The meet and greet was amazing, I don't know why but I was surprised at how genuinely friendly Mick seemed. He said that the new music will be released in some form or another, with or without a certain member and he also said that he believed the band had one more big tour left in them which he hopes would begin at the end of 2016. I asked him if there was any possibility that they would play Glastonbury to which he replied (after much waffling) 'probably not'.
Security were pretty strict. They would only allow the first row to the stage. I was row 2 and when I went to the stage I was promptly instructed to return or I'll be 'ushered out'. However I absoluteiy refused to sit down so about 4 songs in a security guy came to me and my mate and allowed us to go to the stage! The show was amazing. Christine is quite interactive, I managed to strum Lindsay's guitar and shook hands with Stevie. I think I went a litte crazy and after the concert I had numerous people come up to me to ask if I was the guy in the red t-shirt at the front dancing like a lunatic (!).
Highlights for me were GDW, little lies, Think About Me, ISA, and I had goosebumps for the entirety of Songbird.
Can't wait for Sunday night!

Nice to see a familiar name in this thread! Glad you had such a great time, golddustboi. I don't blame you for going crazy - what an intoxicating night. All five members were in fine form. I thought Stevie's voice sounded better than any of the times I had seen her in the past. Perhaps it was because she had been able to have a break from touring. Christine was a delight and having her songs back made for such a much more balanced setlist. Having (mostly!) avoided YouTube videos until I had seen the show for myself, I was so impressed with the use of the video screens and the impact of the visual elements. It was a much more 'current' show, in that sense, than I had been anticipating. Highlights on Thursday were 'Sara' (I missed 'Sisters Of The Moon', but it was worth sacrificing to have 'Sara' back), 'Everywhere', 'Tusk' and 'Gold Dust Woman' for me. I was way back on the floor on Thursday which let me appreciate the scope of the staging, but I'm excited to be down the front tonight. Bring it on!
