Anyone know what tickets or how people got onto the two speaker stands in ten club section. Looked like they even had a bar. Surely they had an amazing view of stage and crowd. Just curious what type of tickets they were or probably just reserved for bands friends and family?

Saw some people walking up to them with red lanyards think they said artist guests

Night 2 we took easier and arrived at Hyde Park just as Stereophonics were coming on stage.  We managed to reach about 6 back from front on the aisle Stones side again.  The area was definitely busier than the previous day and there were definitely more Brits on the piss in the area too.

Setlist was a cracker but the night wasn't as enjoyable overall due to the crappy behaviour of people who weren't actual PJ fans - just had the right tickets to get them in.

Highlight for me was a massively animated Stone - constantly coming up front and doing his penguin march with a big grin on his face.  Mike was loving every minute too - the look of sheer joy on his face at the end of Baba was fantastic.

Ed was interacting with everyone - including the stewards and paramedics (one of them got a tambo).  Stewards were great at keeping water flowing to the crowd too.

Hopefully when the next tour is announced (please!) there will be some arena/stadium shows for a full on PJ experience.

I really don't like it when Faithfull is misspelled.

2nd night, loved seeing Petrol Girls on the little stage, then went and enjoyed most of Johnny Mart’s set, before suffering through the boredom of Stereophonics for a half decent spot for PJ.

The crowd was definitely busier night 2, but the people around me seemed decent and had a nice chat before the band kicked off with a classic, Corduroy.  I really enjoyed Small Town, but was ecstatic when Garden started and hearing it for the first time live!  DotC and Not for You we’re great in particular, as well as Faithfull and River Cross; Black is always enjoyable!

Loved both nights, and to hear 42 tracks over the two nights; would have loved one from No Code across the days, but they can’t play them all.  Couldn’t pick a favourite night, though the Friday was a more enjoyable day all in all thanks to Pixies.

Definitely won’t leave it 10 years next time!

How long before the boots become available? I cannot wait for them to relive the experience.

A very emotional listen for me.  I was worried that *my* band, the one I am more emotionally invested in than anything that isn't family, would be a let down, what with the stories of shorter sets and the reasons for that, plus I'd just seen Billie Eilish and Twenty One Pilots who were both put on excellent shows from humans at the peak of their physical powers, and still at the top of the Sean Connery Trainspotting downward curve.

Listening back confirmed that the shorter sets meant they were more focused less meandering and, having two nights to play with, could spread the set-list out.  On paper night 2 has more of the hits, but on multiple listens, night 1 has that special something that Eddie commented on and it just edges it for me.
