SinnerCity Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 18 hours ago, ithinkheknowsoutsold said: I do agree with this point. Live bands are essential to shows and while I can understand smaller artists with limited budgets forgoing them, an arena-level act like Girls Aloud definitely need to do better. It's unlikely, but I'm hoping subsequent shows do have a band and that the Dublin show is just a one-off. They had a live band for their last three shows so it's odd they wouldn't have one for this one considering the massive success but we'll see. I reckon the stage will look better in person and I really hope they add The Loving Kind cause there's no excuse to have Jump instead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only disappointment is honestly no live band, all stages look kinda awk at 3Arena (and the Hydro) ngl. Setlist would've been truly perfect if they could've squeezed Memory of You, Close to Love and Swinging London Town in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust any of the girls' opinions on their songs except Nadine's. Didn't they want Ugly Because You Hate Me as the lead single for Ten instead of Something New? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 They should at least put the loving kind in SOMEWHERE. Even in an extended interlude 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoAngelus Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Yeah The Loving Kind is not really needed, in the bigger picture it is forgotten single and song that didn't do anything artistically for them. It was just another Call The Shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyground13 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The opening act DJ had an excellent set. The entire arena chanting Whenever, Wherever into Britney's Stronger and Slave, followed by a couple of smashes including Hung Up X Houdini? My wig flew to Derry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadine was having NONE of that, neither wanting the split or her to not be in the single at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they were trying to recreate I'll Stand By You since BCYLM was a Children In Need single, but no one wanted that as a Girls Aloud comeback song. It seems like they didn't know what the fans wanted from them. Thank god Nadine intervened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyground13 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Jokes aside an AMAZING evening. Such a genuinely magical show - the references to Sarah were so bittersweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy_TyTy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 In another life, they broke through the Oceania market during their promo run during the Chemistry era and have announced Sydney dates!! I do think they could do a show here and sell out easily, maybe not area but haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attitude Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Maybe the stage is limited due to the arena? I'll wait until they're in a bigger space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrYorkshireFenty Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I don't get the cheap remarks. I wasn't expecting a Beyonce level production ( they have the make money with the tour split between 4 girls ). I'm just so happy they're back performing. I would watch them just sing on a basic platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 the set list looks amazing, On The Metro is my fav song of theirs so I won! I do wish they'd add The Loving Kind though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyground13 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I don't think it's low budget - the stage is great and makes it so so many fans get super close to them. They also fly and the dancers are excellent. It's also just a UK + Ireland tour so I wouldn't expect a huge amount of props. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livelikemusic Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 9 hours ago, Superbitch said: Why does it look So low budget? The stage is their biggest, in terms of construction; they usually have a mid-platform in the middle of the arena, but this time they had an expansive stage. And the screens are quite a substantial size. I wouldn't call this low budget at all. Their first two tours? Yes, those were low budget. But this one? No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
