I would only add SO SISTER to that becuase its amazing live. Lets hope that is the set list because it has a combined disc time of around the 2 Hours 16 Minutes mark (yes im bored)

I don't really think they should even bother with any of the Urban Hymns stuff, just bring out the older jams! Alright, Come On and The Rolling People would be ace too, but let's leave out Sonnet and that, yea? I suppose Urban Hymns is what the fairweather fans like, so you cant blame the lads. Sure they'll be ace whatever they play.

as long as they play sonnet, lucky man and rolling people. i'm happy!!

Surely A Nothern Soul has to be in there?? it needs to be near the beginning. pleeeease! catching the butterfly could be replaced by something better - maybe space and time or weeping willow?

I'm keen to hear the new tracks more than anything but as i've not seen them live yet I would also like to hear: Gravity Grave Blue She's A Superstar A New Decade Come On Lucky Man Bittersweet Symphony All In The Mind Slide Away The Rolling People Man Called Sun On Your Own So Sister

My setlist and order: This Is Music A New Decade The Rolling People Sonnet Slide Away Man Called Sun A Northern Soul 6 o'clock On Your Own History The Drugs Don't Work (nice little group of acoustic songs as a breather) Space & Time Life's An Ocean Blue All In The Mind She's A Superstar Lucky Man Come On Encore: Echo Bass Gravity Grave Bittersweet Symphony

Would love to see space and time added to the setlist aswell it is a fine tune !!!

As someone who is lucky enough to be seeing them play Glasgow on 2nd November I'd love the greatest band we've ever seen play the following: 'A New Decade' 'This Is Music' 'On Your Own' 'Weeping Willow' 'Blue' 'Star Sail' 'Space And Time' 'Brainstorm Interlude' 'She's A Superstar' 'A Man Called Sun' 'Lucky Man' 'Sonnet' 'Velvet Morning' 'Life's An Ocean' 'Butterfly' 'All In The Mind' 'A Northern Soul' 'Drive You Home' 'No Knock At My Door' 'Gravity Grave' 'See You In The Next One Have A Good Time' 'History' Encore: 'So It Goes' 'The Drugs Don't Work' 'Slide Away' 'Bittersweet Symphony'

i would love them to play Rolling People, a new decade, space & time, history, on your own, come on & obviously Lucky Man, bittersweet symphony - some new ones to give some idea of what to expect from the new album, but to be fair i know that it will be amazing cos The Verve are the greatest band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait Its gonna be legendary

It doesn't mean they're going to play 26 songs every night though, does it? I reckon they'll do 20-22 songs with a few options for mixing up the setlist a little. I guess Urban Hymns will be the album they mine the most for back catalogue.

Surely those 26 songs will include some new stuff - and if it's anything like Thaw then that's fine with me!

Throw in ... So It Goes Beautiful Mind Country SOng Longest Day Echo Bass LIttle Gem

as long as mccabe is back who cares wot they play

I would be well happy if we don't see a single acoustic guitar at these gigs. Ashcroft has done stuff like Drugs, Sonnet, Space + Time to death in the last nine years when he’s been solo. Let’s get the old Verve groove going! All in the Mind to kick things off then a 15-minute Gravity Grave to end would be amazing.

play the entire 1st half of ashcroft 2nd solo album ;)

Yeah, I'd rather hear See You in The Next One than Sonnet and rather hear This Could Be My moment than Lucky Man. Stick Butterfly and Brainstorm Interlude in there too!

I don't think they're gonna play 26 songs each night. In no order .... This Could Be My Moment BSS Sonnet The Rolling People The Drugs Don't Work Lucky Man Velvet Morning A New Decade This is Music On Your Own History Life's An Ocean Gravity Grave Slide Away Butterfly Star Sail Blue All in the Mind + 2 new songs

well, let us say 6 O'clock man called sun so sister one way to go gravity grave star sail this is music mover drive your home she's a superstar a new decade life's an ocean south pacific blue

A New Decade, Slide Away, This Is Music, Rolling People, *New Song*, On Your Own, All In The Mind, Space And Time, South Pacific, Life's An Ocean, *New Song*, Lucky Man, Man Called Sun, History, Make It Til' Monday, Sonnet, One Way To Go, Stormy Clouds, Drugs Don't Work, Come On, *ENCORE* Bitter Sweet Symphony, She's A Superstar, Gravity Grave,

If they play velvet morning, A New Decade,one dayThis is is music,blue, Space and time,history,Come on, and on your own then I'll be happy!!!!! The verve just shit good songs fucking love em grew up listening to Northern soul along with Definitely Maybe and The Roses great Period for me! Anyway a New Decade..and am going to see them on the 2nd of November here in sunny Glasgow! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonder if my band could support them..........

