Any idea of the setlist?
This was a special concert (after a dinner), does the setlist change?

[Pyroaction]

Nobody was there?

[Kay Edvin]

Hoping for setlist-info!!

It's a bow-tie!   

BTW I'm beginning to think there's a "news blackout" on the Monaco shows!

Hmm, well a few comments on facebook etc that the shows were very good, if the set was short I would have expected this to be mentioned.

Knowing our luck its probably recorded & someone will decide to release this one on dvd.

The sound was fantastic!
There were quite some real fans there to make the ambience much better than I heard it usually is there due to the "locals"...
Too bad I didn't take my recorder  
After Montreux I was convinced simfy would record them all...
Didn't recheck!  
Great versions with endless outros!
Overall length more than 90 minutes even though only 11 songs were played.
The meal was really good.
The cheapest bottle of wine was 75 Euros...
I only had water (9 Euros for 1 liter) - and the waiter looked at me a bit annoyed, hee hee...
Nobody was allowed to take pictures, and as I wasn't too close to the stage it wouldn't have made sense anyway.

PS: I had the impression that Mark had problems with his voice.
Maybe therefore they played less songs but longer outros!

Many thanks for your review, filz!   I hope we get a good audience recording.   

[man on a track]

You're welcome. Sorry I kept it short...

Two more things to add:

1. I think they planned to end the show after TR.
Beers were served.
But the crowd REALLY screamed for encores, so they played BiA and SFA; and even then the applause wouldn't stop so they added PTTE.
Both breaks were quite long and it seemed they were surprised by the response of the audience.

2. I met Danny and Richard outside and it seemed they were happy to see real fans...
