I didn't hear anything negative from the audience at all as I left the show (someone was lamenting the absence of 'Daylight Katy' from the setlist, which could surely only happen in the UK!) and while the audience wasn't exactly wild I did only spot about 4 other folk under the age of 40 (or was that 60!) - I think they appreciated what they had, frankly.

As for me - pure heaven. His voice was actually stronger than I was expecting and if this is to be the only time I see him (which seems more than likely) he offered the perfect setlist for me (Watchman, Now and Then, Shadows, Waiting For You all present and correct - bliss I tell you!) - will admit to getting a bit teary as he walked onstage...now if he could just have a word with a certain Mr Cummings about what a nice place to play the UK is my full gig bucket list will be ticked off!!
