Hilarious, Rebel. Great story!! Just wait for "And Louise, cowering into "nowehere""..." and you'll be in tears eh!! Maybe the conductor can be persuaded to utter the immortal command: "Quiet, please. From the top". Cue interval. And a chance to catch your breath!! Then Sweet Dreams...O dear, now you've got me dreaming!!!Day-dreaming.

I would think he would definitely finish with "Make Me Smile." I just don't think he would not end a concert without it. :)

Personally I hope Steve doesn't resort to playing MMS(CUSM. I hope he has more taste about the evening. This is about celebrating the first two Rebel albums to the cognoscenti - not pleasing the "Oh, I know this one", johhny-come-lately, fans of the "big hit". There is nothing to gain from including an anachronistic number to please anyone. He has said before how he often has people shouting for it after one song.(He used to talk about a girl in Belfast I think as an example). Birmingham won't be like that I don't think!

I am hoping for a classy evening and he doesn't need to play it. As much as we may love it, in its place, we have all heard it at single show we have been to for the past 30 odd years. In fact- has Steve ever played a set without it since the BYOOL tour? Personally I don't recall him ever missing it out-but my memory isn't what it was.. anybody ever recall that beng the case? Ray?
