Default O2 Verdict so far.....

Best Night: 2

Worse Night: 1*

*in terms of what was on the setlist

That's still my vote, eventhough we've had some amazing rarities in the upcoming shows

Aloha !

My verdict so far is that they're not mixing it up as much as they actually can, and once again Jon's not keeping up his promise regarding the "there'll be full album nights, there'll be more acoustic orientated nights" etc. They could've done so much more and even though the shows are very good, once again they could've been a lot better with a lot more variety. And most of all, I'm very glad I haven't spend that much money on a ticket for a show.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Best Night : Last Night
Worst Night : Night 1

Night 1 was because of the setlist. it was probably a good show but obviously, as it was the first show, it was a lot of hits.

I've been suprised by the setlists, though. I didn't think for one minute that Something To Believe In would be played.
Or Let It Rock!!

Sure, some of the songs they've played have been a bit poor and could of been a lot better if it was something they haven't played for a while, but at least they're changing it.

Gutted I haven't gone to any. Looking forward to the next few shows

Looking at the set lists and the fact i was there i'd say night 2 was the best so far even though last nights setlist was amazing and very mixed up! I just hope 23rd June is just as good!

Night 1 was a damn good show and I got to hear a lot of the songs from The Circle. I'd have been gutted not to hear LTOR in one of my 2 shows.

Maybe it was the worst set-list wise, but the performance was amazing. There was a girl next to me at her very first show and all she could say at the end in a stunned voice "oh my god...that...was...awesome."

Then night 2 was probably the perfect set and they blew me away. Best show I've ever seen. While I'm jealous at some of the rarities later on, I wouldn't swap this show with any other.

Wouldn't the show without David be the worst? That seemed to get the most mixed reviews.

Altogether, the O2 shows are a perfect run. Sure, they haven't done full album nights or acoustic nights but that would only please the people who can go to a lot of the shows.

I just wish they'd do a live box set of all 12 nights. Unedited!!!!
