    All Along Watchtower, Soldier of Love & Brother were my highlights with Real Me & The End excellent too. Brilliant venue, great view, great atmosphere. A little disappointed in the setlist as seemed to be a mixture of Reading & Wembley 07 - but that is being highly critical.

    4 Shows & still no Black - I will be obsessed if they do not play it o2
    Now it all comes down to numbers, now I'm glad that I have quit
    Folks these days just don't do nothing simple for the love of it

    Just got back myself - didn't have any luck with the lottery or public sale so paid through the nose for a ticket.

    Worth every penny. Was seated on the second tier at the front. Normally I'm standing downstairs but it was a refreshing change. Could see the band very clearly and since the venue is so small I wasn't all that far away.

    Enjoyed the set, a few missing (no Daughter?!) but a good mix, and let''s face it they've got a pretty huge back catalogue of records that they can play.

    Almost a 2 and a 1/2 hour set.

    Let's see what the O2 has to offer for the return visit...

    Ronnie Wood playing Watchtower, Brother, The End, a fantastic version of Yellow Ledbetter but the most important news is The Fixer kicks ass live!!! FACT!!!

    What a fucking show! Great set list, great crowd, definitely one of the best shows I've seen, it was right up there with The Vic and The Astoria for me (apart from the idiot who kept calling me a c**t for taking photos - you know who you are, prick!)

    The only downside (and it's only a tiny grumble) is that it was quite short. They came on at 8.45 and were done before 11 - it was only just over 2 hours long...

    Reckon we are likely to get a boot of this as not alot of new stuff was played?
  • UKDaveUKDave Posts: 5,557
    How good was that???!!! Just got back completely knackered but that for me surpassed Astoria...

    The band were on fire tonight and that was a great set list... lots of highlights... Brother, The Real Me, Sometimes followed by Interstellar / Corduroy was a superb opening and Soldier Of Love plus the crowd generally awesome ;)

    Sorry that's not fact. Only opinion. Save You and Got Some kicks ass live.........The Fixer merely pinches ass. Maybe grabs it a little.

    Loved it!

    Setlist-wise, it may not have had the charm of rareities like The Vic did, but overall the setlist was pretty good. I'm ashamed to say at the start I kept waiting/hoping/praying that the next song would be something special, but soon got into the swing of things and enjoyed it for what it was. All Along The Watchtower and Soldier of Love were big surprises!!! Highlights for me were Brother, State of Love & Trust and Soldier of Love. Saw 7 songs I haven't seen live before, although 3 of those were new songs and 3 were covers. Still, not bad going :D

    The atmosphere was probably the best of any show I've been to. REALLY loud singalongs, and everyone getting into it.

    Really surprised how great The Fixer is live! Got Some and The End weren't half bad either.

    I managed to 'sneak' into level 1 during Yellow Ledbetter (I wanted to make a quick getaway after the gig). Think I walked past Jonah Hill from Superbad in there, but it was a bit dark to be sure.

    Nice show, the band were meant to come on at 8:30pm, but seemed to drag on till 8:45pm, ed was rather chatty.

    People will kill me for saying this but i do feel a bit let down, i was hoping for some real nice rare songs but still seemed mainstreamy, roll on The Ahoy! Maybe seem rare to some people but heard all these songs many a time :P

    Nothing from binaural yet on this tour :(

    Even flow wasn't original studio but it did feel slower.

    There were 2 mics both sides of the each poking out into the crowd, then again this could be them just recording every show that they do. I know Sandra and Randell taped it, think someone else too.

    I agree to a certain extent. The set had a lot of slightly uncommon songs (Dissident, Present Tense, Down), but no real rarities. The atmosphere more than made up for it though, and Soldier of Love is pretty rare these days so not a complete let down in the song choices.

    I thought The Fixer was better than Got Some tonight. I think Got Some will be played better than it was tonight, and the "Yeah, yeah, yeeeeeaaaahhhs" in The Fixer make a better singalong!

    Well I have been to 30 shows or so and have never seen a Soldier of Love or The Real Me. Not saying 30 is alot but enough to think a song is, at least, somewhat rare.

    Yes but this is a very intimate show and its special etc, just look at what they are played at the vic. They played these so called 'rare' songs at the astoria and wembley 07...Suprised the guests wern't that great, where the hell was Pete, the man vedder thinks is god? not bloody simon, ronnie was cool though.

    Pearl Jam have the ability to make you hear songs you havent heard for 50+ shows in a row but they dont seem to do it too often!
  • tremorstremors Posts: 8,051
    To be honest, that was the high point of my life so far. Every song chosen hit me bang in the chestlike a pneumatic drill from my past. So many memories; incessant meaning and significaance from a 20 year period. The fidelity of the sound, the images, the communion. That was closure. It was beyong catharsis, my body at times was just jelly. Shame already I've been let down in real life after the gig. At least you know where you stand with Ed. Trust.

    I'm glad we'll revisit the conversation in seattle.

    Couldn't have asked for morel; like someone trawling through my most important memories

    I got a few videos from the gig tonight, I figured Got Some would be the one people would want to see (All Along The Watchtower with Ronnie Wood is too big a file for youtube :cry: ) I hope it's ok to post it?
    It's bit jumpy because I was down at the front but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

    its only the 2nd show of the tour... its fact that it always takes them a few shows to really get going...

    i think brother soldier of love real me the new stuff present tense... all kind of rare ... pretty good for 2nd show of tour... i wasnt there... but it seems like a solid 2nd show type of set from my perspective..

    glad you guys all had a good time, seems like a cool show...

    Being one of 'those' shows, ie intimate but 'promotional', I wasn't expecting a setlist full of rarities so no disappointment whatsoever for me! Incredible gig, great energy from the band and the crowd. I'm still buzzing :D
  • philthehipphilthehip Posts: 2,084
    What a show. Just got back to Liverpool and now home at 5.45 :(

    The set list for me was excellent. Interstella Overdrive was fucking amazing :D

    Thanks to all the who shared an amazing night with me. They know who they are
