Lubic Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Haiti and Ocean of Noise... that gets my stamp of approval. Loved Manchester (Suburban War ) but wish I could've done both. Been itching to see them again all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an Florence fan so much, and Jarvis is an absolute boy, but I can imagine this being pretty massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really pleased about this tour though, y'know. Just such a massive triumph over all the dark clouds hanging over the band since last summer, proving themselves where they know best.

Mash011 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) happiest I've been at a gig since LCD at glasto. baffled that all that happened in one gig. apparently the first time theyve done the neighborhoods in sequence. florence must be properly huge now, got a bigger reaction than anything arcade fire did. And then boy george happened???? We dont deserve arcade fire Edited April 13, 2018 by Mash011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 3 nights of pure triumph in London. Rave reviews all round. No doubt EN has a couple of stinkers, but the 4-5 tracks that are being played on this tour are decent, especially when blended in to a back catalogue as strong as Win and the lads have. It’ll be interesting to see which direction the next album goes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 That gig was even amazing from the cheap (still £65) seats. Been eight times - that was the best one by miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomViolence Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 WOW. Thursday was up there with the best gigs I've ever been to. Setlist was ace, the new tracks worked so well and the crowd around me were great too! Topped off by coincidentally being right by Regine when she came into the crowd and when they all came off at the end Wish I was seeing them again soon!

FloorFiller Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Increasingly wishing I'd decided to get one of those £30 tickets for the Manchester show. Setlists are looking mighty tasty for this tour, although looks like London has been getting especially treated on those last two dates with the guests + 6 Funeral tracks. Glad to hear they're still nailing it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2-3 touts max outside Wembley station on Wednesday. Would normally be 5-10 times that amount. So yep I reckon it’s working.

Afraid I arrived about 4 seconds before they came on so didn't notice. Gig looked like a sell out inside though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingers_mark Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hard to put into words just how amazing these recent shows are. Can't think how they can be topped. The run from Ready to Start to Creature Comfort is mindblowing. Went Thursday then picked up a ticket to go again last night. Florence was genius, song worked so well, she then spent the rest of the show dancing in the crowd where they enter the venue. Not so bothered for Boy George but it's a big song. Now Birmingham tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchmaster Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Absolutely incredible night last night. Hard to put into words; when Florence showed up my head fell off and by far the best first date I’ve ever been on (even if my horrible out of tune singing killed the chance of a second date ).
