david says:
I was recently asked which five songs of those I played on the string of dates from Roseland to Boston this year, did I most enjoy performing. The difficulty with this question is that the nature of the shows generally changed quite a bit from night to night and so did my preferences. However, all round fave performances for me were:

1. Heathen (The Rays)
2. 5.15 The Angels Have Gone
3. Slip Away
4. Let's Dance (believe it or not)
5. Be My Wife
6. Ziggy Stardust

OK, so that's six... So sue me, they're my bloomin' songs, I'll list as many as I like. Though I must emphasize that it really did change from night to night.

info:
Part of the tour is called "Searching for Jackalopes Tour". The last part of the US tour was called the Marathon tour.
