Im a bit peeved by The One About Loneliness goin missing from the live discs again..Still Looking forward to it tho. 

Lovely Pins Tho..I`ll settle for that as a front cover..  

Did I miss this or do we count the UK and Ireland as Europe? 

James have just finished a sold out tour on the back of a brand new album and have an arena tour following in December and have had sessions on Radio 2, a one hour edited concert broadcast from Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Billy Sloan's Clyde 1 show and an appearance on Jools Holland tonight because they are recording new stuff and mixing that with a few oldies... on the April tour they didnt play their biggest hit Sit Down at all and hardly played any songs recorded before 1991... didn't stop them selling out a tour or getting to No.10 with their new album which has sold better in a few weeks than last year's repackaging on their biggest hits 'Fresh As A Daisy'.

Deacon Blue fans (or many of us) will have live versions of most of these songs on the accompanying CD from CD single releases over the years and very similar versions on the concertlive cds... would have been great if the band had recorded some of the shows concertlive didnt record and featured material from the 2007 tour which concertlive hadnt already put out... i am guessing with more time to mix the songs the official live album will manage to sound even better than the concertlive discs and the old cd singles and radio broadcasts gigs that have been booted but by restricting the choice of songs included so narrowly to the 1988-90 era the band haven't made much of a case for themselves as a band who have progressed since their commercial heyday and written great new material (which they have done consistently from 1991 onwards until the new Singles tracks) or that their live shows have moved on and got better since the Big Picture gigs in 1989.

Positive suggestion so my 2 posts on this don't just read as a moan when i have no doubt the gig, DVD and CD will sound great - when not put out a limited edition collectors version of the CD to help boost initial sales where it does have some of the stuff like Homesick, Walking Back Home, Bethlehem's Gate etc?

I'll finish by saying good luck to the band with the DVD and CD... I'll still be buying both as soon as they come out

'Bonus' hopefully meaning Bethlehem's Gate and some of the recent tracks will make it on. I'd also like to see some archive, Big Day, Halfway to Paradise, etc.

Great news it's coming out, but agree on initial surprise at playlist. Thought Beth Gate would make it on. Glad Your Town and ETYS did though.

Dougie, I agree that would be nice but the only extra track mentioned on the play.com listing is Homesick. Would be nice if we could get the complete listing from this site, would it not?!
