Fair enough, it goes back to the top of my 80s list then

I saw them at a local festival in 2007, they we're top notch. Night boat was their encore and it went on for about 10 minutes, Absolute Magic!

Night boat to Cairo would be first on my list but I think it was 79.

Always put on a good show - especially now they've figured out it's ok to mix the set list up a little and include a few rarities to please us anoraks who've seen them 50+ times
