Another top performance in Manchester, bit of an oddly midpaced first half of the set (still with a lot of great songs that I was happy to see though), but the pace definitely picked up in the second half, especially in the encores. And finally, on my third time of seeing the band live, they finally played Black for me And I was transported into a world of sheer delight, especially when Eddie adlibbed the "Did we belong together" part at the end, with the entire crowd singing the outro. Magical.

As a whole show I'm not sure it quite beat London 2007, which is currently my favourite gig ever, but still damn good. Here's hoping they come back to Europe next year!
