    So it is mixed feelings for this gig. 

    The negative 
    For me it wasn’t the set list I wanted. Still after 18 shows no mfc can’t believe it’s scratched 🤣.

    Ed obviously struggled in the mid section of the set and the set list was around his voice. 

    The positives were that the venue was really very good acoustically. Very special. 

    Mike was on absolute fire. I think the best I’ve seen him. 

    My eldest got to see his perfect set list and he got his and my favourite all time song added, black. Which was a very special version. Ed Definitely got emotional in the we belong together end. 

    So if I had gone on my own maybe slightly underwhelming, but having seen the pure joy on my sons face this will hold a very special place for me. 

    Thanks as always for the memories PJ. ❤️
    What a great silver lining for your eldest to get ‘Black’ 🙏🏻

    Can you confirm if they played ‘Upper Hand’ or not? 
    No unfortunately not. Really wanted that running and setting sun. Hence the slightly Downer. 
    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 to comment on Ed’s voice. Did not notice any issues first 5 songs. 

    Was ok during the new stuff other than DM which was a bit of struggle. 

    Had a lot of missing chorus in the middle hits and was struggling. 

    Thought he came out really strong on encore.. No issues on black alive dte. 

    I saw him at the London show in 2018 before he cancelled the next. He was far far worse at end of 2018. No comparison for me. 

    Obviously could get worse but I think he should be ok for London.

    Yeah that is a bit of a downer… I was at the London O2 2018 show where Ed struggled through & had to cancel the following night. 
    It does disturb the evening slightly, because you’re anticipating whether each song will go all the way, or what parts Ed might miss. 
    But I guess that also reminds us how lucky we are to still be able to see such an amazing band play.

    Yeah he was pretty rough at the O2 in 2018. Really felt for him, because he was clearly in pain but wouldn’t give up. 
    Everything crossed that the 3 days off will give him a chance to recover 🙏🏻🤞🏻
    (Although the cynic in me says they might prefer to cancel such a poorly selling show 😬)

    I went to the O2 gig in 2018 and I didn't really notice his voice until he mentioned it. But this time, I could tell during Why Go, before he mentioned it. This felt worse than 2018 but he got through it. Hope the lengthy rest between shows helps him.

    Waiting for Waiting for Stevie to be played is the new Ed & Watt waiting for stevie & ending up writing Waiting for Stevie 🤪

    So at the concert I was at today, which was without question great, Eddie was already out of breath during All Night. The fact that he had no problems with Black & Alive was due to the fact that he let the audience sing all the difficult parts. As he did with Even Flow and other songs.

    In the first 30-45 minutes, he informed the audience that he had caught a cold. And asked the audience if the person who gave him the cold in Dublin was present. He himself had blamed it on the fact that he had gone into the crowd.

    A short time later, he tried to explain how awful it felt in his throat. And briefly philosophized about how to proceed. And even mentioned the word „skip“ as a (hypothetical) possibility in this context.

    I hope he recovers quickly. Ideally, he should see the same doctor who got him fit for Amsterdam 2022. And I hope everyone has a great concert in London.

    Wasn't he out of breath very early in Dublin also and that's why they added Eruption but, he said it was jet lag? Now it sounds like it's worse🤔 Whatever it is I feel bad for the guy when he and the band hit European soil something unexpected is always happening and it's usually health related. Get better EV🙏

    Interesting that they are continuing to pound react, scared and wreckage when Stevie, Got to Give and Won't Tell are far superior songs and sound way better live

    The tour is ready for wreckage to get the sirens treatment and disappear. 

    Perhaps Ed's voice had something to do with set design. Hoping he's fine with some tea and the tour marches on unabated.

    Yep, for me those 3 need to be played regularly.

    Inside Job and I Got Shit were nice surprises!

    You could tell Ed was struggling but the crowd were great and helped him through it. I was also at London 1 in 2018 and I think he sounded worse that night tbh. If it's just a cold then hopefully he'll be right by the weekend for London.

    🤔...nope and who said they performed poorly? Ed struggled and powered thru like the man he is! Certainly no one who thought Dublin was a 🥱 also said they performed poorly! Bottom line some like Dublin and that's great and some don't and like Manchester and this is the place to state it! I don't believe I've read one person state their comment as fact, except for amont of x's a songs been played. If we can't state our opinions wtf are we on here for??🎸
