Milton Keynes Sunday maybe this is why they were not happy

Everyone thought Milton Keynes Sunday was great and it was a fantastic show and I have seen them at Milton Keynes 4 times before (1989, 1993, 1996 and 2001) but you could tell they wanted a better reaction from the crowd (more like the reaction they had on Saturday) maybe they were filming for a live DVD and Jon could tell that apart from the inner Gold/Fan Club circle a lot of the people at the sides and back didn’t know the newer songs and just stood there, (but to be honest there were sound regulators at the back of the bowl making sure it wasn’t too loud for the local people living nearby so you couldn’t really hear it that well back there) Check out Jon changing the words in The Last Man Standing to "the magic wasn't here tonight" and the "thanks for coming" he said at the end of the gig instead of "you've been great, thanks for coming" I kid you not.

I guess if the rumours were true and they had hired a professional film crew to film that night instead of Saturday you would be a bit pissed off if the crowd weren't as crazy as the night before, add to this the fact that a couple of nights later they played Hull and it was a half empty stadium and being tired from so many shows in a week then you have a rational reason for them being a bit miffed!

Hull was just one gig too many and only went on sale a couple of months ago when most of the general public already had tickets for lots of the other shows.

Lets hope if they do only play one UK show next year its Wembley Stadium and not part of a tour but just a huge one off spectacular gig to open Wembley.

Everyone has bad days, maybe they will right a song about it one day!
