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

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.

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 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 !

Yesterday i was at oslo and i gotta say musically and performance-wise it was probably the best concert - i have seen 1-2 concert on every tour since 2008. The singin was really good i was surprised that he could still sing this good and not just mumble the words. Playing was good too, like it was 2008-2010 again.

For me having been to/Downloaded: Newcastle, London O2 & 2xRAH shows the 2nd night at the RAH WAS the best for us. The recording absolutely storms!! Hillfarmers Blues was exceptional that night and the recording reflects that.... :wave

Have just received my USB stick of the Glasgow show and have to say I'm a bit disappointed.... I attended the show which was great, I know the acoustics of the new Hydro venue aren't the best but the recorded mix really suffers from delays. I love the opening intro to broken bones but it is almost unlistenable due to the hi hat echoes, this is obviously overspill from the crowd mics, I just think for the money charged it's not really good enough......a quick re listen/mix before sending out might have addressed this, it sounded a lot better on the night, I might download RAH to see if it's any better......so far I think the Get Lucky tour had the best recordings

I think Pottel already posted about this sort of things.

You can contact them and gently explain them your issue. They have already remixed Manchester so they may take your though in consideration.

I would be curious to know how many tracks are used to record the shows  :think

If you download RAH, take the second night. The concert was way better. Don't know about the recording, didn't listen to them so far
