I know its a bit of a 1st World issue but I went to see Chris Rea last night in Manchester and having paid £53 each for tickets he did his show then an encore but as it was December we thought he would at least play his Christmas hit "Driving home for Christmas" but oh no. Not a peep.

The whole crowd seemed dissapointed, let down. Yes he may be famous but I thought the reason for his show was to please the crowds who had spent a lot of money on tickets, drinke, transport etc.

He was awful anyway with no personality and did not interact with the audience at all. A prima donna it would seem, just there for his own ego.

Rant over.

I really am not sure why the TALENT can play what they like.
They are being paid to do what the employers want(The public), try it at work just doing what ever you want. It usually ends badly.

Not everyone is a hardcore fan and they do want to hear the hits and highlights.
Just my view.
