great setlist, but i prefer the album version of lonely in your nightmare...and i would like to hear beautiful colors, salt in the rainbow, a matter of fact and fallen angel as well.. not sure about sin of the city, but midnight sun and so long suicide if two of my absolute favourites... not to forget The flame and Election day, as well as another take on a electro set...The Valley is also a RCM favourite.. Yep, Beautiful Colours, Salt in the Rainbow (but only the short 3:35 version - it has the best vocal take IMO), Matter of Fact, and Fallen/Falling Angel all could easily have made my list as well, but I think I was keeping it to things that have seen official release (hmm...might have to open it up to all recordings and fill 2 CDs worth)! I think Sin of the City is a near-masterpiece, mainly due to the serious subject matter, daringly uncomfortable chord progression in the chorus, and that BADASS, angry JT bassline. The only thing that holds it back (IMO) is the somewhat cheesy drum machine track. Still, I love it and consider it highly underrated. Also, if we're talking Arcadia, then Keep Me in the Dark, Goodbye Is Forever, The Promise, and El Diablo would also be right up there for me. As for the Valley, while Box Full O' Honey is the only song I truly like off RCM, I will admit I don't mind The Valley or Falling Down. Most of the rest I don't even give half a thought to (as usual for DD, the non-album Cry Baby Cry is better than most of the album tracks)!

Just had to add Liberty to my cool list above, plus My Antarctica and Cry Baby Cry.
I like the Take 1 version of My Antarctica because although the words are complete and utter nonsense!, the ending is softer, and feels more hopeful and warmer.
I guess fans could talk hidden gems all day long. I guess the most over-rated gem is Faith in this Colour. I remember I used to think the track very futuristic, but now it sounds like a Kraftwork demo.
