Might be since I can't really imagine an interviewer asking about the progress of songwriting for an upcoming record when the band is still touring the previous one. But it's hard to tell really.

I'm almost certain that Afraid of the Night was the predecessor to The Hardest Part Is The Night.

Are you sure or is that just a guess because of the word 'Night'?

It's an assumption but coming from the fact that the final version basically deals with the fact that the night is the troublesome part for the character and Jon saying "which is something that's really happening" (and he later on referred to the song being autobiographical), I'm pretty sure this song just evolved from there and "Afraid of the Night" was the working title. Further on I doubt that they had much more material than the 11 tracks we know from that era since the preparation for the album was down to about 6 weeks.

Some might remember the Bounce & Orchestra videos from 2 years ago. Last night they upped their game even further by doing a similar (yet bigger and more impressive) concert at a historic venue here in Germany. One of the highlights truly was their re-arranged version of Born To Be My Baby. They had taken the TLFR version and added some ingredients from the original and acoustic versions to give the song a different dimension. Worked really well!

Agree!!! Makes sense!!!!

Well that's my afternoon sorted, brilliant stuff!

Though the sound mix was far better a little further back, here's the full show:

I got a question: Is there a Video of Hail the king from London Palladium in HD Quality??? I only find audio without video or very very bad quality. :(

There are no videos from London... Just fan made ones with SBD sync... Only NYC and a couple from Red Bank...

Bobby plays a single note for over 20 seconds. I don't know if I should find that hilarious or just really sad...
