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.

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).
Cool! I think it would go down a storm, but FLML is more well known.
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!!!

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.
There are TWO entirely different songs called Oh Atlanta. The song written by and for Little Feat...and the one written by and for Bad Company. Like there are TWO entirely different songs called Dreams, one written by Gregg Allman for The Allman Brothers Band, and one by and for Fleetwood Mac.
BC's "Oh Atlanta" is Great!
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....
Gone, Gone, Gone would be sweet.
As would Live For The Music and Movin' On.

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 :-)
