Fantastic gig same set list as Liverpool most of the audience were on their feet for the whole gig including me, the band were excellent Jeff played and sang superbly.met Horace from the board and was very jealous of his fan club badge! Loads to buy I spent a cool £100 . Jeff was fairly quiet but he let his amazing songs do the talking or should I say singing

I agree it was a really wonderful concert. I loved hearing Secret Messages, but the highlight for me tonight was Wild West Hero. What a song! What a performance!
Jeff was fantastic as were the rest of the musicians, the light show was great too! Virtually everyone in the crowd had big smiles on their faces the whole night.
I've seen a lot of gigs over the years and this stands up as one of the best, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Good to see you yesterday starlight and the other guy and his wife who was a forum member but couldn't remember his login name. His wife said she might join as Evil woman I'll post our selfie and other photos to the forum this evening. I was amazed we were in a 10,000 seat arena and we all sat in the same row next to each other, it must be the power of the forum

did you notice if they went through a lot of merchandise? There was a hut outside which had long queues when I got a T Shirt and programme but they were also selling items in the venue which didn't have long queues. I noticed they had more choice of T Shirts at the stalls in the venue so do look around.

Bought a tee shirt each for me and the wife plus a programme, £65 in total. There was quite a bit more choice inside the venue compared to the van outside. I liked the look of the pin badges and mug but stopped myself spending any more money! Will probably spend a lot more when the reissued vinyl comes out.

good to meet you last night horacewimp. What great seats we had four from the front. Stepping out was the highlight for me and the wife (evil woman) lol. Was amazed at Jeff's vocals and that guitar playing on roll over Beethoven was unbelievable. Think we need to go to the Birmingham show now!

You took the words right out of my mouth :-) I would have said the same myself about Liverpool. This tour can only get better...
