Turn To Stone is back in the set list, at the expense of Shadows. Viewing a few audience clips of Shadows, I thought the band were struggling with it but it's disappointing that the set list is gradually reverting to, tried and tested, as Joe continues to promise surprises.

In Joe's defence, surprises are much harder to spring in the internet age but barring Mother Says, Joe was playing all these songs 12 months ago.

I'd have proffered it, if Joe had persevered with Shadows and replaced eternal opener, Walk Away with the concise version of Turn To Stone. I doubt he's ever opened with it despite it being perfect for the job,

I'm glad he gave Shadows a fair run. Good to have Turn To Stone back.
