Thank you.

Thank you. Right, the bright ones among you will be seeing there's a theme ... that includes us on stage

Thank you. You can tell when the serious drugs started to kick in

Thank you. So the idea of this set is from there to here & back again. I never thought I'd be standing onstage playing a concept set. but I suppose that's what Curaetion 25 is. So, from the Kiss Me album.

Thank you. you can image there was some debate about which song we're going to take now. So at some point, there's going to be a single. This is that point.

Thank you. We're up to 1996 now. My how the years fly. This from the Wild Mood Swings Album

Thank you .. & yet ...we seem [??naked??] so whereas this is from there to here we're kind of here. just about. There might be many more heres next year I hope. So the end of our first part of the journey. This is called 'It Can Never Be The Same'.

Thank you. Let's take 2 minutes for the return journey

So this time back in time. This is called Step Into The Light
