Were any of you able to come across lyrics for Forever Now?
It's sometimes hard to hear what Mark and Mike are singing...  I
wonder why they didn't include lyrics with the album... (the album I
have is an import from the UK)

Thanks in advance,
Augustin

Subject: The last concert!

I was at the Albert Hall gig on Friday, here is a quick rundown...

The Albert Hall is an interesting venue, it is shaped like a drum. There is
is a flat floor area surrounded by a about 20 rows of seats. The walls are
vertical and comprise of private boxes. At the top (at least a 100 feet up)
is another circle of seats. At the very top is a standing only area.     

The stage was nothing special, Mike was on a raised podium to the left with
his keyboards, the drummer (who was the drummer?) at the back and the two
guys in the horn section at the rear right. Mark and Jacko were in the flat
in the front center and right. The lighting was pretty standard, lots of
Vari-lights arranged around a hexagonal screen at a 45 degree angle.

At 7.30 the support band came on (I only caught part of their name, "Skinny"
something...), they were quite good.

It was about 8.45 when the house lights went down and the intro music started,
Mark had his bass with the LED's on the neck. A big cheer went up and the whole
of the floor area audience stood up (and never sat down again for the the
whole gig!). Here is the song list:

	Hot Water
	Forever Now
	The Sun Goes Down
	Mr Pink
	One In A Millon
	World Machine
	Model Friend
	Kansas City Milkman
	Heaven In My Hands
	It's Over
	Love In A Peaceful World
	Running In The Family
	Lessons In Love
	Something About You
	     -------
	All Over You
	Chinese Way

The setlist is different to the one posted for the Brighton gig. It sounded
like they were going to play "Love Games" as the first encore number but after
a few bars Mark went into a bass frenzy and it changed to "All Over You".

Mark didn't say a whole lot between numbers, just the usual things ("Hello 
London"....). The only mention that this was the last gig was when he said 
something like "thanks for coming to say goodbye to us". 

I was hoping that the gig would have been filmed but there was no evidence of
this. I did notice that they had microphones to pick up the audience, they
may have been taping the concert.

At the end the guys went off in a line, heads bowed. 

All in all a great concert, I wish they had played a few numbers ("Love games,
"42" etc) but I have no complaints.
