I actually got 2 out of 3 correct in my guess :-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I comparison with the 2004 tour, this concert was way better. The crowd, of mostly 40+, was really into it, Bernard was really relaxed and in a great mood, Gillian was there, setlist was great and all tracks we’re great live versions. I wish they’d do a remix album with the new versions :-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The only thing bringing it down a little was the quite poorly mixed/eq'd vocals.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s some NO pics:</div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0291.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0291.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0296.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0296.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0303.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0303.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0311.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0311.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0322.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0322.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0333.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0333.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0337.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0337.jpg</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0344.jpg" class="">http://www.deadmengods.com/misc/no2015/IMG_0344.jpg</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">/Micke</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Setlist, middle tracks are out of order:</div><div class="">Singularity</div><div class="">Ceremony</div><div class="">Age of consent<br class="">The Village</div><div class="">Bizarre love triangle<br class="">Lonesome tonight</div><div class="">Crystal</div><div class="">Waiting for the sirens call</div><div class="">Your silent face<br class="">Perfect Kiss<br class="">Restless<br class="">Plastic<br class="">Tutti frutti<br class="">People on the high line</div><div class="">True faith</div><div class="">Temptation</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Encore:</div><div class="">In a lonely place<br class="">Love will tear us apart</div><div class="">Blue Monday</div></body></html>