I got into them through urban hymns but learned to love the older stuff, particularly A northern Soul. from urban hymns id wanna hear - weeping willow, space & time, the rolling people , come on, bittersweet & drugs dont work.. A northern soul - stormy clouds , lifes an ocean, this is music , on your own , history, a northern soul.. older stuff wud have to include gravity grave ,blue, she's a superstar, star sail and slide away would be an unbelievable set opener.. theres some amazing acoustic b-sides to choose from 2 - so sister , i see the door , the crab . we're spoilt for choice! roll on glasgow academy 2rd and 3rd !! and the secc gig :D

In no particular order... All in the mind, She's a superstar, Man called sun, Gravity Grave, Star Sail, Slide Away, Make it til monday, Blue, Where the geese go, Let the damage begin, A new decade, This is music, So it goes, A northern soul, No knock on my door, Stormy clouds, Stormy clouds reprise, Life's an ocean, The rolling people, Mover, Come on, Stamped ... and as much jamming as possible

Seiing as the lastour hardly had any material pre A Northern Soul, it would be awesome to hear Gravity Grave and All in the Mind live as well as Shes a Superstar and Slide Away. Don't want it to be all Urban Hymns...

Grey Skies, the best B-side ever written by anyone. Ever. Even Funkadelic. Please please pleeeease.

If they actually play Gravity Grave its going to be the best nine minutes of my life for sure.

Ones not on your list that they should definitely consider are 'Space and Time'... 'This Time'.. uplifting tune and also 'I see the Door'.. beautiful song!

This Is Music All In The Mind Sonnet Already There I see the door Life's an ocean Slide Away On Your Own She's a supestar Weeping Willow So Sister History Lucky Man Make it till monday No Knock on my door Virtual World A man called sun Bitterweet symphony Come On Gravity Grave

Good set list Jamie, but personally I'd maybe drop some of the Urban Hymns ones... I'd certainly keep Rolling People & Come On - they're excellent live. Unless I am missing something, nobody has mentioned The Sun, The Sea... or Three Steps... (Never seen the latter live before). Can't wait to see if they play She's A Superstar, Gravity Grave, Man Called Sun & All In The Mind on 2nd November! (can you tell I'm old school?) Come On!

The set list at the top seems pretty good to me, but my fave One Way To Go isn't included, that would be cool!

Nothing off Urban Hymns please...And no sappy ballads. Just turn Nick's guitar up and throw a lot of verb on Dick's voice!

Surely 26 songs is too many for one gig? Most of thir songs are really long!

Travelling from Worcester to Glasgow on 2/11for what promises to be the greatest come back night ever. It doesn't matter what they play and in what order because everything thev'e produced is awsome!!

- A New Decade - This is Music - She's A Superstar - Blue - No Come Down - Slide Away - Make it till Monday - On Your Own - Dance on your Bones - Gravity Grave - History - Echo Bass - Sonnet - Bitter Sweet Symphony Encore - Drugs Don't Work (Accoustic) - Butterfly - Gravity Grave - Come On I think I could just go on adding tracks, but lets stick with that!

Dear Richard, Nick, Simon and Peter. Being someone who saw you quite a few times in those early heady days (back when a lot of NME readers were still in Playschool), and I do mean the early days (90/91), I'm looking forward to seeing you RIP the roof off the Roundhouse, London, on Nov.9. Just Rock it! Really blow our heads off, the more you can jam up, and recreate that wild psychosoulrock atmosphere that you did up in Wigan/Manchester the better. Reading the above posts, I think your set list is shaping up fine ... the more of the first two albums you can play the better, and a few of the rockier numbers from the 3rd album ok, but those of us true to your style want to hear a few new numbers, a few reposts to the modern rhubarb that seems to grace our airwaves, a few real treats that only you 4 can produce - I personally want to hearGravity Grave as you did it (one more time) at Glasto' back '93. The rockier you get, the rockier we'll be and the rockier the world will lay down in front of you as your 4th album roars to no.1 and teaches a few lessons. Gents, it is a real pleasure to have you back in our thoughts, and come November our ears, and come soon our iPods and HiFi's. Go on, stun everyone and NOT play Bittersweet ... keep Jagger/Richards(Oldham) off the PRS sheet! Bless, PS. Thaw is wonderful - New Verve .... COOOOOOL ;~)

Good setlist, but I would substitute 'Sonnet' with 'One Way To Go.'

I am lucky enough to be going to the roundhouse gig on the 9th November so would love to hear, Lucky man, Slide away, Bitter Sweet symphony, Drugs don't work, Space and time, Rolling People, Velvet morning, Weeping willow and A northern soul in no particular order, Can't wait for the gig. Nice to see the boys back together!

hopefully they open with the rolling people that wud be amazin and i agree with a lot of other people i hope they play a lot of rockier tunes although a mass sing a long to the likes of sonnet, lucky man, bss and the drugs...., will be great too, i defo wanna hear history and come on, i've been excited about seeing them since the morning of t in the park when i got my ticket and it's almost hear next saturday night i will see my favourite band of all time after seeing richard many times i know the wait will have been worth it. COME ON.

