I have a strong feelin that will be the high point for me when I see them. Brought a tear to my eye that did.
Does anyone know who the person is at the back of the stage with the guitar?
Can see in this clip on the left of the backing singers
Might be a guitar tech for Mike and Daryl. It looks like there is a rack of guitars next to him.

That could be it.
I know it was mentioned somewhere earlier that in the programme they also list a third guitarist.
The problem with the segue between fading Lights and Cinema Show is that it feels like a bad edit: there is no transition into it, just BANG. In my opinion, it felt clumsy.
There are other new 'junctions' between songs: only short musical phrases, but some are quite interesting.
Yes, I agree this did seem a little sudden. Also disappointing not to have the Fading Lights instrumental too, but if you have to replace it with anything, I guess Cinema Show is a good option.
I thought a full version of Fading Lights would have worked well as a finale, given the theme of the song. Mind you, I might have dissolved into a tearful mess had they done that. 
That could be it.

Anthony Drennan is listed as guitar and bass in the programme. I heard from somewhere else he might be a stand-in for Daryl?

Almost certainly a guitar tech as he seemed to be tuning one of the guitars in the early part of the clip. He's looking down at a tuner, more than likely.
in the line now
Bit of a disaster in the hotel bar but shit happens
If anyone is going tonight and recording videos, please record and show clips that haven't been seen as yet, a lot of people posted the same songs and parts, so woul dbe nice to see other songs and sections etc
The programme lists Anthony Drennan as a member of the band - I think I read that unfortunately Daryl's wife isn't very well so is AD on standby in case he's not available for any of the shows
Daryl's wife has been battling breast cancer.
Daryl went with Michaela to her treatments at Aurora Cancer Care in Grafton. But about five weeks into her therapy, he had to leave for a world tour. Knowing she was in such incredible hands made it easier for Daryl to leave, “I almost didn’t go, but everyone there was so comforting and so personable. It helped to keep you out of the dark places.”
Coming back to the setlist, I really wonder why they kept Throwing It All Away, Tonight and Invisible Touch...
Phil played 2 of these songs on his solo tour, exactly the same way.
And TTT does not have any purpose played that way, I think.
I know IT is "the big hit", so it's complicated to do without it. But you know...
2 songs from IT is enough - but essential ! - for me (and these two songs, LOC and Domino are the basis of the show in a way).
I would have left room for other songs (From Trick...).
I really like Carpet Crawlers (personal favorite), but I would have preferred a more energetic closing. They did it in 1998 and 2007, so it would have been a nice change. Musical Box in E or D Major could have worked, I think.
Anyway...(
) what a great show it seemed to be !

TTT has to stay in, but yeah, I can happily do with IT and would have liked Abacab to have been in the set personally.
it's not worth queing for a pint with the length of the lines tonight but have a brilliant view and hopefully my bladder lasts out ha
"Duchess" sounds really powerful.
Was just thinking how two of my favorite bands - Genesis and the Rolling Stones - played their first of very significant and heavily scrutinized shows of their twilight years last night. Not sure who made out better.
It’s such a disappointment that they’re not playing Tonight, Tonight, Tonight in full. Surely there isn’t a single fan who prefers it this way?
I'm sorry but I just can't stop comparing 2 "recent" versions of DOWTMK, the one form last night and this one from 5 years ago:

I think Genesis made out better.
I watched a few of the clips from the Stones' Gillette Stadium show, and I don't think Steve Jordan is a good fit at all. It sounded very jarring to me. They don't sound like the Stones.

I prefer the long version of course. But the shorter version allows for additional song(s), so I'm not too bothered.
I still say that Tonight, Tonight, Tonight would have made a great opening song, instead of Duke's Intro/Turn It On Again for the 2nd tour in a row. TTT would have been been nice moody intro to the show... set the atmosphere.

I’ve only seen the last few tours and they seem to swap between ‘dark and moody’ intros, like Mama, and ‘bright and confident’ starters like Abacab or the Duke suite. Like you, I think I prefer a moody start. Going back, historically they’d start with numbers like Watcher or Squonk, so there doesn’t seem to be a pattern.
I wonder what thinking goes on when they’re planning the order?

Don't get me wrong. I like Duke's Intro/Turn It On Again as an intro. But it's a new tour, so why not try something else in that slot? Same goes for ending with Carpet Crawlers.
Any word yet if Jesus He Knows Me and/or Hold On My Heart have been restored? Or same as yesterday?
