Great night in Belfast, crowd was a bit subdued for Dave Pearce and there was a lot of sitting down until Always On My Mind and then everyone lost their shit and got into the swing of things!
Paninaro did not have any regional embellishments, that was just a gift to Manchester!
I've never seen them stay on so long at the end after BB on this tour, they seemed to enjoy basking in the adoration!
Fans got a little wave from Neil in the car at the end, but the driver didn't hang around, don't blame him ;)
Met some lovely folks as always, onwards to the ROH!

This sentimentality from them is really starting to worry me!

I'm sure it's just because they wont do a big tour like this again, maybe just smaller residencies and studio work. I hope that's it and nothing more!

Scaling back on the size and scope of the live experience (I wonder what Naked will be like?) and scaling up studio time would be my preferred PSB future. Depending on the number of songs in their demo library, I'd like to see them build out some of those and treat us to a sprinkling of short form releases once the Dreamworld tour ends.
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams...

Agreed! Incidentally, has anyone mentioned yet* that the show essentially begins with fan favourite Wedding In Berlin? The opening rising notes of the Wedding March lead to the first chord of Dreamland, before the Suburbia drums kick in.

*probably, so please ignore me 😄
I have re-watched the close up video of Paninaro and you need to watch Chris just after Armani (about 1.40). What a gem!

Where were you sitting?! It's just I was in the front row, and everybody in the front few rows seemed to be up from it for the start. I checked again and Always on my mind was 18 songs into the gig, so it definitely didn't take that long for us folks at the front to get going! I did notice people sitting down in the stands of the arena more so until well into the gig. I don't doubt that it was different elsewhere in the arena though. However, having just heard Chris on Tracks Of My Years on Radio 2, maybe we shouldn't have been standing at all! If I picked him up correctly, he seemed to suggest it was bad form to be standing all the time at a seated gig, and people should only stand for the encore....
