Updates, meetups, etc. Anything for us to live vicariously through those actually attending.

I opted for the package. Being of an age that I seem to be forgetting practically everything, can someone tell me what are the arrangements for the T-shirt. Does it get posted or do we pick up on the night. Thanks

Anyone know what time The Horrors are due on stage? Brixton Academy website used to put up running times a few days previously, but nothing this time. I'm not that bothered about catching them, seen them support The Jesus and Mary Chain, Depeche Mode and at Field Day previously and not been that excited by what I've seen but they've got to be better than the last few supports I've seen at N.O. shows, and I might as well try and get my moneys worth.

Dropped Crystal, according to Setlist.fmDoes this mean they'll swap in Crystal for Age of Consent tomorrow night to create a "different" set?

Apparently they came on with the French tricolour as backdrop and Bernard "Vive Le France!"
I'm not on Twitter but googled tonight's show and among results was a Twitter post from Andy Burnham (a Labour MP for those outside UK who may not know who he is) who attended the show and tweeted that info.

The encore (Atmosphere, LWTUA and Blue Monday) was dedicated to the victims of Friday as well - loved the show, the eighth time I've seen New Order live and one of the best yet (Hooky can fuck right off if he thinks the band is missing him in anyway these days), Bernard seemed in fine form vocally - Elly Jackson/La Roux came on for vocals on Tutti Frutti and People On The High Line, Brandon Flowers was doing a show at Shepherds Bush Empire Monday night so wouldn't be surprised if people going tomorrow get him as well/instead.

Last night was the best I have seen em both post hooky and since the 98 reformation
Great to hear 5 new tracks and Waiting for the sirens call was brilliantly reworked, some very poignant marks of respect for Paris can't wait for Manchester
On the high line

Thought it was a great show - a reworked waiting for the sirens call being a highlight along with Lonesome tonight
on another note I found a mens watch in the pit half way through the gig - am letting the academy know now - if you or anyone else lost one, drop me a line to confirm make/model & I will get it back to you

Dear Bernard
Can you please not linger on the last word of a line when you should already be singing the next line? It can be a bit annoying.
Thanks.

Also the synth melody wasn't loud enough on AOC.
Points for effort on WFTSC (mixing Planet Funk with original, BS: "we haven't done this before") but I thought it ended up sounding like a bit of a hodge podge.
I didn't actually miss Crystal, and it was certainly a long enough gig so can't complain there. I missed Regret though.
