As the man said "If you didn't come to dance, y'all might as well go home now"

I managed to get a set list off a sound desk in the arena. A couple of planned songs seem to have got last minute changes so here is the official set exactly as it appears on the setlist in black, and changes/details in red

PEACH

He was quite chatty. Said a few times "Hello Sydney, we're on first name terms". Asked everyone to come back tomorrow, said he'd be waiting for us.

I was in the Purple Ring and his face was a picture when his guitar tech did something to displease him after Gold. I think he wanted to have his guitar all through Jam of the year to Delirious but something wasn't right and he threw it back at the poor guy. Other than that it seems to have all gone to plan.

Sometimes it snows was a beautiful piece with a nicely understated guitar duel between Prince and Mr McKee.

The Twinz looked lovely, the singers, especially Shelby were awesome and the sampler set was a lot of fun.

Looking forward to tonight in a cheaper seat to get a view of the stage and the screens - and just need to hope the saying 'where there's a will there's a way' is true so I can get into The Ivy aftershow

It is so fantastic that the man played Love Thy Will Be Done.

I´m goin to his concerts for over 15 years now and never heard that live,

i wish i could have been there.

Also nice to see Jam Of The Year, Sometimes It Snows In April and Dance Electric

on the setlist. He seems to have some surprises for the Aussies although the setlist

is pretty much the same again for like over 2 years now.

Have fun on the upcomming shows

Who gets access to the official setlist to know that songs were missed or changed?
