They made an announcement before the gig that the last train going towards east london was something like 12:25am and the last train going towards central london was like 12:45am. Definitely take Bounce7800's advice on walking past the queue for the station towards the car parks. It's exactly what I did

You're absolutely correct. The Band was on Fire last night, and Jon's voice was Awesome, by far better than when they opened the Arena in 2007. You need to understand, my criticism comes after seeing the Band for the 5th time. To me, it just seemed that they were on auto-pilot and playing it safe for night 1. There's no doubt that they'll mix things up eventually. I think this show was mainly for the casual fans and the media (who have so far given good reviews).

Yes and No. But to be honest, after sleeping on it, I can understand. With a residency, it was always gonna be a risk of what we are to expect on the day(s) you attend. To this day, I don't regret going on the opening night, as we did get an energetic show. And like I mentioned before in another Thread, WWWB sounded Awesome Live compared to a few of the bootlegs I have from the First Leg of the Tour

I was somewhat surprised, but let's not forget we heard it when they played on the roof, so I guess we shouldn't be too disappointed there. Personally, it's not one of my favourite songs from the album anyway.

I'd say the Merchandise is average. Never paid too much attention, but I remember seeing a pink hoodie and some Trading Cards. I was expecting a bootleg CD of Instrumental/Acapellas
