This is actually alot tougher than it may seem at first! 25 songs - easy!...until you do it on paper first and realise you're having to cut back from a list of nearer 40. I guess it comes down to your own 'selfish set list' but not necessarily your all time Runrig Top 25, coz as we all know many of their song arrangements have matured & developed (for better or worse - but thats a different topic!) from the studio version, making them more appealing live than on record (Protect & Survive, Going Home, and boy-oh-boy Loch Lomond, the Highland Connection version is a cringe IMHO!), Vice versa there are songs (mostly recent) that they cannot perform live due to the amount of overdubs & layered recording. I remember going to see them on the earliest Stamping Ground tour and coming away at the end thinking 'Am I missing something here...they didn't play The Ship, surely thats one of the best on the album, until I went home for a relisten only to realise that Malcome 'Genius' Jones is playing on about 5 different parts at once!)

OK here goes (I've medleyed 2 songs together so its kinda 26)

1 Year Of The Flood
2 City Of Lights
