Just saw a picture from the Thetford Forest show which looks like it could mean The Humpty Dumpty Love Song is back in the setlist. Can't think what other songs would be just Fran, capo on 3, with Doug and Andy having a breather sitting on the drum riser...
Any clues? |

| From the setlists I have seen, the humpty dumpty love song has replaced U16 Girls, which I'm a bit gutted about, but at least I have seen it a couple of times on this tour now. |

For the record, not so in Amsterdam. They played both U16 Girls and Humpty Dumpty in the encore. I put this down to info from a local guy in the crowd ("Johan no 2"!)telling me that the Invisible Band was the album that made Travis in Holland. This came exactly one week after Hammersmith, where we got U16 Girls only (a 3-song encore of that, plus Flowers, plus Rain).
Personally, I'd have preferred Happy to Humpty, cos I like my Travis rocking, not chilling, but you can't have everything. ;) |

Seen Happy twice on this tour, as well as WDIAROM- so it's all possible!
Hopefully Humpty has packed his shell for Belfast :) |

| Happy instead of Humpty Dumpty if you ask me, not that there is anything wrong with Humpty Dumpty, just Happy is better as a live song. |

It's been a while since i've heard Humpty played live though- 5 gigs ago! So i'd rather hear that than Happy these days.
Of course the ultimate (More Than Us) should always be played before everything. But it hardly ever gets an outing! :( |

And also good to hear (from the man himself!) that Battleships is nestled in there too. My friend Sara loves it and she's been telling me to ask Fran to play it- and now he will :)
Humpty and Battleships in the same set- looks like Belfast could be pretty alright! |

I saw More Than Us first 2 times I saw Travis live, haven't heard it since then though. |

| Only time i remember hearing it was the Singles tour. It might have been played in 1999 when i saw them, but i can't remember- i'm sure it was though! |
