If you said it because the warm weather, Gijon is at the North. The weather there is not so hot, you can expend the concert without drinks   ;D
You might get lucky, now and then

So far no news from Gijon, so no surprises so far.
Don't have the exact setlist

See what I got reported from Gijon last night. He ended too early, that's the reason last part wasn't played. We didn't know why before Richard's diary entry.

From Guy's diary:
The set was not without incident, some minor issues with the in-ears and the occasional near-end-of-tour brain-fade from various band members meant that the show was unique. However, it was brilliant fun and as alive as any other show on this tour, the crowd contributing as only a Spanish crowd can.

So, Ian was called out by both Richard and Guy. Makes me wonder if he is as unpopular with the rest of the band as he is with me.

Don't think he is unpopular at all. And Guy wrote that there were mistakes from various bandmembers, so it wasn't Ian alone.
After a little over 3 months (they say 4 months but it's) I think the focus fades away. Home is calling, maybe they are tired.

I have " Incomplete" mentioned on many audience recordings , but this will be the first on a officially release  :lol

My life is one big tour so that explains the amounts of mistakes I've made and still make :think

I cannot remember on which tour (  with BoB ?) that Mark forgot to sing the last verse during Bonaparte, now we got a nice karaoke version, those things happens.
Did Guy also include himself as a  "near-end-of-tour brain-fade from various band members"  , and does he sees Mark as band member ?

If No, no Guy and Mark are crossed out  ;D

Here the unfortunately early ending of Postcards............ Ianto seems to throw away his hand percussion when he noticed his mistake,
No real laughter by the band members and for sure not by Mark. (as I can see)
