Just back from a great show

they played songs they've never played "live" before

WHY DON'T WE LIVE TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
preceded by Two Divided VB Zero

during WDWLT the dancers were dressed as NYC skyscrapers (Chrysler Building, Empire State, Citigroup) and Chris Lowe was dancing with them!!

King's Cross
Heart
Suburbia
It's A Sin
Being Boring
Jealousy

Did You See Me Coming
Love, etc.
All Over the World (gorgeous)

Great stage show, with all the cubes

They played for 1 1/2 hours +

and no fucking guitars[:D]

Did you yell "Skyscraper, I love you"??

Good stuff. With all their material and hype, I would think 1.5hrs is the absolute minimum they should play. Well worth every (EVERY) dollar??

This tour is glory and magnificence of the highest order. The Boys were in TOP form that night. And after the show, I've never seen them so friendly or in such high spirits. Best tour since Nightlife. It was great to hear Being Boring unadulterated. I wasn't crazy about the deconstructed version done during Nightlife. The lab / construction workers in the white lab coats revising the sets in between songs with the medleys of old and new PSB...completely, totally genius. I do hope there's a DVD of this in store for us.

Pretty decent gig.

Neil was in fine voice and Chris was excellent...loved the dance from him!

Acoustics were terrible a lot of the time though. To an extent that I had trouble recognising songs that I have heard hundreds of times. I think this was more to do with the venue being 100 years old and maybe not built for loud pop concerts...

Thoroughly enjoyed it regardless though.

Great crowd too. Very energetic. Although a demographic that I was a wee bit unused to shall we say. [:D]
