setlist fm has the set listed as being the same as last night, for whatever that's worth.

I wonder if they'll release the rumored expanded Whole Story anthology now. Quite curious what the tracklisting would be.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 28 August 2014 01:35 (nine years ago) link
not interested, but they might do some digital compilation now.
really hoping there's going to be a dvd of this, if not a livecast toward the end of the run. They did it for fucking monty python's turgid retirement, why not this?

This is the free newspaper that litters every morning bus and train in London and other metropolitan cities in the UK... The headline is entirely unsupported by the text. What a hopeless rag.

Mint Royale had a hit single with Lauren Laverne a few years back (nice, NickB). It was a joke tweet ("Watchdog" being the consumer affairs TV show on BBC1). It's now a half-page splash in a national (free) newspaper about "angry fans demanding a refund".
Me, I'm just consoling myself that I'm not missing anything off The Dreaming.

Arthouse opportunity missed by not having Gabriel/Bush do a "Lady in Red" cover duet.

Funnily enough, the last time I went to the Hammersmith Apollo, Peter Gabriel DID turn up and do a guest spot. It was with The Magnetic Fields in...2002?

Oh wait, that was the Lyric Theatre.
Still, same postcode. PG probably has a little bungalow round there.

Haha! Well - it's got strong ECM ties (Vasconcelos, Cinelu) and given KB has/had an affinity for ECM it's no surprise. If Eberhard Weber was able to play and be part of this crew...damnnnn.

David Rhodes is an interesting guy – was in a hugely underrated new wave band called Random Hold before becoming PG's guitarist

I enjoyed that Bill Hawkes' letter - it was refreshing in the face of what we've heard over the past month. I like KB well enough but "obsequious, unquestioning critical acclaim heaped upon this manifestly overrated singer" is pretty otm and I do rate her. She's good, but ffs she ain't that good!

The latter is just 'classical musician doesn't really rate pop musician pt-10000000000000000' rather than 'speaking truth to power' but I'm pretty sure there are some really annoying fans at those gigs.

I have to admit I didn't check anywhere else but here, but are there still no reviews from the later shows?

Most publications will only review the first night of any performance or series of gigs.
