Just left the Bonn gig. Great night, good crowd. Got Both Ends Burning. Total running time was 82 minutes. Missed Paul, but Andy played well. Will post set list in morning.

Splendid show! Really great, both band and crowd. I really enjoyed it, even more than Lokeren. Roxy Music still got it!

Ouch... 82 minutes... I didn't clock... I think 90 minutes should be reached in such a show. 80 minutes reminds me to Amsterdam 2005. Lots of people were complaining about that, and some still do when reminding that show.
Last night they didn´t loose time between main show and encores because Ferry decided not to leave the stage in between.
The short show time doesn't disappoint me though because of the great quality of the show.

Andy Newmark did a great job filling in, and was visibly having much fun.
If There Is Something back on the set list made my night.
And... Anna Phoebe is great!

wow! what an amazing gig!
it was a bit longer than 80 minutes- probably one and a half hours, although on the setlist (i got one! yeah!) there is wirtten "82 minutes".
bryans voice was especially in the first half of the concert in a very good shape- the backing singers not too high in the mix. seemed allright for me. the band was obviously very much enjoying themselves. great also the inclusion of both ends burning and if there is something (they rehearsed the outro in the afternoon).

in the second half of the gig tara joined the band on an little "drumkit" and bryan introduced him as "andy´s assistant"! funny!
i noticed two very funny things during "my only love":
the bass player (jeremy?) was having a good laugh during bryans, let us say "amateurish" piano solo...
and also phil missed the final part because of a techinical problemwith his guitar...so ollie thompson improvised and improvised...until just him and andy finished the song- great guitar solo, though!

the crowd was unbelieveable good- small and intimate venue- but it really worked!
all in all: 4,5 out of 5!
