Counting down, 35mins til scheduled start.

Its been a strange day, awakening to a noisy refrigerator fan that broke outside my bedroom window (and then got repaired), then it was a Tremendously windy day.

Are these signs of what is ahead...?

Yeah, "...'the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world'... you said"!

Wow, each night seems to getting more profound. I personally felt a deeper connection with the experience last night (but I must acknowledge I also spent several hours meditating prior to the show so that may have skewed my perception of it ;)
Last night everything was so rich, deep, perfect. From the lights and visuals, to each track sounding amazing. Homesick seems to be reworked a bit every night, and this time started with Roger playing the intro on keys (rather than Simons bass) -all seemed to be concentrating and playing to perfection, and the end product was sublime.
The addition of Three Imaginary Boys was great, and allowed Reeves a bit more room to spread his wings.
Oh and I forgot to mention starting with Delirious Night, wow what a great track, and an Amazing experience being in the audience! Reminds me of Tomorrow Never Knows (one of my favourite Beatle tracks).  (...side-note, am I the only one who always 'glitches' when hearing "number 9"?  At my hotel the receptionist said I was in room number 9, to which I felt a strong urge to reply "number 9, number 9, ..." haha)

...ok off to do more meditation now, hoping the deep and insightful experience I had last night can continue tonight.
Coincidentally I'm seated in pretty much the same place as last night (one seat difference) so hopefully this is a good sign :)

No you're not alone, sometimes it happens to me too!  :lol:

Setlist updated in the first post of this topic. I have the feeling they might close the last night with a different song :)

I disagree, ending with Pirate Ships is very beautiful and I cannot imagine it being omitted from the final show and livestream. I anticipate a very similar or identical set list to nights 3&4 :)
