Never done the O2 either and don't particularly want to but it's looking like the only English gig this year so may still indulge... as you say high risk (walked off stage in Poland the other night after about 5 songs because he didn't like what someone said FFS) but playing a lot off the new album so I'm tempted (not bothered about revisiting the past too much). Not sure but I don't think he's ever played over 90 mins in his life so no chance of 2 hours.

Tempted to go on the Sunday as it is Motley Crue's last tour and there won't be too many more chances to see Kiss in the future.

Saw The Lovely Eggs last night. Good fun even though it was difficult to see them and hear the mid song banter. Hopefully they will play a better venue next time. Slum Of Legs in support. Second time I have seen them. Played about five songs and would certainly recommend them.
Ordered mine & my daughters tickets a few months back. More than happy with the line up so far
Saw Mozzer last night. I must admit I was not expecting much after hearing about his walk-off in Poland, a hefty 60 euros (a lot for the venue he played) and the last time I saw him he seemed disinterested. Maybe my low expectations helped but his performance last night was nothing short of great. He was in fine form, quite playful, and dare I say it upbeat. His voice was perfect and the sound of the band and their playing was spot on as well. I've seen him a number of times during his solo career and cannot recall ever walking away so fulfilled before. The band looked resplendent in their matching **** HARVEST RECORDS t-shirts as well. Oh, and he gave a nice monologue about Berlin as well (Morrissey being complimentary and positive about something
?)
Not going to spoil the setlist too much as I know there are some NSCers going to the O2 gig....but he does lean heavily on the new album so be prepared.

How much is it to see him at the o2?
Twickets has had rubbish seats approx £45, standing £65, better seats £55. I wasn't willing to pay this for the O2 when they first went on sale but am (predictably) second guessing myself as the day approaches. I was hoping for UK dates in the New Year somewhere decent and may still risk it...
Difficult call. All I can say is that I paid 60 euros and walked away having had a great evening. I was near the front which no doubt played a part in my enjoyment. If I was up in the rafters I might have a different view. Good luck with whatever you decide though.

Sounds like you had a great evening then. Hope for more of the same on Saturday-I read somewhere that the new album took up half the set but I like most of its tracks so that's all good. Our tickets are seated- £70 each inc various booking fees. Standing had sold out. That and the football p.m is going to make it an expensive day. Mozzer has three more dates before the O2 so hope he saves some energy in reserve.
SPOILER ALERT: Link for Berlin set list etc.

Just back from Echo and the Bunnymen. After the initial shock that Will Sergeant now looks like Ricky Tomlinson in a Sandi Toksvig wig it was rather splendid. No 'Do It Clean' but other than that top draw.
Interesting comments which concur with my thoughts. And he did say Leipzig, and not Lancing, as someone suggested.

How are you, Pevenseagull? I don't recall seeing posts from you for a good while. Did they play Stars Are Stars or The Puppet?

I'm pretty good now. No to the above songs but Over The Wall was quite superb. The songs from the new record were not out of place but ultimately a set including: Rescue, Never Stop, The Killing Moon, Seven Seas, The Cutter, Bring on the Dancing Horses etc. Performed with vigour is going to leave me and Mrs Pevenseagull in Tuesday night heaven

Saw The levellers follow their film last night with an absolute belter of an acoustic set with some nice rarely heard tunes chucked in. A fantastic night all round.
