rickyrob Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 What would you like to see the guys play for the Telethon? I think Afterimage as I love this song and conjures up a feeling of loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I would certainly like to see them play Afterimage, but they will probably stick with something more common, like Tom Sawyer or maybe Subdivisions. We've all heard how Neil was hesitant to do the SARS concert, because he wants to prepare/practice and make sure every performance is perfect. They won't have time to practice an older song, so they'll most likely go with something they played on the recent R30 tour. But we can always hope and dream for something special like Afterimage!

Uncle Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I hope they do something more they haven't played before seeing as how this is a deeply unusual situation. I've allways wanted to hear Losing It done live but I guess those electric violins will be hard to round up for a week or sos time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Personally, I think Bravado would be a good song as, to me, its about enduring everything life and fate throw at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-13 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I wish they could play territories....and Afterimage was second here....but RR is probably the closest..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I know this would be a crazy idea...but how about a new song...quickly written just for this sad sad disaster or something they have been working on......that would be quite amazing....Or even another appropriate cover...I guess we'll all have to wait and see what they will do....

Alsgalpal Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I would like them to play anything, just seeing them perform live will be a real treat!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzyy Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 just thinking...how about 'a passage to bangkok'? I eman it is the capital to Thailand and it's almost like they are travelling there with their music??? I would really like to see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily the idea an event like this is intended to plant in people's minds. I suspect RR is right - We'll see a run through some old standards, although "For What It's Worth" would also be an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuentes Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'd like them to play Emotion Detector, as well as a few songs from Presto, like Anagram. It shouldn't all be gloomy. It may be hard in that situation, but one really should focus on the lighter things of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Then maybe they should play "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" It's easy for us to say these things but the context of the song is probably not too relevant at this point. Just having rush play will boost ratings (and hopefully donations) so maybe the popular songs would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afansince74 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 When I hear Red Sector A, I get the same feelings of the horror, terror and shear magnitude of what happened in those concentration camps as I do looking at those satellite images of the cost line.

Indica Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I think High Water would be a good song to hear live but now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't be appropriate to play in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it would Indy, but you're right. But what about Tai Shan (always think of those 2 songs together). The whole eastern sound, just for the feel of it, and to hear it live.

rickyrob Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 A lot of good responses here. I didn't know whether to put "what should they play?" ...or "what would you like them to play" which may be different... I think the song/s should be bright and not gloomy, but also not condescending and/or insulting. For this reason the song/s might be a bit difficult to choose. Its a fine balance really and the guys have to be careful, but I'm sure they will choose well We shall see.. Incidentally, over here in Manchester, England a British couple local to the area took some video footage of what happened where they were (I think it was Sri Lanka but not certain)....this footage was frightening, and nothing like what I expected to see. The sea just calmly flooded the area (they were on the coast), but it was so stealthy it made me shudder. A few people were actually laughing at first until they realised the enormity of what was happening. The couple had to climb onto the roof of their apartment. They obviously survived, but a lot of friends they made are missing. This is so sad and tragic, made worse by the fact that the actual tsunami there was very calm. I think the water level must have risen by about 10-15 feet in the space of 1 minute. Horrific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
