So mcbusted kicked off their tour last night, although did a fairly disappointing 17 songs. 10 busted, 6 mcfly and a cover of 'I want you back'. TBH, I think they have missed out quite a few popular songs.....anyway this is the setlist. ...

Makes sense... it does seem very odd that Busted would have 10 songs but McFly only have 6!
They should get rid of Nerdy and Britney and add a couple more McFly songs.
Saw the intro on youtube and loved that they used a

Absolutely brilliant show. Only complaint would be too few McFly songs but they obviously know that this is a nostalgia tour for Busted fans so sticking to the early hits. The UFO section is mesmerising. It was literally at our block. Best seats in the house if you can get them!
I thought it was quite short but the great thing about the show is that there is never a dull moment. It is a full on high octane show for the full 100mins. The only song that wasn't met with rapturous applause was 'Nerdy' but as they performed it on the UFO, the crowd's energy and enthusiasm didn't let up. The only thing that could be added is more McFly songs. An extra three songs ('One for the Radio', 'That Girl' and 'Transylvania' would fit well within the context of the show) would probably round both the show up to 2hrs and the setlist to 20 songs.
I wouldn't say they overuse the video montages. I'd say the show is split into four different sections and there's a video montage before each one. The intro is only a 2min VT of the Busted boys saying they need to infiltrate McFly in order to join them and need to travel 'back to the future' to do so. The second is in the form of a breaking news report to introduce the UFO segment and lasts for about 5mins (mainly because the band need to get to the UFO on the other side of the arena. The third is also about 5mins long (as the band need to travel back from the UFO). The final one takes place before the encore and features the Busted boys putting their own spin on one of the defining McFly moments. They don't overuse them in any way. I've been to shows in the last year where video interludes took place after every few songs. The band need these moments to change instruments or for set pieces to be put in place.
I think the reason 3AM has been left out is because Charlie did the majority of the vocals on it. It's the one popular Busted song that comes to mind which heavily features him.
They really shocked me - I enjoyed it from start to finish! Agreed, the set list needs more McFly songs, but over all was really energetic and fun.
I'm on the side of the fence that doesn't want a McBusted album, and just wants McFly back with Album 6, and a non arena tour - thats how they perform best.
McBusted is bait of fun and has taken off much better than anyone could have expected, but it's time to go back to what make McFly special
