Denver Set

Here's the list of their set in Denver a couple of nights ago, at the Magnus Arena in DU (not a big auditorium, but was perfect for the feel of their concert).

SUNRISE
WANT YOU MORE
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
A VIEW TO A KILL
NICE
WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW
COME UNDONE --- this is where they broke into the "chill" songs
ASTRONAUT
THE CHAUFFEUR --- Simon looked mighty yummy in his chauffeur's cap and black sequined shirt moving in a slinky fashion
ORDINARY WORLD
SAVE A PRAYER
BEDROOM TOYS --- picked up the beat again
NOTORIOUS
PLANET EARTH
REFLEX --- crowd went nuts
CARELESS MEMORIES --- loved the Japanimation on the big screens
WILD BOYS


GIRLS ON FILM --- he stopped halfway through and introduced the band, climbed into the audience and had a fan introduce him, very endearing.... he really tore this song apart, I loved it!
RIO

I wished they would've done White Lines, but they didn't. Not sure Rio was the right song to end it on, but now that I know what the song is about (supposedly it's about their journey to America) it makes more sense to end on that one.

I had such a great time!!!! We had fantastic seats (4th row, off to the side... right next to the left stage). Sang like no other and danced even harder. Such great energy. Andy didn't make it, his father got sick so he had to catch a flight out and was replaced w/ another young English kid, Dominique, who did a great job. John was a bit slow the whole night and not very enthusiastic. But Simon made up for it.... he looked better than ever (noticed he lost some weight, especially when he flashed his belly twice), and hit EVERY note.

All in all a very memorable performance.

    wow looks like they really changed it up a bit....you're lucky that you got a View to a Kill and Bedroom Toys, but bummer you didn't get Hold Back the Rain!

    Bummer that Andy wasn't there! that sucks that his dad is ill but still I would have been upset!

    That pretty much matches the list for the Louisville, KY show on Sunday that I went to. Only they did "Union of the Snake" which is my favorite! God, it was sooo incredible! It was a small venue and I had a great view! I loved "Bedroom Toys", "View to a Kill", "Notorious". I wish they would have done "Chains", that would have been awesome in concert. Andy wasn't at this one either. John seemed a little sluggish...but Simon had terrific energy. He went into the crowd and sang happy birthday to a girl during "Girls on Film". Afterwards, me and my friends tried to get autographs, but they didn't sign any. Simon and Roger came over to the crowd and shook a few hands. Just being within a few feet of them was a thrill for me! I got a good view of them both, but i wasn't able to say hi or anything. Even though the tour book was $45 I just had to get it. One section is a pop up book, with little cut outs of the band, the other section is filled with all kinds of info and really good pictures of all the members. It was a fantastic show, I wish I could afford to see them again!!

      I feel the same way Daphne!

      Now I'll have dreams of Simon singing "happy birthday" to me on my b-day.... *sigh*.

      The tour book kicks ass. It is so worth the $45. I had fun using the pop up stage and showing my friends the play by play of the concert. LOL!
