I would like to add to some of the comments about audience behaviour which had a few posts on this thread. At the recent Liverpool concert I believe that the people around where I was sitting got it about right. Most would stand up and cheer at the end of a particular favourite but would be seated again by the opening chords of the next number. I can understand extra enthusiasm being generated by a number such as "Closing Time " towards the end of the night. Certainly, when played at Liverpool, there was a little more singing along by some members of the audience but this did not really detract from my enjoyment. Other songs, quite rightly, induced a much more respectful silence (well awe actually). Obviously shouting out at innapropriate times is never acceptable, nor heckling and hopefully this was not experienced by too many of you.
The most I have experienced the crowd "joining in" was at the open air venue in Dublin last year with people literally dancing in the aisles to some numbers. Nevertheless, perhaps due to being outdoors, it somehow remained unobtrusive and it was probably the most fantastic atmosphere of any concert I have attended. Anyway your positive comments seem to outweigh some slightly negative experiences so it sounds like the Belfast gig would probably rank amongst the best on this current tour. So I am sure you will all cherish your own personal memories of what seems like an incredible night. Congratulations Belfast
