Worth it to see a band you really love if music's your thing.

 

My mates have bought tickets to see Fleetwood Mac next year.. for what they paid, I'd be wanting driven there in a limo, champagne dinner and to be escorted by George Clooney.

 

That said, if I could have gone, I'd have paid the money too..

Yes it does seem a lot on the face of it, but that is the sort of prices bands charge these days for a decent seat (and I got a good seat).

 

Also you now have to get on-line and fight with others the minute the tickets get put on sale - it's madness!!

 

Putting it into perspective, some people pay that to watch football each weekend and for others that is half of their Friday/Saturday spend on drinking out!

 

I get to see them only once a year or less, so I'm pretty comfortable to pay that amount... just.

Yes, that annoys me, but unavoidable really. As I indicated above it's because I had to fight with the internet buyers, I usually walk past the ticket off each day, but would have struggled to get a decent seat, the tickets for the Human League always sell fast.

Have a great time 

 

 

I really enjoyed them too. I liked that fact that Phil threw in Life Kills, kind of unexpected as he usually does Being Boiled or on the rare occasion Empire State Human.

 

I too was centre stage, but I chose a few rows back as I kinda like a little distance. You can see from my submitted (one photo I took) where I was roughly. Please upload yours.

Sat a few rows in front of me was the chap from The Chaser, I think they call him Mark Labbett. You can see him on the photo below, he is dark haired and to the left, the tall guy!

 

He had a lot of selfies taken and seemed very good with it, no trouble for him, some even had multiples and other people just took them without asking. Came across as a nice bloke really.

I generally see the League once a year and each time they have changed their set list, probably to mix things up and keep it less predictable and more interesting. But not massively so, only by a few songs each time.

 

Dare as you would expect features heavily, this time (if memory serves) we had an opener of The Things That Dreams Are Made Of with Open Your Heart, Sound of the Crowd, Seconds, Love Action and the final song before the encore was Don't You Want Me Baby. A couple of the songs were cross mixed.

 

They also performed The Path of Least Resistance from Reproduction and from Travelogue Life Kills.

 

From Hysteria we got I Love You Too MuchLouiseThe Lebanon and Life On Your Own.

 

I think they also performed Mirror Man, which I don't think was an album track, along with (Keep Feeling) Fascination.

 

I don't recall anything from Crash.

 

From Romantic, Heart Like A Wheel.

 

From Octopus, Tell Me When.

 

From CredoNight People.

 

The other track used in the encore is Together In Electric Dreams. I can't remember the running order, but I think I have picked up on the songs performed. Cinds and Clumsycat may be able to correct or add any mistakes made.

 

They have in the past performed Being Boiled, Crow And A Baby, Empire State Humanand Do Or Die, Darkness,Almost Medieval andCircus of Death.

 

I would love to hear them do Dancevision and Marianne live again, it's been far too long.

 

Hope that goes someway to answering your question Carnelian. 

 

Oh, they played for a couple of minutes short of 1.5 hours.

First 3 albums - GREAT!

What followed... a mixed bag!

 

Hysteria has it's moments but not enough of them IMO

Sounds like a very good set.  Never seen the Human League live, oddly, yet they are one of my favourite all time bands.
