Songs played on rehearsals and soundchecks that didn’t get played live on tour

[dmg]

Secondary Waltz was played live, it was OK although my favourite remains the MK solo version we got to see at Hay.

I heard it played at Newcastle City Hall, but I agree the version from Hay was very special.

They played it in Edinburgh too.  Dreadful song!

Did you not have to do Scottish country dancing at PE at school?

The song resonates with me, it’s pretty much exactly what happened to me every Christmas.

Scottish country dancing at school?  Maybe up North where you are but not down here.  Kind of wish we did as I've got two left feet!

Does someone know if So Far From The Clyde ever been rehearsed?

We had to do country dancing once a week in our pants and vests in primary/first school. For some reason we didn’t get changed into a PE kit, we just took our clothes off. Can you imagine that happening today?

We did PE with no tops on - just our shorts.  We were always at the teacher why the different rule for the girls!

Dance is in the primary p.e curriculum currently.
Nothing about Scottish dancing specifically though.

Oh I agree undoubtedly, the version at Hay-on-Wye was outstanding and I still remember the chuckles from the crowd during the song!

Yeah, we had to do it in December, this was the early 90s.

As per the song it got as far south as Newcastle, Falkirk must have been a black spot!

Here's the tracks released for the cancelled RPD tour that have never been played on tour:

quality shoe
old pigweed
devil baby

Obviously we heard these on promo events but not a tour.

wasn't devil baby played on that first 2008 tour show in Amsterdam, was there but cannot remember. also, the Terminal rehearsal mentioned earlier, was that not a live performance for this "secret gig" ?

No, second night, and it was the only tour performance of that song. I was there too.
