here is no why

as said, i'd be surprised if he gets out to Europe again, especially any time soon.

I'm still more thinking in the direction that it hasn't been played at all than it has. These folks seem to fully believe it has though, so i'm not sure what's going on. So many people have been complaining for years now though about it, like he said. I've never seen someone come on and say they heard it. Oh well, maybe Matt would be able to lend a hand on this subject.

what year are you thinking it was? would love to hear a recording of it though full band. Probably my favourite track on the Audio of Being and think it would be mega played at these upcoming full band shows.

I've seen House of Smoke and Mirrors live in Hamilton. I'm still fairly certain Man of Action has never been done live before. One of my favourite songs, still waiting to hear it.

http://mattgood.imgarbage.com/tour/1999-08-19-edmonton.html there's one of them, at least.

Paul Weller too... should be great, i'm a pretty big Oasis fan and always have been.

First album was great... the second one just didn't live up to it.

if it counts, the recent MG Buffalo bootleg.

Man of Action has never been done live... to my knowledge.

How anyone can be a Smiths fan and not like Meat is Murder is beyond me. I'm pretty much the same way, a friend told would always be raving about them and I never could handle Morrissey, not in the least until about a year ago I sat down and listened to (basically) their whole discography. Never looked back really, just a unique sound for the time and some amazing songwriting involved.

what does everyone think of them? Over-rated? Amazing? I'm interested to see what everyone says about them.

I understand your complaint... but take it from his point of view, nobody needs that. Why didn't anyone say anything to her, make her stop?

I'm with you on this one... I would love it if I went to one of his shows and he didn't play any of these three. Also, I'd love to hear Annabelle live too... I think it would be incredible. ...and A Single Explosion with the full band will be great, one of my favourites on the album and have been waiting for a proper version of it live.

sounds great as usual. nice vid!

the woman sounds like she was being a complete idiot, Matt did the right thing for himself.

i'd upload it on here too... will i get in trouble for posting a download link to it on here?

;) as if it's hard for him to bring another guitar around. he doesn't really "lug" anything himself either. the reason we don't get this song is the tuning for it.

he's right... the new album sounds great. definitley better than their first record which was still top notch.

Too bad we'll never see it again.

This song is the most under-rated on the album for sure... never hear anyone talk of it.

Easily one of my favourite albums ever made. Could listen to it at any time, any day... and still love it. Man of Action needs to get played live, for the sake of the fans Matt!!! At least once... would be a perfect first song for the encore. What's everyone's favourite track from the Audio of Being? Do you think the b-sides should have been on the album?

that's what i'm thinking... it's not too hard though, pretty easy.

He should give up his perception of the AOB songs and start playing them fully, this would be great to hear for once, along with some others from this era of course.

really nice quality video there...

This has never been done live... not even on his acoustic tour? has it? I wonder why not... What are people's thoughts of this tune? Do we know what Matt thinks of it?
