Very good show tonight! Better than yesterday I think. They were more relaxed and the setlist was great.
The order of the songs was interesting as well, I was surprised to hear “Charlotte sometimes” so early, I was not prepared 🤣

Absolutely mesmerising. There are very few bands that could play a set that long and for every second to be wonderful.

It's so hard to believe that it's almost the last time this year when we are listening to Alone...

Live in progress, that is ! Don't lose Faith ! We've got many ways (at least 6 different) of replaying this one ! With thanks to the tapers/ uploaders, as always. praise2

Tim Burgess (Charlatans singer) who hosted the Wish listening party with RS, has been invited to tonight's show, courtesy of RS... Nice gesture ! (no, no not jealous, I swear...)

I misread, Tim's invited on Tuesday, grand finale...

The Figurehead, finally

No reference to them not having played it in the UK since 1876, no intro but it was received with hushed reverence.
No chatting amongst the crowd while they waited for a proper hit. Lit as a 3 piece until Reeves added his very tasteful take on the 'solo' part.
Nice touch to follow it with A Strange Day.

Made the whole journey worth while!

I was thinking,maybe it is time to bring back 'Fascination Street' just for the end of the Euro Tour
And maybe,maybe another/different 2nd encore?
Something like an old school let's say?!

lioness and the18th - I’m actually away from home right now, which is why I haven’t been around these past few shows! I am humbled that the two of you thought about me yesterday during the gig; honestly, it’s nice to feel appreciated/thought about by people from this community. Perhaps I’m just biased, but TC fans are the greatest of folk.

hope the final show is an epic one!

Good to hear you're allright! Tonight's the finale, but I'm sure you'll read the review if you can't make it ;-) Have fun wherever you are!

But of course we were thinking of you, you were missed. I hope you can be with us tonight but if not, enjoy your time away from home

But I don't see
And I don't feel
But tightly hold up silently
My hands before my fading eyes
And in my eyes
Your smile

I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

Does anyone know the significance of Simon holding his bass up to the sky? Is it always the same time in the same song? I'm assuming for his wife that passed away... but curious if anyone has more knowledge?

He's shooting seagulls.
