Sadly, doesn’t look like it. If anything, last night would have been the one to film with the appearance of Johnny Marr. There’s no room for any camera crews in there! The most we can hope for is a live album

Well that was special!

Having really enjoyed seeing them on Monday night … I found yesterday to be even more incredible.

After overcoming a somewhat panicky situation related to my ticket at the entrance I managed to secure a decent spot at the right of the stage (Chris’s side). I was probably about 10 people back without too many tall heads in the way. I had a good view all evening and even more so in the last hour as some people drifted away.

Neil and Chris were on excellent form and you can see they are really enjoying these gigs. Neil was more relaxed and confident than on Monday and Chris especially was more animated than I’ve ever seen!

What a set list! I had a hunch we’d see a guest at some point and so glad it was Johnny F-ing Marr doing the honours tonight. All three tracks with him were absolutely outstanding…couldn’t have wished for more (well I could but that’s me being greedy). So many highlights but Always, 2/0, King of Rome and Later tonight really stood out. I loved hearing ICHH as well - they didn’t play that on Monday so it was another bonus for me.

If this turns out to be the last gig I see I will be happy to end on this high … it was a very moving experience and so great to share it with real fans.

A massive thank you to Neil and Chris for these 40 years of incredible music

Hope those going tonight and tomorrow have an amazing time

It’s among my all-time favorites! I keep watching the performance on YouTube and can’t quite believe it actually happened!! Goosebumps!!

Same here. There's a YouTube video with all three songs with Johnny Marr.

Chris serving some cool moves. This could be a phone screensaver

Ok, I'll stop flooding the feed with Instagram posts!

Up against it with ohnny moving nearer Neil reminds me of David Bowie and Mick Ronson and then Freddie and Brian. Neil staying cool in the moment!-

There’s really only one guest that would blow my mind…

“Ladies and gentlemen on keyboards tonight: Mr Bobby Orlando”

I think they'll go all out tomorrow evening. Some predictions:

"We've got someone very special for our final night.... Please put your hands together for Mr.....Andy......BELL!" [Drummer plays dramatic opening timpani of Legacy]

"Here he is - Bono!" [Intro piano chords of The dumpling song fail to drown out the audible bemusement]

"To duet with me tonight..., please welcome to the stage, Pato Banton." [Chris launches into the opening cello figures of Cricket wife']

"To provide a peculiar semi-choreographed, semi-improvised dance, Lee Childs!" [Pete Gleadall presses the spacebar and the church bells of Wedding in Berlin commence]


You saw it here first.

Chaka Demus and pliers are gonna rap with Neil on one thing leads to another and metamorphosis.

If it ain't E-Smoove, it ain't nobody.

"Talkin' 'bout liberation!"
