I don't understand why so many RM songs? I would feel cheated if I had bothered to go! Having just forked out to see RM twice and then to see a BF band do some of the songs again?? No thanks. A BF band will never do RM songs as good as RM. I know he has always done two or three (JG, Strand etc) but is there any neeed for any more as Bryan has lots to choose from? Is it because these are well known to the majority of the band from the recent RM tour. And, if that was the case why didn't PT do drums? As it is the "Olympia" tour understood why AN is on drums (as he did the recording) but then ony two songs from Olypia??
Just a thought here- am I right that at present Bryan is playing cities where Roxy didn't play last year, so the fans who attend there may not have had the chance to see Roxy live for a while, hence the number of Roxy songs in the setlist. By the time the tour moves to the UK say, there may be fewer Roxy songs and the tour will start to live up to the "Olympia" billing.
As I say, just a thought.
