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!)

And, shitcan AKOM....
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.
Amen, Hankster! I love "Little Bit of Love"!!!
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).
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!

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.

Where did you hear that Mr. Scully?
Seagull, Seagull, Seagull... I want it put back in the setlist! And do Silver Blue & Gold too, and Oh Atlanta!
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.

Jeez Arlene, I thought you hated Paul Rodgers (see previous posts). It's good to see you are coming along. 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).
