biko sounds so right live. wasn't expecting that. i like matt's new part in the song, and, also, what is russell doing towards the end (right after kele and gordon's "you're not doing this alone")? is he making the organ-ish sound? from the setlist, looks like they changed things around a bit for that gig. i like it.

LOLZ i think Russell is having a dabble at breaking through the ranks! hes not quite quite up to the versatility of Gordy yet though...nearly! (im guessin its probs a keyboard hes playing)

Yup - Russell was playing a keyboard at the end - i think it might have ran through his pedals.

They mixed up the setlists both nights - on the 2nd night they
played -

Waiting for the 7.18
Talons
Uniform
Letter to My Son
Two More Years

Omitting Mercury, Where is Home and a few others!
