Yes, the question's rhetorical.
I was worried that he'd just play new songs and having not heard his latest album I went with an open mind to enjoy tunes I hadn't heard before. Then he started playing The Day Brings straight into Some Never Come Home. Absolutely fantastic set, couldn't ask for more really.
I've also never seen someone so receptive to crowd shout outs changing mid song to another someone just shouted out. After that I kept trying the human-voice-activated-jukebox approach for his cover of Sometimes It Snows In April, but had to settle for his cover of Purple Rain! :D
fuck socks.
I only just found out he was even DOING a London date last night...
GUTTED. GUTTED. GUTTED.
:-(
This won't help then

this made him realise he has plenty of fans over here and will come back again...
hope. hope. hope.
