Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon What would your top 5 be for John & Louis to perform at the T-Shirt gig?

Great idea with "I want to be a Machine"! I love this track!

But please only if they could invite Billy for playing his brilliant violin solo - for me the highlight of this song!
I saw them performing this song live as Ultravox - IT BLEW ME AWAY!!!

My top 5 has changed slightly.

Young Savage
I want to be a Machine
Maximum Acceleration
TV Orphan
Artificial Life

I've sent it to Rob now so its done.

I'll post it here too.

Young man
I cant stay long
Cross fade
Europe after the rain
Your dress

There are so many more.

Cheers.

It's a song i've always wanted to hear played live. i know it can be reworked as an electronic piece, but only if Billy does the violin on it.

Mr.No is my favourite John Foxx electronic piece, so it has to go in to my top 5.

This is impossible!!!! I've sort of narrowed it down to 12 (and keep thinking of songs I've missed), In no particular order:
Dance With Me
This Jungle
A Room as big..
Stairway
The Falling Room
In A Silent Way
I can't stay long
A kind of wave
The Garden
Running in Traffic
Ray 1/Ray 2
Systems of Romance

But then there's 'sitting on the edge of the world', 'annex', 'a woman on a stairway', 'maximum acceleration', etc etc etc
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Can John play for a whole day, please!!!!!!

I promise I will narrow it down to five songs but it's doing my head in!!
Cheers

In a Silent Way was played at the 93 feet east, if I remember right. Me and Peter watched face into face and smiled as a brand new song was played. I assume it was this song.

I wrote my top five on another point but here it is again:

"When you walk through me"
"Young Love"
"Shadow Man" ( was played in Bielefeld but it's a Killer live!)
"Uptown/Downtown"
"Golden Green" ( don't know if it is possible to incl. it in this gig, but I would REALLY! love to listen to THIS! track live!!

As Craig said ; I could incl.a lot more of songs than 5 ,too.
I'm very curios which songs make the final top five.
What a great idea!

Rob, have you any titels which were mentioned very often until yet?

Or shall it be a secret? :rolleyes:

I can't remember the tracklisting I sent off to Rob last week but I think it was something like this;

1. Sitting On The Edge Of The World/And The World Slides Sideways*

2. Can't Stay Long

3. Impossible

4. In A Silent Way**

5 Morning Glory (acoustic)

*I know that's 2 songs but one could easily drift into the other - and (in my head) it would be great!

**This is what I originally put, but wished I'd settled on 'Here We Go' - easily my favourite track from the last 10 years.

Hi Shadowman, don't think any of the new stuff was played at 93 Feet East, the only thing of 'Sideways' was the title track played in June at Scala. But if it was played, I think they should 'play it again, shadowman!!'
Cheers

I'm 79,99% sure it was played but I agree with you Craig - would be nice to hear it again live. It is my favourite track , together with Neuro Video , from Sideways.

BTW: Neuro Video would be great to hear live too...
