So if you plan to visit the O2, I can highly recommend it, but more on that in another post.<\/p>\n<p>After arriving at the B&#038;B we went to the venue to grab something to eat. We ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iguanas.co.uk\">Las Iguanas<\/a>, a South American style restaurant; it was very nice!<\/p>\n<p>In the concert arena we had seats very similar to those for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2007\/08\/28\/prince-21-nights-in-london\/\">Prince concert<\/a> last year, just on the other side. I was quite relieved as I feared that we would be up in the gods. The o2 has very steep seating, and being near the top could be almost unbearable. As it was we were only 3 rows in on the top tier, which actually gives a very good view of the stage.<\/p>\n<p>The show started at about 8pm. It was basically broke up into 8 acts with a stage theme to each, and a costume change between! Some of it was surreal, some of it was more than a tad camp&#8230; but all of it was pretty darned great! I enjoyed a few tracks that had much rockier tracks to them. I also enjoyed the video screens. They were actually worth watching because they would often show the whole stage from a higher angle and show what the all the dancers were doing in context.<\/p>\n<p>Had a fab time &#8211; really enjoyed it &#8211; well worth it!<\/p>\n<p>I think that this was pretty much the track list&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Act 1: Xlectro Static<br \/>\n* Speakerphone<br \/>\n* Boombox\/Can&#8217;t Get You Out Of My Head (Greg Kurstin Remix)<br \/>\n* Ruffle My Feathers<br \/>\n* In Your Eyes <\/p>\n<p>Act 2: Cheer Squad<br \/>\n* Heart Beat Rock<br \/>\n* Wow<br \/>\n* Shocked <\/p>\n<p>Act 3: Beach Party<br \/>\n* Loveboat<br \/>\n* Copacabana<br \/>\n* Spinning Around <\/p>\n<p>Act 4: Xposed<br \/>\n* Like a Drug<br \/>\n* Slow\/Free<br \/>\n* 2 Hearts <\/p>\n<p>Break <\/p>\n<p>Act 5: Naughty Manga Girl<br \/>\n* Sometime Samurai (video projection)<br \/>\n* Come Into My World (Fischerspooner Mix)<br \/>\n* Nu-di-ty<br \/>\n* Sensitized <\/p>\n<p>Act 6: Starry Nights<br \/>\n* Flower<br \/>\n* I Believe in You (ballad version) <\/p>\n<p>Act 7: Black versus White<br \/>\n* On A Night Like This<br \/>\n* Your Disco Needs You<br \/>\n* Kids<br \/>\n* Step Back In Time<br \/>\n* In My Arms <\/p>\n<p>Encore<br \/>\n* No More Rain<br \/>\n* The One (Freemasons Vocal Club Mix)<br \/>\n* Love At First Sight (Ruff &#038; Jam US Radio Mix)<br \/>\n* I Should Be So Lucky <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2008\/06\/12\/lost-highway\/\" title=\"Lost Highway\">Lost Highway<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/archives\/2011\/06\/01\/1009\/\" title=\"Directors Cut\">Directors Cut<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria and I went to watch Kylie at the O2 last night with Darren and Gail.
