Just back home.
So, overall it was a great show and I don't mind admitting I was in tears at the end.
I was really surprised that the songs were so "MK like". That seems like a strange thing to say but I think I thought they would be in a different "musical theatre" style. But really they will be very familiar to all of us. As with the last few albums, lots of little motifs we've heard before.
Off the top of my head I was reminded of Good On You Son, Monteleone, Heart Full of Holes, Hard Shoulder and Beryl. Probably others.
The guitarist in the band did a good job of mimicking MK, to the extent that I did wonder if he had sat in for the night.
So the songs are good, but not amazing. In fact, they are probably the weakest part of the show, not that they are weak, just weaker than the script, staging and acting which is all fabulous.
I really hope we get to hear MK's demos as it will essentially be another MK solo album.
Stand out songs for me were I Wonder If I Can Go Home Again and Big Mac.
