Re: [original-asia] Upcoming Set Lists For June Shows

(DISCLAIMER: I will not be travelling to Europe... my answer is based upon /ASIA\ returning to the USA.)
***The TOP 3 Songs I "Hope" /ASIA\ Will Add To Their Next Tour Setlist LIVE...***
1) "BURY ME IN WILLOW" (from "X X X") - perhaps the most PENETRATING song of the reunion era. "Bury Me In Willow" is aural lightning in a bottle - every instrumental note, vocal phrasing, and lyric lends itself with economy to a 4-minute piece of music that you'll never forget. This song resonates with SO many fans, because it touches the head, heart, and spirit IMMEDIATELY - and resonates deeply...
2) "LYING TO YOURSELF" (B-Side to "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes") - Thanks to the CD "greatest hits" releases of the band's 80s Gefffen catalog in the 2000s, many /ASIA\ fans seem to know this long buried treasure now. Just WONDERFUL - and interestingly, perhaps one of the most distinctive guitar songs to emerge from the Morin Heights, Quebec / Canada era (for the ALPHA sessions). As "RIDE EASY" tipped its hat from the band towards long-time die-hard fans (like "me" LOL!) on the X X V and X X X tours, this great B-Side would SURPRISE... and make a lot of fans happy. Beautiful, emotional, classic /ASIA\…
3) "ROCK AND ROLL DREAM" (from ASTRA) - EPIC!!! This big song will give Sam Coulson a chance to really *SHOW* what kind of a player he wants to be in /ASIA\…
