I'm inclined to think Bryan will show and that the reluctance to confirm is because he's a special guest (that being the case you may well be right - possibly one song only but we can hope for more!!). I've just booked a ticket. Anyone in the UK looking at the RFH website and checks ticket availability will see a message that tickets for this event "may" be sold out but to check with the box office - I can say tickets are still available but the website message may be an indication they're now in short supply.

I never really cared for this song on the album, but I remember hearing it on the Bete Noire tour and being completely overwhelmed by it. Maybe Bryan was having a good night or something. I can't think, off the top of my head, of anything I really liked on record but which was underwhelming live, but perhaps something will come to mind.
