I'm sure Dean will give a full account of the concert in due course.
It was great to meet him and the lovely Cathy for the first time in person.
Downloading some videos from my camera as I write this and will post when I can.
Set List attached graciously signed by the lovely Charley Webb.
Very annoying thing this time as seen from 2nd row & probably others in the vicinity.
The left side front of stage cameraman appears to have just got his driver's license and was scooting back and forth all night. Very distracting - should have had his wheels clamped.
As Dean has reported an excellent show. 2nd half probably more "oomph" than 1st.
3 encores tonight - LC went through the Budweiser comments after Closing Time and
everyone thought the concert was over.
Several band members had to do an about turn at the top of the steps and return to their places for "I Tried To Leave You".
Expressions of surprise mainly from the sublime Webb Sisters (not incandescent tonight), Dino and Rafael.
The last 2 mentioned seemed to be having a ball in their own separate ways.
During "Closing Time" while LC was singing adjacent to and looking at Dino, during the "Once for the devil" phrase Dino made a sign of horns on top of his head with his index and little fingers. Got a good audience response. Hadn't seen that before.
Less standing ovations early in the show (compared with my only other 2010 concert - Sydney 8Nov2010), but staid old home town Adelaide caught up in the 2nd half and during the encores.
Re photography: Took a monopod tonight.
1. No problems getting it in - acted like it was my walking stick!
2. It made me more obvious to security and I was "warned off" at interval, so my videos are only from the first set.
Re Set list: Plan ahead - talk sweetly to someone in the crew beforehand. The chap I spoke to was as good as his word and appeared shortly after the house lights went up.
Seriously lucky with the autograph - Charley Webb was waiting for a guest, near the steps from the stage and came over and signed it for me.

p.s. Videos to follow - Who By Fire went for 10 delicious minutes and Anthem even longer.
Nearly 2am - getting tired and sleepy at last.
Videos are:
Bird On A Wire
Everybody Knows
Waiting For The Miracle
Who By Fire
Anthem
Really wanted Singer Must Die, but every time I looked at the security man he was staring at me and I didn't want to be thrown out!
Sorry folks, especially Bridger15 (my guardian angel), the videos will have to wait.
