kicks' and 'Elephant's Graveyard'. They are the only 2 tracks they have done live  since reforming. I haven't heard yet. Maybe a bigger horn section- 3 parts like in the later Rats years. Could be a great addition maybe 'Drag Me Down' after all. 

Maybe a special guest? who knows- maybe Fingers after all. Time to speculate folks

Be good to meet Mrs Derek .

As people have said before, having a saxophonist on stage would be rather overcrowded. If we did see the return of Fingers as well, that would mean 9 people on stage. With Geldof, Darren and Pete prowling around as they do there would be multiple collisions!!

Happy Mondays had plenty of space on the Forum stage for Bez to dance around, so don't see an issue.  Don't remember Fingers moving around too much, however I doubt he will be one of the surprises.   More likely Spandex Buffet and Phil Colic (sic, sic, sic) will turn up and give us a rendition of Do They Know It's Christmas?   

It's gonna be a tricky call when to make the exit.  Had there been no surprises, I could have headed off to the bar for a quick one when Diamond Smiles started and shot off for the eponymous song.  Now I just haven't got a clue what to do!

I think that´s what they want to achieve with with all the surprise rumors: they want to keep you away from the bar
