With its polka tempo, crowd participation and crazy chorus this track fits perfectly into the Mad setlist…

| and it's quite early in the set as well. The audience last tour concerts only really got going when MTYCDT came on. No excuses this time |

| Reinforcements is the one I'm most happy to see here, but I'm super excited about Goofing Off and Whippings and Apologies too -- both songs seem like they were made to play live. I'm curious to see how PDFUMW comes off in concert, but I think any other two songs from A Steady Drip would be much better choices than the two they're playing. And except for Lord Have Mercy, I would have picked a totally different set of songs from Mad! |

| I quite liked it when they used to play their latest album complete in the first half and then assorted stuff later...... That may have only been done 3 times l think,but l always thought it was quite a good solution to what is really an unsolvable quandary! |

To me, PDFUMW sounded great live, although I wouldn’t say it was outstanding. The reaction was rather mild compared to other songs. But I liked it. It’s quite relatable, the world is really f****d up right now…
I was surprised they did not perform A Little Bit Of Light Banter and went for All That. Isn’t Banter the better closer for this tour?

I do hope they will avoid PDFUMW ... in the future
and though Banter is not my favourite song of the new
album it is much better than All That |

Just an observation that some bands have dedicated closers and have stuck with them for years. Sparks have not but "All That" has been there since 2022.
A question for the historians, what song has had the longest tenure as the closer for Sparks?
