OMG Trilly the set list sounds fantastic.  Irishman In New York. Whooo Hooo, WTG Damien. It should have been Irishman in Brighton.  And good on Big Jase for getting up and singing.  I would love to have witnessed that. *I wonder if it was the same Big Jase I know? Nah, probably not.  *Did you get to speak with Damien tonight Trilly and did you get any photos? |

Yes to both, myst. ;D D (and George, the minder) look for us now to be on the end of the signing line, which wasn't massive tonight, but still about two thirds of the room. ;D He was in a really happy mood after a gig he totally loved, and we had a quick chat,hug and *siiigh* kiss on the cheek.  He seemed amazed and grateful we would go to all 5 shows..we told him it was our absolute pleasure, and we'd see him at Manchester Lane. ;D Got some great shots I think.When I've had time to come back to earth, I'll be posting quite a few from all the gigs.  |

Oh wow so exciting that it was even better than the other night!! It must have been sensational Sounds like Damien is in brilliant form and having a wonderful tour! Thank you girls for posting and letting us all know after the shows each night how it all went  I love the way that Eric does that solo in 22 Steps, the acoustic version of that song gets better and better each time I hear it, love the way Damien keeps tweaking the songs. I'd love to hear Creep one day, would be spectacular live, esp the full version. eek!Look at the time!!  I'll post the SET LIST then hit the hay..but i;m on a massive high after this evening...hope D can sleep, he has an early start in the morning. Never Meant To Fail Catch The Wind Irishman In New York!! A very funny, lovely take on Sting's song which had the crowd singing along !! Fanfreakintastic!! ;D Guitar Man/Stairway To Heaven Annie's Song Longer 22 steps..which Eric ripped up in his guitar solo!! Beautiful...which Eric and Indi say is their favourite. D has been singing this divinely!!..and tonight was no exception.  Everybody's Talking..complete with show-off note!bwhahaha!! interval Second set Crying CREEP!!..which won the vote over DB..WOHOOO!!!  Hallelujah Baby I Love your Way Vincent Wild World Wicked game/Irish jig encore All I Want Is You |

Can't sleep..so i will just say that these gigs have been so different, but so incredible. It is hard to express just how amazing this man truly is LIVE! Many people have remarked to me that hearing him sing, up close and personal, is a stunning revelation, even if they love his recorded albums..males and females alike. Damien should be justly proud and happy with the impression he has left my city with this week. |

Trills, you certainly are on a high tonight and I can't say that I blame you. Do you remember life before Damien Leith? ;D
What a difference a venue makes (or as that old song goes What a difference a day makes, 24 small hours....). After reading your reports over the last five nights it's evident that the audience initially sets the mood for the show and tonight's show sounds like it was full of enthusiasm, excitement and anticipation. When I saw Damien in Canberra last year the audience was very staid, although they did eventually get into it. Damien absolutely took my breath away from the first song (Cold, Cold Heart) and each and every song after that was exquisite. His recordings just don't capture that special magic that Damien's voice exudes in a live performance.
Oh and I just have to say, I love George, he does a great job.

Wow! Wow! Wow! How can the man keep this up. He's so amazing. No wonder we love him Love the story about the gentle giant, but I hope this isn't what every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks they'll be doing each show  Thanks for your fantastic reports laydeez. Each night is so fresh considering how you've endured so many |

Oh WOW WOW WOW I'm like this right now, Damien was just so gorgeous last night  I don't want it to end. During the show Damien seperates the room in 2, we were Eric's team last night Team A and Team B was Damien's team, we all had to sing wa wawawawa, it was like a sing off, well team A kicked butt, it was so funny, and Eric was very happy saying he beat D again with his team. |

I just remebered too, Damien was saying that Eric had a photo shoot in the morning in his speedo's (this has been an ongoing giggle fest at each show)and that Indi would be the official photograper instead. He was giggling when he said something about seeing Eric in his "boodgie smugglers" |

WOW, this one tops Capers? How are you ladies even standing up or conscious? It sounds like an absolutely amazing gig!!!! What a way to end 5 days in a row. Fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful reports and for the set list. It sounds like Damien was so lovely to you guys at the signing too. What an absolute sweetie he is. So glad you all had such an amazing time. You will all probably sleep for the next few days till he comes back again!  Thanks again girls for the brilliant reports and pics. Can't wait to see the pics from tonight too!  |
