I doubt if they will perform part of the union. They didn't in their electric gig at Sutton and I would guess that in the forthcoming tour they will be performing an acoustic set. I bought a live DVD form a Canadian tour and was disappointed that it was an acoustic set. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this was almost as good as their plugged in set. Focus are brilliant live and I'm looking forward to seeing MT's Ash. Should be a great night.
tonymontana-- as a general rule, no, though they have brought it out occasionally (at least once with John Ford as special guest). Not to worry, you'll find many more songs to love in their current setlist!
Saw them May 15th at the Boom Boom Club in Sutton, Surrey, England. They were awesome. I thought they had played all their best songs at the beginning of the show and along came this as the encore. Not heard this before and was initially disappointed until Oliver W took control and blew us away. I still contend that music like this is better than sex! The live version of this track recorded at QE hall is on "antiques and curios".
Another great video to remember the evening by. Oliver Wakeman is awesome in his reprise of his Dad's keyboard solo. (Someone said Rick W was actually in the audience). The song is "Where Is This Dream Of Your Youth?" Thanks for posting.
Yeh im going tomorrow night to the preston guild hall im mainly going for focus really so everything else there will be a bonus.
