    Great show last night.

    However, the Olympia was way to small to accomodate that production.

    Why do you say that?
    I'm going tonight, and looking forward to it...

    Watch out for people talking. My friend said she couldn't handle the amount of assholes talking during the gig.

    *Way* too small - if you haven't seen them before, then you'll be missing half a light show & some interesting theatrics ;-)

    People talking - very noticeable in this venue compared to the O2

    We were in the first circle - really not a great view; like looking through a letter box. If you're in the stalls you'll probably be ok.

    The normally incredible sound didn't seem the same from our seats....could be the venue...or see next point...

    Lineup changes - see

    This was the 7th time I've seen them and by far the worst. At the O2 with the original band they were amazing. Have to get tickets now for Brit Floyd there in May & compare....

    I hadn't seen them before and I really enjoyed it. Fierce full of ignorant pricks though, I was in the Circle, and there were lads kept standing up and generally pissing people off.

    Does anyone have the setlist?

    Was at the early show Fri night. Great gig as usual. But dont think it was as good as any of the previous times I have seen them. No mirrorball for Comfortably numb took away slightly from the greatness of the song live. No inflatables either. I think Damien Darlington was a big loss.
    Agree about díckheads talking. I was in the front row and I felt like smacking the lad beside me who was roaring to the guy beside him throughout the gig. Also I preferred standing in the Olympia years ago.
