It's an expensive business isn't it. I'm glad that pretty much everyone who wanted tickets seems to have got them. And ticketweb didn't mess up too much

Darren posted these blogs on his FC blog re. the show and setlist. Just don't tell anybody I showed you. SPOILERS BELOW!! Spoiler Alert Sunday, 03 February 2008 Heylo. I’m writing this from my dressing room before I start to get ready for tonight’s show. For those who don’t want to know the set list – look away now! For those who do – scroll down after the break. I’m really in love with this collection of songs and it’s wonderful to have the material and the opportunity to explore some of the things that I have never played live before. I especially love being able to do more songs of ‘Delicate..’ . Anyway scroll down to see the set list for The Side 2 Tour. Much love xD > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1. HERO 2. BOMBS UP IN MY FACE 3. SENSE OF HUMOR 4. A CONVERSATION WITH GOD 5. GUNNING DOWN ROMANCE 6. RANDOM BLINKING LIGHT (acoustic) 7. 100 CHALLENGING THINGS (acoustic) 8. SETTING SUN (just Shave and Darren) 9. MAYBE 10. MINE (acoustic) 11. DIRTY (drum machine version) 12. CASEY (redux) 13. SING TO ME --------------------------------------------- 14. I DON'T CARE 15. SO BEAUTIFUL (the beautiful mix) And London Feb 3rd ‘Side 2 Tour’. Monday, 04 February 2008 My thoughts on tonight are jumbled so let me share them with you. In no particular order.. It’s a challenging set list. Vocally, verbally (yikes lyrics!) and of course emotionally. Now that you are all aware of the songs performed I can discuss in more detail why it was challenging. First of all there is no drummer. Which was intentional – to make the shows be less about rocking out and more about voice and song choices and to showcase the material off the new album which is heavily influenced by Justin and I sitting in a room together. I wanted the show to feel a bit like coming round to listen to us do some songs rather than a ‘show’. But having no drummer makes the music feel more, I don’t know, intellectual? Like you want to ‘listen’ rather than rock out. As a performer, the pleaser, the part of me that wants to make sure everyone is having a good time – is aware that it would be easier to just do a more traditional gig. Doing a more obscure set list is a delicate balance to pull off – because instinct makes you want to reach for the ‘gun’ so to speak. And by ‘gun’ I mean HIT SONGS. This is the first time I’ve toured with such an obscure set list. A fan’s dream, I would hope. But not necessarily a casual listener’s favourite material I would imagine. Thoughts of that Prince gig I saw once where he only played experimental Jazz come to mind! But that being said, it was called the Side 2 Tour for a reason. To suggest album tracks, b sides, rarer things. So on that front I’d hope that we delivered. But it was interesting because I could feel all 3 of us actually coming to grips with it on stage. Thinking, quite literally, ‘ohhh so THIS is a different way of moving..’. We’re so used to having the power of, say, a big production. Or the ease of throwing in something like ‘Carry on Amadeus’ or ‘The Best Thing’ as an instant crowd pleaser. Tonight it was realizing that, no, this is something altogether different. A point of difference to the Time Machine Tour. It could only be played to a crowd who have seen a lot of what I do and would appreciate the dusted off treasures. Be interesting to see how this unfolds.. ![]() I will say, I just read what Cat had to say in her post about the cold shivers. And I feel the same way to be honest. There’s something heavy about this set list. And though it would be more entertaining in some ways not to be heavy – I kind of like it. In many ways as a show it reminds me of what ‘The Tension and The Spark’ was as an album. A bit uncomfortable but utterly pivotal. Xx |

LONDON FEB 4TH Tuesday, 05 February 2008 Talk about night and day. THAT was a wonderful gig. I was so much more relaxed on stage (*owing in full I’m sure to getting over first night jitters and the TERROR of new songs first time blah blah). And there was a really tight connection between Steve, Shave and I. We changed the order of a couple songs by moving Gunning Down Romance and that fact alone seemed to give us a little bit more room to ramp up tonight. 100 Challenging felt better at this tempo (we sped it up just a little) and Dirty was fun! Little bits of I Want You and Britney thrown in for good measure. Worked a treat. I got a chance to say hi to a few people afterwards. Some who’d travelled form the other side of the city and some from the other side of the world. And I got to share the TRUTH about the Insatiable video (ask your friends). Mhwahah. It was lovely. Just lovely. x I am ONLY doing it because it's tour related. Honest.
