The problem with these Live by Request shows is that while the calls appear to be random, they are actually not. Every single band that I have seen appear on these shows "mysteriously" only received requests for the songs that were already being performed on their current tour. Therefore, they only chose to broadcast the calls that request specific songs. Kind of makes sense, I cannot see Sting taking requests for songs that he hasn't played in 20 years, and that his band has never played at all. That would sure make him look like a right old chump on National Television. J
