I was a little perturbed by how many people I saw leaving when they played I Dream of a Better Tomorrow.
Call yourself a fan but don't stick around for a brand new unheard song?!
I got a feeling not everyone was there for the right reasons.

It was one of the best PSB crowds I've seen in 11 gigs and 24 years - no beef, no one talking, people dancing but respecting those around them (admittedly there wasn't room to do anything else!), no huge crowds leaving to go to the bar whenever they played a ballad, respectfully quiet in the right places but cheering at the end, a bit of singing along by people who clearly loved the songs - just a really good vibe. I did see a couple of people leave but I figured they had trains to catch - you never know what people's circumstances are. (But yes, I thought it was odd too!)
And “Through you” and “It couldn’t happen here” - both favourites. Am trying to remember which songs those replaced. I think it was “Do I have to?” and “New boy”

*Neil passed the lyrics on track 2 twice and they've started Theatre again.
This could be a hint that they plan to release some of the show in some form. Normally they just move on without retakes.
Not necessarily. I saw them in Gateshead at the Sage on the Electric tour and Neil started coughing at the beginning of Miracles and stopped the show and restarted it. Similar thing happened in Dublin on the Super tour when everything went out of time at the beginning of Domino Dancing and they started it again.
But yes, they could be recording every night and maybe they'll bring out an album made up of different takes from the different nights. Not having Sylvia on a recording from tonight would probably mean them not having to pay extra performance royalties.
