Odd version of Falling Dove ! For me it’s such and obviously folksy acoustic guitar song . The piano bit is weird !
Ooh, intriguing 😄! A weird piano bit sounds fascinating.
"... Neil once said “ and it might just be the best thing we’ve ever done “ , so I never got that feeling . Again he started of his show with some very warm words about it...
I also wondered if the personnel on the album has somehow subconsciously made him distance himself from the album a bit in recent months / years ?"
It's nice he gave the album a few compliments. It's no classic (in my opinion) but always puts a smile on my face.
Nah, I don't think personnel isn't the reason (even subconsciously) for distancing from playing the songs. The band is currently playing a large amount of Together Alone songs, which almost has the same lineup as on the Intriguer album (Matt instead of Paul). Including playing Locked Out, which you know who (!) made the suggestion to speed it up.
My speculation is, Neil will play the songs he believes the fans want to hear. And because Intriguer was the least commercially successful album, maybe he's a bit discouraged to play them then.
