I'd pay good money not to see that.

i didn't have a chance last night as I had just arrived here in London for Friday's show. I'll try and do it in the next couple of hours.

Did anyone meet Neil or Chris at the stage door after the performance?

Wednesday was my first of the 3 Obscure shows in a row.
It was awesome ! I think this stripped down set up suits them well. Neil was relaxed and funny and Chris was having a ball, dancing and showing some cool moves. It's a really intimate venue, I felt like being part of their family. Yesterday's setlist was more balanced than the previous 2 shows, between bangers and ballads. Johnny Marr was a special treat, a real highlight. Being on the floor is a must as you experience all the energy of this special run of shows. Very few phones in the air, which is a relief !
Going back tonight and tomorrow, can't wait to discover the new songs they'll play !

We didn't come to hear that. And don't moan if you get moved a little bit as people are getting past for drinks or the bathroom. You might not have noticed, but space is a little limited.

I quietly told someone like this last night that "I can tell you really like the sound of your own voice, but we're here to listen to them, not you" as I pointed to the stage. That shut him up, and I got approving thumbs up from nearby people.

Good on you for calmly saying your piece. It’s much more tricky these days to ask strangers to reconsider their behaviours for the good of others around them, there seems to be an automatic knee-jerk defiance from antisocial peeps nowadays and a tendency to try and cast you as the one who’s being an a-hole for daring to call them out about anything. Glad this person at least listened to your point and acted reasonably on it.

Or Chaka...

Didn't anybody else think the ending was a little unfortunate? I had tears in my eyes after The way it used to be and Later Tonight, but felt this very perfect ending was a little bit ruined by the quite mediocre new song. Would have much more appreciated if the new track had been placed after My Funny Uncle.

Apart from that, a brilliant evening. (Talking of Tuesday, by the way. Am a little late...)

Was the same for me (Mon & Tue), but I thought they maybe had a similar thinking and probably putting this "new" song at the end on purpose.

(if I would be an artist, I always would farewell the audience with a Song 2 at the end)

Ok standing by for setlist….

...already on the button for this...

Yes, that new song is like a 90s cast-off, not b-side worthy.

I’m not there so I’m having a night off posting the setlist!

okay Pod, let's see, if there comes help from anywhere else...
