I could see why people not as into the band would dislike the setlist, the acoustic bit was pretty long and containing some rare/unknown songs. The people around me were well into it.

The screens are smaller than I imagined, and the stage is quite low down to accomodate the rear seating. I also thought the sound was a little low near the back of the arena.
But that's the thing, I knew all the songs but they just didn't work. Why pump out so many box set songs in one night? God knows how the newer fans felt.

I was around the middle, I was really underwhelmed with the sound. I want to leave a rock concert with ringing ears.... I think being in the pit might have made it different, but from a the stands and further a field it just wasn't working. A good 10% of the crowd left before the encore.

The one thing I was impressed with was the crowd interaction, mind included. I was walking around London yesterday sounding like a cross between Madge Bishop and a slowly deflating balloon
