just got back, it was great! they were note perfect the whole time and bantering with the crowd, and the good mix of old and new kept it from being an awkward nostalgia act show. shame about the turnout though, i bet the arena was only 3/4 full at most. ITSISK and Come Undone were the highlights.
the setlist:
Before The Rain
Planet Earth
A View To A Kill
All You Need Is Now
Blame The Machines
Come Undone
Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment)
The Reflex
The Man Who Stole A Leopard
Girl Panic!
Is There Something I Should Know?
Tiger Tiger
White Lines (Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel cover)
Careless Memories
Ordinary World
Notorious
Hungry Like The Wolf
Reach Out For The Sunrise
The Wild Boys / Relax (Frankie Goes to Hollywood cover)
Rio
and to answer your question drew, they do play the chauffeur (and have done already on this tour), but it's only on rotation and isn't a setlist staple, from what i've seen.
yeah, SAP or Girls on Film would have been nice, but aside from that i can't complain. they could do a greatest hits show and still inevitably leave out some huge and popular tunes, so it's all fair enough.
13th of June - Lenny Kravitz 7th of July - Pearl Jam
27th of July - Bruce Springsteen (nosebleeds)
28th of July - Bruce Springsteen (GA, looks to be the last night of his Euro tour )
I'm kinda excited for the 21 days period between the 7th and 28th of July. Kinda.
Isle Of Wright Festival (Pearl Jam,Bruce,Noel Gallagher) - 06.22,23,24.12

Couldn't snag the ones I could afford this morning Brian, congratulations. I got to see 'em with DLR in 08, I believe, and they were stellar. Truly amazing performance.
