I like the Manchester show.   Twenty songs, good versions of every song and all very well played!    :)

I attended 14 of the 17 shows so far.
My favorites:
1. Paris 2nd of June
2-5 (not able to say which one is the best out of these): Manchester, Zürich, RAH 2, Amsterdam

I listen to videos taken at the shows every day and for me the best shows appear to have been Milan and Nice.  You might want to check the set lists for things like KOG and/or Speedway having been dropped though at whichever ones you decide upon.

Just pick one, they're all the same.

thanks for your recommendations!
I already bought Paris 2nd June (because a friend of mine was there) and next will be Milano and then I wait til the tour is over and I hope you don't mind me asking the question again which shows you think were best ;-)

Stavanger is also a winner, the shortest concert of the tour, so it won´t take much time to listen, and also two "new" songs in the set...

Although I did not attend Manchester I kept it on my iPhone because of its unique sound. It has the best balance of instruments. It is most striking on HFB, on no other show I can hear Guy's synth as clearly as this one, this gives more emotion to the song !

I attended RAH*2, Paris*2 and Nice, and I have to say that Nice has an edge for me: best TR solo, best Sultans, original and great Speedway, amazing KOG, a must have ! Mark was most energetic that night !

Paris second night has the longest TR solo (but may not be the best).

There are all very good, base your choice on the set list and comments on specific songs like TR...

Maybe don't go for RAH1 and Paris2, a lot of people found them less good than alterate nights.

I like the RAH most. Seeing Mark  for the 9th time alredy in ´different venues´,I think Royal Albert Hall is the most enjoyable.:)

I had always dream to see the famous RAH so I went to both shows this year. I got somewhat disappointed with the venue. Smaller than i thought, not so great sound, disrespectful attendence. Good point, very friendly to go In and out, no red tape, no stupid security like in Paris Zenith !
