I took my GF to see the westlife farewell tour last night and whilst the stage production was good.
They could have played another 10songs or so if it wasnt for constant video packages, wardrobe changes, one of them talking for 5mins while the stage was altered etc.
Is this the norm at a pop concert?
Im used to seeing a band walk on stage and play non stop until they walk off for the encore, come back on and then off again!

you should count yourself lucky you heard less songs

Very true! haha
They spent half their time going on about how sad it was to be splitting up and leaving etc..... if it meant so much to them then surely they should keep going!

They will be back in ten years when they feel their wallets get a bit smaller!

I saw the Westlife tour and thought it was great. Yes there were stoppages but they were on stage a long time overall.
