Highlights:

- As Seb has said, this tour is finally a "world tour" again. First to really deserve that title since 1995. 'twas about time.
- They actually played a major show without "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Lol
- The return of the impossible, even if some of it was shortlasting: Roulette, Shot Through The Heart, Only Lonely, Let it Rock, Homebound Train, I Believe, Something For The Pain, Letting You Go...
- The "anything can happen" feeling during the PBPs from the O2. Plus, "Always" & "Dry County" returning ain't a shocker anymore. Now bring on "Hey God" again!
- The pyros returned... if only for 3 shows.

Bonus: The stage. From youtube videos, it looks really cool!

Lowlights:
- The high amount of LH songs compared to loss of Circle songs since the O2. They always were proud of their new album and that's what always made me proud of them. I hate bands that play 2 songs off of their new album, and then just the old hits - it's like saying "I know, it sucks" (and in this case, it doesn't!!!). While BJ still play lots from their recent albums, playing just 2 Circle songs at some shows is ridiculous. Even more so because Jon loves the record!
- The unfairness of playing gems in certain places, and in others not.
- Richie skipping "Homebound Train" in favour of LYHOM
- Copy & paste setlists
- I would put "ticket prices", but it really doesn't affect me. My tickets for Munich and Vienna cost almost the same as in 2006 and 2008.
