      I must admit i really miss the wheel.As outstanding as the oils =
are live i thought that the wheel just added something extra in =
atmosphere to the gig.I think it was the knowing there was a chance of =
hearing something you'd never heard them play live before like 'is it =
now?' and 'somebody's trying to tell me something' which i heard among =
among other rarities for the first and only time thanks to the wheel.
      I know it was designed to fit in with the '20000 watt rsl' theme =
but i would have thought the guys would have kept it as it added a =
little spontaneity to the set lists which i assume would help on a long =
tour.

        Apoligies to European fans who think i'm looking a gift horse in =
the mouth.

...I know what you mean, Jeff, about the 'fantastic front/centre' =
position.=20
That reminds me - on the 20kRSL tour they got a few people on stage at=20
different times to spin the wheel. Pete said they'd happily play =
Weddingcake=20
Island if the couple on stage did the 'Weddingcake Island' dance with =
him.=20
Very fun vibe that night.

Jim.
