I'm happy with thatJust dissipointed my prediction of at least 1 song from Showbiz was wrong
Well at least I didn't go to the first night at Wembley! I'd have been so p*ssed off with that setlist.
And as you guys have already said, the band hardly said anything, just "Hello, we haven't been here in 4 years" and "Goodbye" what's up with that? The people we spoke to didn't seem to mind, but personally I felt like they didn't seem to care enough?

There has been some critics from the foreign (=non UK forums) since Matt said "You are the REAL fans, thank you for being here" on the second night... As you know, there are people who travel to other countries and cities, queue for hours/days and stand unbereable things (rain, heat, hunger, etc) just to see them live, and none of them get something even similar to that statement. I think he should apologize or put his words in context somehow - people are angry.

i think its just showmanship, he always says stuff like that on the second night of gigs, "you guys are way better than last night" and other things. I don't think they particularly enjoyed the first night as much, the crowd seemed abit less into it apparently, and i guess that was reflected in the setlist

More like the opposite I'd say. The setlist is built a few hours before the show - crowd doesn't have to do with it at all.

yeah i meant the performance and reaction of the band to the crowd, the friday night went on sale after the saturday night so maybe the band new the older stuff would go down better on the saturday
