We went as vip's (Paid extra) we both felt Bryan enjoyed the whole occasion
The mix of old and new was great and although sat on the second row with a great view , the people who ran to the front enjoyed it, the odd drunk person did tarnish it for me . But the support, and of coarse Mr Ferry's voodoo made up , a great time roll on Blackpool for our second sitting
I disagree with the above post I too was at the front and I think the mix of old and new was just right sound is distorted at the front yes I agree with that but I felt Bryan put his heart and soul into his performance last night. I first saw Bryan in 1974 and have also seen him around 10 times. I thought he seemed far more relaxed last night than he did on the tour with the Bryan Ferry orchestra which I saw in Sheffield in November 2013.
This was my 10th Bryan concert and was so looking forward to it. However, we managed to get to front of stage for 2nd half of concert and the sound was just awful, you could barely hear Bryan's voice despite being so close it was almost as if he was miming or his microphone not working? I felt there was something missing this time and wondered if Bryan was ill as he did not have his usual spark? Would prefer more lively tracks and enjoyed the last 20 mins so much more than first part of concert, backdrop of staging was dark throughout and don't feel the stage was perhaps big enough? Sorry for all this negativity but feel a bit cheated when we paid £72 per ticket! I also hear he did 3 less songs at Harrogate than other venues and show finished earlier than advertised which again is not good. I never thought I would say this as been a fan for over 40 years but don't think I will pay to see him again sorry!!
