I always thought NMA were missing a trick by never opening with 'Brother'...  ;)

Awesome track.

In these interesting times, I'd like to hear them come up with a cover of Eve Of Destruction. Always felt it was a song NMA could do something with.

Failing that, it's gotta be No Pain. I know they've played it a lot, but never when I've been at the gig.

Ah, Whirlwind... the very first NMA song I ever heard live, when I was just an innocent, skinny teenage lad who had little gig experience and certainly no experience of an NMA moshpit... thought it would be a nice viewpoint, up front and central, I could have a fun time with all these other people, although I couldn't understand why they were taking their shirts off..  :o

I think we all know where that story was heading.   ;D

Deffo a song I'd love to hear again, live.

My People

Only heard that once at Berlin Bizarre Festival 1992 - my first NMA gig by the way ;)

Now, Lupus, and Master Ray, your choices sound really cool.

I also would like to hear My People live once at least!

One one three "S" songs,
Southwest
Sunset
best is the very rare Sooner Or Later (only a few or none (I) of ones here have ever been able to listen it live at a gig)
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

R&R or Killing.
With the current band line up I reckon they would sound amazing.

Another vote for RnR!  Damn, forgotten that one, wasn't it the usual opener for the 'Eight' tour?  I need to get back onto the 'Eight' album, it's been a while.

this gets better! Think they played 'killing' live in 2015 during the winter BWAB tour but don't take as gospel as only went to 2 dates x

Going to chuck some more in the mix in case anyone important is having setlist difficulties so here We go:

Aimless Desire
R&R
Believe It
BOBP
La Push
Gimme Shelter
DYMIS?
The Charge
Dawn

That would sound like a crackin' good set. And La Push has been played only few times, if not only once, I think.

If I think about a list of uncommon NMA songs from each album - that I'd like to hear live, it might be something like this:

No Greater Love
Western Dream
Family Life
Innocence
Understand U
Aimless Desire
Far Better Thing
RnR
Prayer Flags
Dawn
La Push
Qasr El Nil Bridge
Sunrise
Drifts

...depending on Drifts I'm not sure how much they play songs from Winter though. And I know they used to play No Greater Love quite recently, but wasn't present at those gigs. I think most of the tracks on No Rest for The Wicked are actually "uncommon" tracks besides No Rest. And Qasr El Nil Bridge, it was mentioned in one interview by JS after release of BDAW. I think he said playing it live could rather sound like a drumming chaos so they don't play it. Or something like that...

I love the way my request for ONE song has gradually grown into full setlists.  ;D

That must allow me to add one other song to my original request   ;) - would love to hear 'Frightened'
