Default The London shows on reflection

Now we have had some time to digest the two London shows what does everyone think?

As a big fan I always come away wishing they had played something from 'These Days' or a favourite song of mine etc, I know with such a selection of material that this is always going to happen.

Why only 21 songs on night 1? only a 2 song encore? They did play 'Dry County' but compared to the Manchester set I thought that was a bit lame to be honest.

I think maybe they were saving something for night 2. What with having 25 songs and hearing 'I Believe' which was amazing. But I still feel it was missing that extra something. I thought as has happened before that the last show of the Europe tour would be more special than say Manchester for example. I don't even remember Jon making any real comments about being the last show. When I look back at 'Hyde Park 2003' or 'Munich 2001' or Helsinki 1996' those seem to be more special etc.

I did enjoy the show, don't get me wrong. I think that as they have played so many rare tracks at different venues, maybe I was just expecting too much. I would have prefered to have heard 'Blood On Blood' & 'These Days' instead of 'Rockin' All Over The World' & 'Twist & Shout'

I think that I have also had enough of 'Cpt Crash' & 'Born To Be My Baby'

What do you think?