A yankee here who has followed the group's every move since 94. Surely a 'This is Music' followed by 'Slide Away' will start their sets. Close with either 'Gravity Grave' or 'The Sun, The Sea'-extended like they did back in 1995. I would drop my jaw though if they pulled out something between 'Let the Damage Begin', 'Mover', 'Change My Life' or 'Feel.' Hope they bless the States with their magic next year.

I think it would be amazing if they did some of ashcrofts solo stuff too but in a band rendition, just a couple like New York would be good cos it can b quite psycedelic and maybe break the night with colour or check the meaning. also butterfly needs to be on there.

All of Urban Hymns and History, new decade, on your own and this is music from Northern Soul. Not really mush of a fan of their first album.

definitely the following:- 1) star sail 2) so sister 3) let the damage begin 4) history 5) where the geese go 6) this is music 7) on your own 8) already there 9) a new decade 10) a northern soul 11) the rolling people 12) weeping willow 13) lucky man 14) bittersweet symphony 15) space and time i'd settle for anything really, just come to canada sometime soon lads!

my list a new decade this is music history catching the butterfly weeping willow sonnet on your own space and time slide away lifes an ocean drive you home this time no knock on my door the drugs dont work she's a superstar rolling people come on encore one day velvet morning bittersweet symphony

Verve, oh Verve, you have made an other wise poor year amazing, play what you will, seen you few times before up north, the best shows were always up north, there will be fireworks whatever you play but please dont leave out Blue, All in the mind or NORTHERN SOUL!!! Cant wait to come up to Blackpool for what promises to best weekend ever.. Cant wait..

They could do a whole set of Simply Red songs and I'd still cream my drawers.

P.S. As long as they kicked things off with Star Sail.

Some B-sides would be welcome And what about expanded reissues of all the albums?

slide away blue new decade this is music on your own first time they'll be on stage together in the best city for live music. The scene is set for history in glasgow. Cannae wait!

One Way To Go - its mindblowing. Enough said!

I'm with initialshock; The Sun, The Sea is the Verve track I would most like to hear them play. Roll on the rounhouse!

As soon as those strings come in and Ashcroft starts quoting Balke back at me, I'm going to be happy, the definition thereof. Good call with No Knock On My Door too, really underrated track. Come On, Slide Away, Rolling People, whatever...just never thought I'd get the chance, what a night the 21st of December will be. History in the making, some might say.

Looking forward to seeing the original Space Cowboys again, particularly Mr. McCabes genius guitar work. Open with "This is Music"...close with "Come On" and in between "No knock on my Door". All would pretty much blow the place apart. That heavy psychedelic sound banged out with total chin out "have it" attitude. Nobody does it better. Anything else would be just fine. That'll do me cockers!

I'm going to the Camden gig and i hope they open with "Come on!" That baseline is going to sen the fans crazy! Follow that with "This is music" and the crowd will surely go nuts! I've been to a few gigs, but this could go down in history. Can't wait!

Been a fan since back in the day so great to see they're back for more! A storm in Heaven was the greatest come down record ever made! What a jouney. lovin the suggestions already! See You In The Next One (Have A Good Time) is the one for me! I see the door, Slide away, Blue, This is music

flying from los angeles to see them at the roundhouse. i want to hear. a new decade, blue, rolling people, the sun the sea, history, space and time, gravity grave, all in the mind, on our own, slide away, sonnet, star sail, see in the next one, the drugs dont work, already there, so it goes, weeping willow, make it til monday, velvet morning, shes a superstar, lucky man, one day, feel, and come on.

Will be ecstatic whatever is played, but I wouldn't miss "Drugs Don't Work" if I never heard it again... Lots from A Northern Soul and Storm in Heaven would be cool. Can't wait for Blackpool, and new album!

Man Called Sun, Slide Away, Blue, Life's an Ocean, So Sister,

Some of the more obscure stuff, like Stamped, Beautiful Mind, Longest Day etc would be great

well here's my stab at the list, prefer lots of oldies on there to be honest, but just happy to be going....not necessarily in running order.... star sail, 6 o'clock, life's an ocean, stormy clouds, already there, blue, catching the butterfuly, a northern soul, this is music, gravity grave, man called sun, all in the mind, history, bittersweet symphony, reprise, see you in the next one, velvet morning, back on my feet again, make it til monday, lucky man, come on, never wanna see you cry, new decade, i see the door

and there's more, A beautiful mind, no come down, butterfly, grey skies, on your own, so it goes...im sure ive just listed all the verve songs here...oops, hope they can play all night!

