My first show definitely blew me away. The visuals really are stunning, and the set list left me very happy. There were songs I would have liked to have seen in the set list--Into the Wild, LoveLife, and Mancunian Way, chiefly--but at the end of it all I didn't feel like anything was missing. It was all very satisfying.
And yeah, for the most part while I was in the moment, I didn't miss Jason. The show was set up very well for the three of them. The one exception to that was Pray. When you have four, or five, of them, you get the opportunity for those lovely interactions around the mics during the middle eight, but they didn't do that with only three of them, alas.
The crowd was definitely amazing at both the London shows I saw. Gary's not kidding when he says that the audience is half their shows. I have never seen an audience that enthusiastic at any show, ever. (Congrats on your hubby being converted! Mine remains unmoved, the he freely affirmed that "Howard Donald is a handsome, handsome man." *g*)
I've been swamped with work and getting back into the rhythm of things at home and adjusting back into our time zone, so I haven't had time to post anything more about the concert, but I think I'm going to attempt something tonight.
