One of the problems I have with Elvis is how he treats those first albums as his essential canon and feels compelled to do five-six songs from them every show. I guess he feels that's what the casual (and longtime hardcore) fan wants to hear.
I guess. I never liked "Alison" much anyway. Songs like "Worthless Thing," "King of Thieves," "Town Cryer," "Next Time Round," and "Suit of Lights" (amongst dozens of others) are just as good as songs from those three. And if he wants to mine those three, why doesn't he ever do "Night Rally" or "Good Squad?"
He's almost like Oasis. But there's a reason that Oasis mainly do songs from their first two albums...
