And, again, it would be chockfull of miscues. It's in my top five- I basically think it's as close to a perfect song as you can get- but I just can't see it happening. Would love to be proven wrong, obviously.

And I'm glad you concur BPL is the best song of the decade It definitely wasn't phenomenal the one time they played it, but some refining definitely could have done it justice; everything about the song indicates it should rock live, and it's a shame they just discarded it after the second show of the tour. As stated elsewhere, it just seems to me that Jon and Co. gave up on the Circle towards the end of the US Leg. Which is a shame, because the only way to get people to recognize it's got some really good songs is to play them.

His voice is better than in 2008 now, and, his voice is a lot fuller I think, whilst it was higher back then but sounded thin.

I think, however, that 'My Guitar...' is just too much. I really love the song and think it's a masterpiece, but if it were to be done live, it could go very wrong, unfortunately.

'Brokenpromiseland' in my opinion is one of four songs this decade that would rank up there with the best of the 80s/90s. Great song with passion and I think if they really wanted to, they could make it work live. I just hope it gets an airing in one of the next O2 nights so it could be ready for the rest of America/Australia/New Zealand etc. and become a staple. Won't hold my breath, though.

I could say the same for 'BLAZE OF GLORY' but I might just give up with that.
