You pay the bill, you get to write the playbill... you have to tell them which songs to play, and you can demand that they do not play some songs at all. You even get to say which songs they play in the encore. The only limit is their endurance, so the contract limits you to about 20 songs, or no more than about 3 hours. You tell me then: what is your eccentric millionaire playlist? P.S. if you will say that they can play whatever they want, then you aren't eccentric, so don't!

The last song could fit in to the category of "play what you want" but it would be written specifically for me according to secret specs, so it would definitely land in to the very eccentric category.

The encore would be (in any order they'd prefer) Business Woman, Authority, Drought, Leave Your Clothes On, The Myths You Made, and Freeze To Burn. They are enjoined to not play Macabre Tavern. But if they believe they can rescue that song and make it worth listening they can go ahead and include it. As much is the faith I have in their talent that I won't deny them the chance to play a song so lacklustre that "if I never hear it again that will be way too soon" and that was voted their worst one here in HW. But I dislike it so much that my first instinct (and their instructions if they have any doubts about the song being worthy of reinterpretation) is to ban it from the setlist. The encore should include The Time Being Redux, a reinterpretation of the song as they would play it if they had composed it now, a reinvention, a (non-acoustic!) reinterpretation of my favorite Church song. Also, I'm paying for full exclusive rights to the recording of the gig (audio and video). I they keep on deciding against releasing live recordings and I'm paying them to play live I want a recording. As a self-respecting eccentric millionaire I wouldn't mind paying extra (but given how they have not released live recordings maybe they should give me a discount in the gig fee to guarantee I would not release it. ) Now to start saving those millions I'd need to hire them.....

Columbus Posts: 977 (12/03/2011 01:56) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Since they keep touring with a three full album format I think I'll keep taking the easy way and instead of choosing a playlist I'll chose three albums: Gold Afternoon Fix (+GAF demos) Priest=Aura Sometime Anywhere + Somewhere Else (minus Macabre Tavern plus The Time Being redux as said before) Despite many comments through the years of how the band members are not too happy with GAF I believe it's a great album, and with my millions (if I had them) I'd force them to rediscover and reassess this album by playing it along with the GAF demo songs (I'd be OK if they chose not to play all the other songs from those sessions but I do demand that they play The Feast and Forgotten Reign). Of course if they don't gain new appreciation for it they still would have to play it if I'm paying them to do it. :P I actually think this could be a good gig, three albums that were released one after the other but each is very different from the other.

I'de have to give the playlist some thought. I would probably request my favorite solo stuff from all to be played as the church. b
