Seagull is one of my favorite Paul Rodgers/Bad Company Songs. Why did they CUT it from the setlist? This was on the Queen+Paul Rodgers site today. "'Seagull', which no longer features in the set and features Roger Taylor on bongos, it taken from an earlier show in Barcelona. The band felt it was too good to be over looked." If Brian and the band think the song IS that good, why did they remove it? |

maybe they thought it didn't really fit in the setlist, which I agree with. Great song .. but Paul has better songs that fit the setlist better (Wishing Well..anybody? .. and please PLEASE bring back Little Bit of Love!) |

The Brixton show basically stopped for too long - the momentum that they had was lost and it took a lot out of them to get it all moving again. '39 and LOML were two too many acoustic numbers in the first place. |
| Queen T 27.04.2005 10:54 |
Amen, Hankster! I love "Little Bit of Love"!!! |
| DragonOnMyBack 27.04.2005 10:57 |
They replaced Seagull with Say It's Not True when Paul was having problems with his voice earlier in the Tour. I guess they liked doing Say It's Not True better so have stuck with it. |

Actually they ARE considering to play Wishing Well. But it would be probably instead of one of PR's songs (Feel Like Making Love). |
| nibznik 27.04.2005 12:18 |
i like feel like making love it nice |

Sorry, but in the entire Paul Rodgers repetoire, Seagull is my all time favorite song next to Silver Blue & Gold. Seagull for Paul, is like Love Of My Life for Queen. Acoustic or not...it's STUNNING! Tell you of the dozen some times I have seen The Allman Brothers Band...it's NOT the hard rockers songs that everybody goes nuts over...the audience always practically begs Gregg Allman to come out from behind his Hammond Organ, to play... ..."Melissa" on acoustic guitar..and it always gets the best respose and biggest cheers from the audience. They are cutting out a major gem with the removal of Seagull. It's just exqusite and I heard the version on the Queen+Paul Rodgers website and Paul and Brian & Roger sound magnificent! |
| Hankster 27.04.2005 12:43 |
nah .. I really think they've to add more rockier songs..Wishing Well, Now I'm Here, Headlong.. Say It's Not True is nice .. but together with LomL, 39 and These Are The Days, it slows the show too much down. |

Seagull, Seagull, Seagull... I want it put back in the setlist! And do Silver Blue & Gold too, and Oh Atlanta! |
| doremi 27.04.2005 20:54 |
Sorry..but I don't think it "slows the momentum" of the setlist or show. As LOMY or Is This The World We Created, never did, and currenlty LOML is one of the tour favorites. Just because something is acoustic, doesn't take anything away from it. If they tour the USA, sure I want the hard rock songs. I hope they do Hammer To Fall, TYMD, WWRY, WATC, TSMGO, and Pauls' stuff like Bad Company, Radioactive, Rock & Roll Fantasy, Movin' On, & Gone Gone, Gone---Which I Love!!!! oh I would love Paul to add "Shooting Star" which is sort of acoustic, and a little rocky too. But I want Seagull back. It's the best song he ever did...and again Silver Blue & Gold. |

And Oh Atlanta is a fine Little Feat song. |

Knute - apparently they were discussing this before the Budapest concert at the rehearsal. Don't know if Wishing Well didn't work well but for now they kept Feel Like Making Love in the setlist (and I'm glad for that). |
| Knute 28.04.2005 04:03 |
Bad Co. did a song called Oh Atlanta. Mick Ralphs wrote it. It's on Desolation Angels. Great tune! Alison Krauss did a more honky tonk version of it a few years back that was a decent hit in the US. |

I'd go nuts if they played WISHING WELL. Love that track!!!! About SEAGULL... I think it's better tha Say It's Not true. Sorry Roger!!! |

BTW I NEVER EVER said I hated Paul Rodgers...I also said I saw him in concert 1993 in his Muddy Waters Tribute Tour which he performed great. I just was voicing my opinion that, persnally I had wanted Brian, Roger & if possible, John to tour as Queen and for them to do their own lead vocals. Rodgers is also NOT one of my ALL time favorite singers...but that deosn't mean I don't like him. There are TONS of singers that I like alot...I just don't classify them as my ALL TIME favorites. And...I had forgotten about "Gone Gone Gone". That BC song is SO great. Really wish they would add that too. |

They may have cut it due to the crowd reaction to RMT appearing to play Bongos. At Brixton and the download it does seem to dilute the song. NOT because of the playing but of the crowd reaction. Maybe they feel its uncomfortable and detracts from the meaning. Just a thought.... |
| Knute 28.04.2005 17:58 |
Gone, Gone, Gone would be sweet. As would Live For The Music and Movin' On. |

Just a thought....Roger plays congas (just larger upright versions of bongos) on TATDOOL and that ADDS to the wonderful percussive instrumentation and sound of the song. I heard Paul & Queen's version of Seagull on the website. It's one of the BEST things they've posted on there in my opinion and I think that Paul is more emotive...and powerful...and interprestive...and expressive, when he sings his own material...which comes across gloriously here. Hell if they tour the U.S. and that he sung that one song of his...I 'd be thrilled! |

Cool. I said they had rehearsed Wishing Well and a day after they played it in Hamburg :-) So I wasn't far from the truth after all :-) |
