What the ****? "There was virtually no interaction with the audience, apart from two blink and you miss it ‘good to back’ comments from Ferry and a bit of hand clapping towards the end."

This review is typical of the general public, they want the hits. I would probably be the same for any other group. But we, the real fans, got what we wanted. The set list looks great to me. Even though Dreamhome and A Song For Europe (my 2 favourite songs) have been dropped, we have heard them enough times live over the last 10 years. There are enough replacements to keep me happy (Sentimental Fool, Just Like You, Prairie Rose)
Can't wait for the London gig.
I just hope there are no BA strikes, snow storms etc to stop me flying in from Geneva

Michael,

Thanks for your input. I agree, they could play anything and I'd be happy. I saw Roxy once and Bryan twice. Met Bryan twice as well and partied until 5:30 am with David Williams in '94 on the Mamouna tour. RIP David.

Sentimental Fool is one my favourites (along with End of The Line) because when I first heard them, they explained the pangs of an unrequited love I experienced over 30 years ago. I can sing them and when I do, you know what happens.

So she and Bryan inspired me to write and sings songs. Thanks Bryan! (I 'spose we're in the same boat when you lost Jerry).

Michael, I hope you make to the London gig! Keep me posted.

Thanks,
Erland

I'm guessing VP meant "whinger", Erland, and that it was just a typo; to whinge means to moan or complain. We English do it a lot, but almost never at the right time! :)
