It might have been in 2000 when folks were aggravating him to play this or 
that in the setlist, and maybe after that occasion when someone had posted 
their dream setlist on his hotel door.  As I recall, it was a diary entry to 
the effect that after they were on the road was too late to requests songs, 
because they had to have backing tapes or extra guitarists, etc. to play 
many of them.  I thought ICSFM was one of those mentioned.

This was one reason I thought they planned to bring Simon along on this 
tour, to provide the extra guitarist.  Apparently they had expected to play 
a number of seldom (or never) heard songs, but gave it up after John died.  
Perhaps they thought ICSFM suffered a little too much from the lack of John. 
 I was really pleased with "Another Tricky Day."  It was the highlight of 
the tour.

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation,
Aquarius, Aquarius.
