Interesting that they did the Mr Vain medley - this wasn’t actually with Sylvia it was that other lady but whatever super fun moment.

Technically this was the one “hit” they played - just not theirs 😂

There's a disappointing lack of "not been played live before" about that setlist. Plenty of those have been done in concerts before.

Apologies for the abrupt at the end. Someone pushed and almost dropped the phone.

Surely "no Chris"? :D He did great. Looked rather nervous but not a bum note in sight (or sound). It was a beautiful moment.

By the way, who are the rest of the band? Is that Claire on keyboards behind Chris? Who's the woman (?) on drums behind Neil?

Agree. Glad I scalped my tickets and didn’t fly across the Atlantic for this setlist, tho I’d definitely drive to NYC/Philly/DC for it! It’s good, but not intercontinental-good. :)

Needs “Delusions of grandeur”, “violence (Jonny Marr mix” and something from relentless.

I’ll watch it when they release the DVD. :)
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

Chris really looked like he was enjoying himself, particularly during Sexy Northerner. He had a bit of a dance off stage at the end of the encore too.

They said Sylvia was the guest just for Monday night (she sounded great), so my guess would be that the three songs she sang backing vocals on will be swapped out on other nights (possibly for songs with other guests). Her songs were 'Happiness Is An Option', 'The Theatre', and 'One In A Million / Mr Vain'. None of those would sound the same without her, so no point playing those on the other nights.

I'm so happy for those of you who were lucky enough to see him live. I'm so jealous! And if anyone recorded Hit and Miss and uploaded it to YouTube, it would make me so happy. I've always wanted to see him live

Lots of footage starting to show up on the Facebook groups now. I see Neil broke out the guitar for Sexy Northerner! (I knew that would happen somewhere.)

Crowd were dead? Sounds like some singing going on during these clips.

Sorry Mr. Male Drummer dude, I only saw the hair. He was definitely enjoying himself!

Neil does like his corrugated sweaters, doesn't he?? And love to see Chris grooving around behind the keyboards!

the best part was the change on the band introduction:
".. on keyboards Chris Lowe..I' m Neil Tennant...and..you know who we are.."
This is not my signature.
