isn't that horrid? It happened to me too, when I saw him. I requested a song, I was in the front row, and he actually walked over and stood in front of me to explain why he couldn't take requests, and I only remember bits of it, and can't remember if I replied at all. I think we go on overload or something...
I can tell you why he doesn't take requests, was at a gig couple of months ago myself and the keyboardist and I had planned on doing what we did the week before in London because it's what we know and have practised. Then all these people started demanding we play this other stuff that we had not had a chance to practise.
Mike Heffernan has only been around for 20 years in the band and unlike the other guys in the band, he likely doesn't know all the music yet on a professional level and it wouldn't be fair to expect him to play something he doesn't know.
Nothing is worse than trying to play something you haven't had a chance to rehearse. I did ask if they could play Keeping on Yearning. GL said no.