Love to see 'Blue' live, but why not throw in 'New York' as its a great live track, plus lots of new stuff. Open with all of 'Storm in Heaven', plenty of 'Northern..' and little of 'Urban Hymns', then I'll leave the Roundhouse a happy man. Really looking forward to it, but please play Blue.

how about: this is music slide away the rolling people all in the mind a northern soul weeping willow sonnet blue lifes an ocean shes a superstar gravity grave velvet morning a man called sun on your own bitter sweet symphony stormy clouds a new decade history come on

1. Gravity Grave 2. new song 3. a northern soul 4. so sister! so sister! sister! 5. come on 6. on your own 7. history 8. weeping willow 9. already there 10. slide away 11. blue 12. she's a superstar 13. sonnet 14. rolling people 15. three steps 16. i see the door 17. never wanna see you cry 18. lucky man (only cos people will moan if they don't!) 19. a man called sun 20. stormy clouds encore: 21. life's an ocean 22. bittersweet

I would love them to add, the crab, never wanna see you cry, little gem, I see the door and back on my feet again

Have to say that they will rescue music again with whatever they play but See You in the Next One, Back on My Feet Again, should be in there as well as Let the Damage Begin to open the set with. After i have wondered lonely streets i will see the boys blow the roof off the Roundhouse on the 9th. Come On!!!!!!

Star Sail - This Is Music - A New Decade - Slide Away - Lucky Man - South Pacific - A Man Called Sun - On Your Own - The Drugs Don't Work - No Come Down - A Northern Soul - The Rolling People - Bitter Sweet Symphony. Encores: She's A Superstar - History - Come On. Et à la fin: Gravity Grave. On the other hand, they could just play their first three singles (and B sides) and I'd die a happy and fulfilled man...

The dream set-list: 'Star Sail' ‘A New Decade’ ‘This Is Music’ ‘Slide Away’ ‘Sonnet’ ‘A Man Called Sun’ 'Already There’ ‘The Rolling People’ ‘South Pacific’ ‘The Sun, The Sea’ ‘So It Goes’ ‘Catching The Butterfly’ ‘On Your Own’ ‘Lucky Man’ 'Little Gem’ ‘Velvet Morning’ ‘Life’s An Ocean’ ‘All In The Mind’ ‘Gravity Grave’ ‘History’ ‘Come On’ ‘Stormy Clouds/Reprise’ Encore: ‘She’s A Superstar’ ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ ‘A Northern Soul' 'See You In The Next One" ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’

They'll be tempting to do at least half of the urban hymns stuff cos it got em so many more fans but as long as superstar, all in the mind, gravivty grave and man called sun are in it will make my night, bring on the empress ballroom gigs, on countdown

No acoustic songs please. Let McCabe run the show.

I'd love it be mostly Northern Soul and Urban Hymns. Definitely want to hear: - A New Decade - Life's an Ocean - No Knock On My Door - This is Music - So It Goes - On Your Own - Northern Soul - History - Velvet Morning - One Day - Sonnet - Drugs Don't Work - Bittersweet Symphony - Space and Time - Lucky Man - Rolling People

Surely 'Gravity Grave' has to be included on any set list. it would take me back to the first time I ever saw the lads play The Krazy House in Lpool - From Wigan with Love! Anyhow, I have my ticket for the Roundhouse gig on the Friday. Can't wait to be reaquainted with the most important band (in my opinion) to come out of the UK in my generation.

Set 1 A Northern Soul A Man Called Sun Catching the Butterfly> Blue>jam>No Come Down Gravity Grave> 11-min new groovy jam> This is Music Set 2 The Drugs Don’t Work So Sister Bittersweet Symphony Butterfly> Star Sail> jam> new song> Slide Away> The Sun, The Sea>jam> End

Star Sail, Already There and Beautiful Mind have all gotta be in there, as well as Life's An Ocean. And Urban Hymns cuts should be kept to a minimum. I can imagine a rollicking version of Gravity Grave similiar to Glastonbury 93 would go down a storm as well. But really I just wanna hear Star Sail live, that would blow my mind.

Leave Urban Hymns alone. It's pompous and self-important, lacking in the class and grace of the first two albums. This could be a great comeback if the songs are like the first two albums. This could be a pain in the jacksy if Mad Richard keeps writing songs like Urban Hymns and his turgid solo stuff. I See The Door, On Your Own, You And Me, Gravity Grave, A Man Called Sun and This is Music are the only necessities for me.

Cant wait for the O2 gig!!. 1.So sister 2.Where the geese go.3 She's a superstar. 4. Gravity Grave. 5.Rolling people I will be happy if they just play them 5 Its going to be an amazing comeback!!!

i agree with that setlist, buti think they should finish with come on, so swop it with bittersweet symphony and jobs a good un
