I could have done without Chains of Love and Blue Savannah instead and maybe even Love to Hate You. We end up with another greatest hits as the Live CD at this rate and the arrangements aren't that different from the original.

God Manchester last night was so hot as normal - two of my group had to move to the sides / back as it was roasting - being the Neon tour shame there was not more Neon tracks - Wonder if the live recordings will get all the tracks dropped
Going to the O2 Sunday so I hope it isn't as hot!!

Live Here Now gave us a clue as to which concert (or concert) is being recorded (see
@Pughie's post above yours), and you were probably at it!
It looks as if it's one, or possibly both, of the Manchester gigs were being recorded, so unless something went badly wrong during the performances, I imagine the Neon songs you heard on the night will be on the live CD.

Cardiff gig was fantastic. Largest stage set up so far, and floor was quite full by 7.15
Wayne was fabulous, and crowd singing along.
Erasure on top form, one of the best vocal performances I have heard from Andy in a long while. He did forget the words to a number of songs. I'm sure I counted 5 tracks he fluffed up on.
Despite receiving emails saying masks were mandatory, the stewards said they were optional. Covid checking took about 30 secs... Just have the covid pass ready.
A definite 10 out of 10

I almost agree agree, the gig was amazing, the friendliness of the people working at the venue was great. Erasure were unbebelievably good. The only thing I disagree on is that I think they deserve a 12 out of ten, because they excelled, would have been 15 points, but despite reading the lyrics from an iPad Andy messed up the words too many times
