OK, so I was in the crowd for the Perth (WASO) performance last night. First time I've ever seen Ben on a proper piano stool and follow a proper pre-determined set list...mostly. I'll post the program setlist below. Only deviation was RTB after The Luckiest which went for aaaaaages with the orchestra so Gracie was missed. And he told us the Cigarette story again, said he wouldn't play it...then played it. Encore was Narcolepsy with full orchestra and tenor (which I will NEVER tire of seeing live) then Army just with Ben as 'the band have run out of stuff to play.'
RTB was with Orchestra and Ben asked for theatre management to provide the Wikipedia page for Perth before playing The Luckiest so he'd have it ready to use after it. 80% of the orchesra looked like they were having a blast and the other 20% were clearly unaware of the RTB protocols and had their best WTF faces on.
Top notch show. Can't wait to do it all again tonight.
