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?

As I've said in my other post, I think it was all down to expectations. However, everyone's saying Manchester was such a great set - but the only thing it had different was Diamond Ring and Last Cigarette (LC not great in my opinion, and DR though cool, isn't exactly This Ain't A Love Song)
I still think the Twicks shows were solid sets, especially the 2nd night. If they'd finished on anything other than Twist & Shout no one would be complaining.
