I'm intrigued why She only had one verse (although one verse is more than enough in my opinion
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
First things first: “What Kind Of Fool Am I?” Was indeed the Anthony Newley, played as a snippet at the end of “New Lace Sleeves.”
“Alibi” is even better than I remembered: what a song, and what a furious performance of it!
“She” was solo on guitar, and introduced thus: “The band doesn't know this one, because they hate it.” Right on, Imposters.
He cut it off after one verse, and went into a full-band “Good Year For The Roses.” Steve Nieve, here as everywhere, was a miracle.
EC's mom, whose birthday is tomorrow, and all three of his sons were present. Sadly, no “My Three Sons” in their honor.
We did get “All These Strangers” again, though, which was very welcome. The Imposters arrangement is gorgeous.
Overall, the thinking seemed to be “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” Still, it was the variations from the Roundhouse set that landed best.
He introduced it by saying 'the band don't play on this one 'cos they hate it' and there was a bit of laughter all round. He then started 'She' on his own with just the guitar while all three Imposters resolutely kept their hands by their sides. After persevering with the first verse, and kept looking round at the lads, EC morphed seamlessly into 'Good Year for the Roses' and the band joined in more or less straight away. It felt slightly as though it had been rehearsed that way as a gag, although I could be wrong. And, rehearsed or not, it was a funny little routine and went down well.verbal gymnastics wrote:I'm intrigued why She only had one verse (although one verse is more than enough in my opinion.
Stations of the Cross is such a great song--I'm glad to see it making an appearance again. It was a highlight from the Spinning Songbook show I saw in NYC.Harry Worth wrote:

Agreed!Fishfinger king wrote:I think the She act was prepared in advance - good on the band on hating it - may it never grace a setlist again!
I hope you've got your flak jacketFishfinger king wrote:Basically he's better with Steve, Pete and Davey accompanying him - long may it continue.
That's the one. Thanks for sharing!docinwestchester wrote:This one?Harry Lime wrote:Stations of the Cross is such a great song--I'm glad to see it making an appearance again. It was a highlight from the Spinning Songbook show I saw in NYC.Harry Worth wrote:
