I was at Manchester and for me it was Tyler doing the encore especially the Robert Plant impersonation - excellent stuff
The whole show was fantastic as usual - hopefully the guys will be back soon My daughter was gutted that she couldn't make a gig

Everything about the London show was perfect from the venue, to the other fans, to proving there is life beyond SP, to meeting the gent that is Ed outside the Indig02

Easily Ed singing blue meringue and giving me a knowing look, not only the coolest point of this tour but in 12 years of gigs!
After so long away I always think maybe this time I'll have moved on but I never have...love it!

The guys are on top form.The highlight for me was from the Edinburgh show when Ed wished me happy birthday while Boothby Graffoe (guesting on Yoko Ono) jumped off stage to give me a big manly kiss - bizarre but worth it!

Alchol encore and the melody to finish the show at Manchester. Amazing

When Ed sang Am I The Only One for me at Birmingham. Never thought he'd dedicate it to me - was absolutely amazing. Cried my eyes out when he sang it.
Boothby sang Jeffrey's Song for me that night, too.
I think it possibly even beat the time I won a private sound check and meeting with them in 2007
I've since discovered this was only the 5th time they have EVER played AITOO live (and it was released 19 years ago) - which makes it even more special.

That was my highlight too... thanks a million for requesting it. It's amazing that its hardly ever been played. Hopefully they'll revive it now... and people will record it. Back to getting my live fix from youtube  |

Back to getting my live fix from youtube When I told others that Ed had said he'd play it, folk were really excited at the prospect. I also got a lot of feedback from others after the show who'd been really moved by the performance. I would love to think the reaction might encourage them to play it more often. I know the shows are naturally dominated by the upbeat songs to get the crowd rocking, but I think that makes it all the more special when they puntuate the concert with something quite emotional. I have seen them perform Moonstone once, which was very moving, but I understand why Ed finds it a hard song to sing. I have always adored Am I The Only One? - to the point that I feel like I've never not known it. To have Ed sing it for me was unbelievable. I've been on a high ever since (and I'm insisting on telling the story and showing the video to EVERYONE I see) |

I loved AITOO at Birmingham. And Boothby doing Yoko Ono was pretty hilarious. We went to both the London & Birmingham shows this tour, and had VIP at Birmingham. Best part was speaking to Kevin. He understands why we wear wimples  |

As per normal, there where so many awesome moments it's hard to pick. Though if I had to.. (in no particular order)
1) Jim playing 'Another One Bites The Dust' on his bass solo in London.
2) Seeing 'Am I The Only One' live in Birmingham.
3) Just having the chance to see them perform again!
