DISCLAIMER Life is Yours is an unreal album and obviously I want to and have enjoyed hearing those tunes live this year. I totally understand the difference in vibes/tones between the two records which goes someway to explaining my issue but still

Okay, so we are all aware of the Elephant in the room that is/was the pandemic. Something that took our gigs away but gave the band time to write and pass onto us LIY. But am I being selfish in saying that we as fans and the band too have unfinished business with the Pt 2 era especially the live shows. For context I bought my ticket for the Birmingham show the day they were released pre covid with the hype of hearing the big riffs and heavy stuff alongside pt 1 and the older stuff but with the emphasis on pt2 as the new record.

I’m sure most can agree that songs like Neptune, Like Lightning, Wash off and 10000 feet are tunes to be played live and played LOUD. I feel like with the pandemic and now with promoting LIY we’ve been robbed of the chance to hear these songs how they were intended to be played. To only get the runner and Black bull in the setlist these days just seems like a waste and a bit of a sad way to let the album go…

Interested to hear other peoples thoughts!

TLDR: More ENSWBL in the setlist!
