As for Fran.....always did think he was a lovely guy but that opinion has been strengthened tonight.......the world needs more like him!"
Own support? What does that mean? Intriguing, please tell us more.
Was this as well as The Republic Tigers? What songs did they play, especially in the support slot?
Did anyone else go last night? |

I'm dreadful for remembering song titles so even worse to recall all of a setlist! But I can tell you that since the support act, The Republic Tigers, were detained at Gatwick because of a lack of work permits Travis were their own support act! Great for us the audience because we got so much more time with Travis on stage! In the support slot they played a lot of songs from the new album 'Ode to J Smith'....including Broken Mirror, Last Words and Song to Self if memory serves correctly. Don't think the rest of the tour will be quite as lucky for the audience as having the extra hour with Travis!
For the main part of the gig it was all my favourites, their best known hits....including All I want to do is rock, Tied to the 90s, Happy, Side, Driftwood, Flowers in the Window, Sing and Why does it always rain on me?......obviously more but hopefully someone else will recall the entire setlist.......! Oh and they played a very good B side....could well have been the B side to 'Ode to J Smith'.

Wow support and main feature! That sounds amazing! I'm sure anyone who went had a blast!
Anyone go to the gig and remember any merchandise they were selling?

:O !!!! That is amazing!!! I wonder how many songs they played total! I want to see a set list SO badly! And good question about the new merch...what do the T-shirts look like?!? Eee! I'm so geeked for this!!! :D
EDIT: Also, how did they open the show??? Did they play any special music or cut through the crowd? Or maybe they came out of the ceiling hanging from wires??? lol! Kidding. :)
