I think we can take a wild guess at the setlist. Probably the same as it's been for the last five years, give or take, but with a couple of songs off Get Lucky tacked on at the start and the end.

i did send in the setlist, but the recipients were probably too busy

Right after the gig I have got an sms from Elian, really bad news, I'm trying to translate his words.
Sorry if the words seem hard :

"A disaster! One of his worst performance, he has done a live butchery!! We are sad for him... Fingers crossed for tomorrow... And for the rest of the tour above all. We are going to drown our sorrow with some london beers!"

I was shocked reading this, but I trust Elian. He was more than happy after the excellent Dublin gig, and disappointed with the New York's one.
I trust him when he says such things, even if it's not what we like to read about MK 

Anyone else who was there can tell us more about this "bad" night ?

[herlock]

I can accept that some shows are better than others, but "live butchery" sounds really excessive don't you think ? I don't think any of his concerts for the past 33 years has deserved such a word, so why start today ?

I'd suggest to calm down. Our French friend has probably chosen the wrong words in the heat of the moment; I can't imagine the show was THAT bad. Let's wait for some more reviews

I agree it should be excessive, Elian is sometimes "hot" with his words 
His french original word was "massacre live", I think we understand his feelings.

I will try to know more from him today. That's also why I am curious to read different reviews.
Maybe MK has suffered a lot yesterday because of the injury and has made many errors ?

[Love Expresso]

Or maybe all the vip's in the first seven rows had been  entertained with a wild party after the show the day before so that they can be blamed for Mark's condition?

The unanimous trend so far was that he was getter better every night (if it is possible !)
I have carefully listened to the RAH # show I have purchased, and I found it te be excellent, better than the USA audience concerts I listened to, and way above the 2008 concerts; that was 4 days ago... and the reviews are excellent up to the previous show on June 2nd; so, assuming there is an element of truth in your friend's report, what happened I can only think of a severe health deterioration, and that worries me... First, of course, for Mark, and then, selfishly, for the show in Paris I'm going to attend in 5 days with 3 ladies...

The only thing I can add to this discussion that I attended RAH sunday and monday. On sunday MK looked fresh and happy during the whole show, but on monday after the show he looked tired. So I hope he will have a good day off on saturday. I will be in Antwerp on sunday and in Franfurt on monday, you will hear about that shows from me
