I’m seeing them on 23rd June at the O2 and am trying (failing) not to find out too much about the show or the set list 😂😭

Whole Lotta History is a hidden gem in their discography. Should have been a bigger hit. A great song which they all shine on and I prefer it to the ballads the covered. It should be their 2 Become 1 or Never Ever.

I remember in their documentary from years ago, Sarah was really upset that WLH didn't chart as high as she thought. So it's poignant that they sang this to honour her.
 

I was there last night. Did anyone who's been yet, think the ending/finale was a bit flat? Like they just took a bow, turned round and shuffled off the stage like they'd just finished on the karaoke machine down the pub.

To say the promise was also the finale song on the OOC and 10 tour the ending for both of those was like a big finish where they thanked the dancers, the band, the fans etc said goodnight and thank you then like finished with a bang with the hydraulic lifts on OOC for example.

Hope I'm wording that in a way people understand 🤣

My take on it was they wanted to make that song about Sarah, letting her have the last final moment of the show and although it was one of their biggest songs winning them the Brit etc I think they wanted to keep it simple, more about Sarah and the lyrics rather then making it a grand spectacle.

I get what you mean and I agree! The Promise has been their encore song since the OOC tour and tbh I think it's a bit dull. 🤣 It's one of my least favourite songs of theirs but cos it was so successful they've made it their defining song. But I think the goal was to have it end with Sarah. I thought it was strange how they just walk off between acts and at the end. There was also basically no interludes that weren't just the dancers. They missed opportunities to have montages of them all together on past tours or even some iconic clips from Off The Record.

Yesssss! You've just said something else I agree with that I hadn't put my finger on till you said it!! the transitions seemed a bit lifeless as well.

I'm trying to think of what the transitions were like on the 2 past tours I've seen of theirs 🤔

I agree on ending with Sarah 100% but I still think it could have been a bit more razzamataz in a way that wouldn't have been disrespectful to her or her memory...if I was in charge of staging 😂😂 I'd have done something along the lines of when they came back out for the encore saying to the audience Sarah loved to party so let's all get on our feet and celebrate her one last time tonight...then, between the "maybe it's not that hard to know you" bit and the final chorus took it to just an instrumental where they said all their thank yous, one last chorus then they say "good night Manchester" stage lights cut, and a pic of Sarah comes up on the big screens "Sarah Nicole Harding 1981-2021 forever in our hearts" while people left the arena.

All they had was that pic of Sarah in her promise dress for a few seconds which I think had gone by the time they turned around and walked off the stage.

I’m not a Taylor Swift fan but I’d like to have seen them do an Eras style tour e.g songs from Chemistry (Watch Me Go), Sound of the Underground (All I need, all I don’t). I’m really looking forward to my Leeds date though and it’s become my whole personality for the next 2 weeks 🌚

Is anyone still yet to receive e tickets/sms tickets for Newcastle shows?
My show is Friday and no tickets and being ignored

Still not got mine for Friday either, and they seem to either be completely ignoring people on Twitter, or just copying and pasting "Tickets will arrive 3 days before the gig" responses. Really poor service, and causing people unnecessary stress. Saw someone say yesterday that they hadn't received their tickets for yesterday's gig, which makes me even more worried.

I’m honestly in two minds whether to just buy some off ticketmaster for another show
It’s ridiculous isn’t it
Hope you get yours soon
