10:25pm - Local Time
Safe to say it's now over. LGR was probably played after Personal Jesus as seen in the video below. Here's a video posted by Trance Effect from their opening set.
9:54pm - Local Time
VIDEO - Hysteria. Same visuals but the lighting rig is not down like Vegas. As seen in the pics/videos so far a slightly scaled back version of the Vegas show. Vid posted 5 mins ago. So PSSOM may have just ended things by now.
9:46pm - Local Time
Rejoice, Animal, Personal Jesus, Just Like '73 and Love Bites have been played. Awaiting confirmation of others. And if the triangular lighting rig intro was used at the start. Hopefully more stuff to come - not long left if it isn't already over.
9:34pm - Local Time
VIDEO - Love Bites. Eventually we start to see the show!. And it looks and sounds like another great concert - as you would expect.
9:27pm - Local Time
VIDEO - Just Like '73 - yes, there is a show going on! - played 10 mins ago.
9:09pm - Local Time
Joe - "Thank you very much Shillong!. Are we OK out there? This is the first gig as I said on our tour...".
9:05pm - Local Time
And in the searching...eventually found something! Signs of life! - posted a while ago but now found! - Personal Jesus video and a pic.
9:02pm - Local Time
Looking through every location that people could be using and finding nothing. YouTube to the rescue hopefully later on!.
8:51pm - Local Time
If people are posting stuff...it's very well hidden!...here's some more pics of Trance Effect who opened the show.

8:30pm - Local Time
Still searching..still nothing.
8:15pm - Local Time
Def Leppard in India but not the footage we want...still searching for stuff. We'll assume they opened with Rejoice - it's also possible they didn't start bang on 8pm but hard to tell so far. Rejoice and Rock On were part of the soundcheck.
8:10pm - Local Time
The promoters IG stories might be our only hope of seeing/hearing stuff...here's a pic of Trance Effect who opened.
