HUH - a few of the tracks he may struggle with vocally - although he did seem to start trying the higher notes at the end of that recent A Promise performance with that Glasvegas chap. Crocodiles, I can't see any problems at all and most of the songs suit his current vocals (and don't forget over recent years, Going Up, Crocodiles, Rescue, Villiers Terrace and All That Jazz have all been performed live). Certainly though my bet is HUH is probably a darn sight easier to perform, even performances of With A Hip a few years back were passable. Porcupine though. Mac trying to sing Clay, Porcupine, Ripeness or Gods Will Be Gods. Hmmm... He does appear to manage okay with the high notes on The Cutter or Back of Love though.
I'll still be surprised if it happens, but if it does I hope they don't do it in the Royal Albert Hall or similar again. Just decent sized normal places like the Hammersmith Apollo or the Shepherd’s Bush Empire. RAH was fine for the orchestra backed Ocean Rain, but this is pure guitar-driven music and needs to be played in a more audience friendly type venue.
