Concert #32:2010.05.22, Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, England - Spoiler

[Silvertown]

Considering the millions made from merchandising on the back of the Get Lucky album and the Get Lucky tour - it would seem odd for anyone not to play a fair proportion of songs from their latest album which the tour is supposedly promoting.

The thing is though that the album was released a while ago now so most people already have it.  When the OES tour started, for example the album hadn't yet been released and on that tour they played quite a lot of new songs helping to promote it.  In short, I don't think he tours now specifically to promote an album but solely because he enjoys touring.

Aye. That

[Simon]

What I was referring to though is that the merchandise - and there is a lot of it  - is aimed at the 'Get Lucky World Tour' which obviously isn't a Get Lucky tour. So why is it that it is being promoted as such? It would be better if it was simply Mk on tour without mention or reference to an album. He/they/it can't have it both ways.

Isn't the name "GL tour" not just a reason to tour anyhow? They would do it without new album as well. Maybe they should call it "a new tour, volume I" and so on.

Nice setlist! Actually, I'm glad bonaparte is back! Go ahead, shoot me!

Aaaah, just shut the f*** up

[Mossguitar]

Yeah, Bonaparte is one of his greatest!

[ingridswing]

Just back from Newcastle, reading this thread, it was really great. Great to be in Newcastle, great to meet a couple of forummembers, the weather was excellent, so as an extra a little suntan 
I enjoyed the show a lot, you all know Bonaparte is not my biggest favorite but I loved it. Band was enjoying themselves, lot of smiles on stage. I hope to upload some pics one of these days.

It

Well, it was sad not to get What It Is (especially when I was totally expecting it given the previous 30-odd performances on this tour), but I think we've just got be pragmatic about it all now.He didn't play it, so that's the way it goes. We didn't get Get Lucky either, but we did get (in my opinion) a very good Bonaparte.

I think we also got an MK who seemed genuinely very determined to give his home crowd a great show. He even got carried away enough to get out of his chair whilst playing Speedway.

By the way, thanks to those who had a chat with me before and after the show. It was great to see you.
