Just for a bit of fun, what celebrities have been spotted at ROH, or other Dreamworld gigs?

I saw (and met) Stuart Price and have heard of David Walliams, Noel Gallagher and Tracey Thorn being at Koko.

The lady beside me last night is frantically trying to find a return as she had such a great time.

I was in the amphitheatre and there was plenty of chair dancing but no widespread standing until It's A Sin (all rise for the National Anthem!)
Looks like plenty of space in the mosh pit, I'll confirm after tonight.
Helloooooooo, she’s back, back, BACK in the US of A! I had a post all ready to go on Tuesday night about how brilliant the first show was but managed to fall asleep before hitting submit and between tech woes and travel I ended up losing the whole thing and this is the first chance I have had to try again. :grumble:

ANYWHO, as I was trying to say, what a bloody awesome show that was, and what a wonderful venue! The sound started off a little weird but then someone pushed the right button and it sprang into glorious life and never let up from there. I was up on the top tier so it was difficult to see the audience but I could certainly hear them. The high vantage point was nice because I could see things that I had missed on my previous two shows and only noticed in the movie. PSB could probably do Dreamworld in their sleep now but it still felt fresh and Neil’s banter was on top form (“This lot down the front have probably seen this about fifty times!” during his opening monologue).

It was pretty much a flawless romp through the classics and three newbies that clocked in at two hours. The dancers came out for Dreamland, It’s Alright, Heart and Vocal. There was mostly chair dancing on our side too (which suited me fine as I had been walking around London all day) until Paninaro, when the lasses behind us, who were a wee bit snockered, tried to get up and boogie and almost started a cascade. We were all up for Go West, and of course the aforementioned National Anthem. You know you follow a heritage act when everyone tries to stand for the signature hit and there’s a chorus of “ACK! KNEES!” :lol:

So yeah, well worth extending my trip for, and thank you very much to Kenif for saving me his spare ticket! I was a bit bummed about the ROH tour fans selling out so quickly but was able to pick one up through the online store so it’s on its way.

And it was awesome to meet the delightful Vintage Youth as well! We decided to grab food before the show but couldn’t decide if it should be Pizza express or Zizzi’s, so we walked into Zizzi’s as it was closer and there was a mosaic on the threshold that read “This Must Be The Place” so we decided that this must be a SIGN and sat down, only to discover that the cocktail menu offered an Amalfi Sundown as well. How did we get here??
I can't love this post enough! Glad you had an amazing time and it was great to meet and hang out with you.

Dark red hair with a grey cap with PSB badges. Why, did you see me coming?? :D
Was I that obvious?
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

Chris got Being Boring wrong
And Neil told the crowd not to buy Blackpool tickets from viagogo 😄
Has the Paninaro background video been changed or has the yellow jacket always been there

Yep there's a 250 quid one showing now but it's not there when I go to the seat map.

Not gonna lie, I've got a bit sad to watch the nights disappearing and will miss obsessively checking the site multiple times a day 🤣

I was wondering if some things had changed too or if it was just me not being able to see all the stage at previous shows.

Has Opportunities always had N&C’s faces embedded in the green wavy lines? (Neil for brains and Chris for brawn/looks?

Paninaro: yes, the yellow jacket was there since it became part of the setlist
Opportunities: yes, the "wave faces" where always there ;)

On wednesday night i saw Alan Yentob singing and clapping in a Box left from the stage.

Some Songs sounded different from earlier gigs, like Sngle with It's a capella bit and i heard more little (counter) melodies played by Chris. Maybe that was down to the better acoustics in the ROH.

Neil did a bit of a Biden wrt the chart position of Being Boring: he said it got to no 19 (it was 20).

Sun’s out in London Town and I can’t wait for the show tonight … I was at the ROH for the Super tour and i recall it being such a stunning venue.

Not seen much commentary on the new tour programme… might pick it up if they are still on sale
