1.  Accoustic set...

I've been saying for a long time too that it would be great to hear some of our fav songs played with accoustic instruments. As a friend of mine said to me not long ago (at the Bristol Greatest Hits tour), the last time he'd seen the band play in Bristol was at the time they were about to break up and he could almost remember it being much the same in the way it was orchestrated - a point I had to agree with. So what it needs now is some new stuff mixed in with old stuff - some of which should be played in a new way (and what better than an accoustic set?)

Your thoughts?

OK
 
I have a good news. Well actually it's really the fact that I've finally received the RCA labelled album CD of Level 42's "Guaranteed". Initially I only had the cassette, but now my collection is complete!! The BMG labelled album, although mixed with tracks from "Forever Now", was missing a track called "A Kinder Eye". I'd say that a couple of lines from this track can really give me goosebumps sometimes. Now don't be asking me why the heck it is so. It just makes me feel that way. Anyways it came all the way from Down Under and now having a whole collection of their albums, it feels like holding heaven in my hands!!
 
Cheers!!

'% common interest' listing of every Digest subscriber's top-20 favorite musician/bands.
How cool would it be to learn that a substantial of other Level 42 fans are also into band _____?"
