Having had the pleasure of seeing ATF twice on their recent tour, and reading the comments following, it occurs to me that only Pilgrim got an airing, and only half at that, from the Signs of Change album.

I am sure that there are one or more reasons for not playing them live, but to me it seems a waste of good material given the huge effort that went into getting the album released, and a shame to consign it to the archives.

My idea is this: revive them in shortened form. I'd offer to do it, but the only notes I know come in fives, tens and twenties (skip the 20s - I'm not that flush!)

If Genesis can revive their old progressive material in shortened (even medley) form, there must be scope for ATF to do the same.

Have a think about it.

There certainly wasn't enough "signs" at the Club Riga gig.

It was one of the only dissapointing things about an otherwise great evening

Ideally, in an ATF gig, the band would play all the songs that they ever performed (they can give Timestar a miss if they want).  The gig may last for eight hours, but I don't think anyone would mind (apart from the band that is).

It would be good to hear the songs from Signs played live again in the synth age, but "Dance of a Marionette" without Andy doing his mime in the middle would not be the same.

Is there footage available? It could be projected, a bit like Elvis (or maybe not!) Didn't Take That do it with Robbie? I wasn't there, honest Guv!!
