This was the best concert I've been to. Bob Geldof 's vocals and music was amazing and his musicians fantastic. Plenty of audience participation and humour. Would love to see the show again!

The last time, before this concert, that I saw Bob in concert was in 1982 at Portsmouth University, where together with the Boomtown Rats and wearing a faded, too many times washed outfit of black tee shirt and jeans, he was outstanding. Banana Republic had just been released to screams of outrage in Ireland and Band Aid was a thing of the future. The crowd was wildly enthusiastic and there was hardly room to breathe.
As a catholic convent educated 6ft redhead it was the first time I had really let myself get carried away, to the extent that he inv]ited me onto the stage to dance, but I was too self concious to accept.
This time round things were definately more subdued. The crowd did not fill the hall and the age group was varied with a slant towards people of my generation. Many people wore suits or posh frocks and the likelihood of the frenzy of 1982 being revisited was slim.
Bob had, unsurpisingly, grown up. He wore a suit and his hair was combed.
The depth of the musical skill shown by himself and his backing team was way in advance of his youth and the music which he has done since BTR was polished and foot tapping as opposed to edgy and clever.
The gig was intimate and nostalgic as well as a showcase for his current music and it wasn't long before his sheer enthusiasm had just about everyone jumping and joining in regardless of age.
Where he really shone for the likes of me was when he played some of the BTR songs and how his comments, stories and slightly self deprecating humour between the songs left me with a sense of being shown a window onto his life.
If you weren't a fan before going you would be after.
Sadly, now that I am older, wiser,less self concious and definately inclined to accept, there was no invite for me to get up on stage.

Well worth seeing, talented performer who sang with meaning and still has a passion for delivering a 5 star concert.So good to see a singer enjoying himself on stage, would see him again and enjoyed new and old.Hard to believe 33 years ago the No1 hit Rat trap.

Given the fact that Geldof has achieved so much in his life, and is possibly better known to a large section of the population for his African endeavours than his music, it is sometimes easy to forget that first and foremost, he is a songwriter and a musician - and a very good one at that!
The set ranged from the early 'punk' (R&B) tunes such as 'Mary of the Fourth Form' through to tracks from the latest album, 'How to compose popular songs....' such as 'How I roll' which served to illustrate the extent of his musical development.
He displays an incredible amount of energy, passion and commitment which comes across in everything his does on stage. His artistry both as a musician and a performer was also clear to see as he worked the evening and the audience with a confident ease - choosing to ignore the early dancers in an all-seated venue but encouraging an audience only to ready to oblige to forsake their seats towards the end. After two encores, Geldof left the stage to loud applause with the audience baying for more.

Overall, a great evening in the presence of a real musician who doesn't get proper recognition for his considerable contribution to music over a long period of time. I can't think of many musicians from those heady 'punk' days who are still producing interesting music which people want to listen to.
As the man in front of me said on the way out 'tonight, we were in the presence of a genius'. I think the audience would agree - judging from his commentary over the evening, I know Geldof would!

What a fantastic night!!! Bob was his usual brilliant, amusing, sexy self and didn't disappoint one bit, didn't want it to end. The venue was great - although I would really prefer to be standing from the start as like to be moving around to the music and I think some people are a bit nervous of standing up in case they upset somebody!! Bob left his afterparty for a while and came into the bar to talk to us and let us take photos which was a perfect end to a great evening. THANK YOU BOB!!!!

Saw Bob Geldof on his recent tour (16/09/2011) at Southport Theatre and it was an amazing show. He has such talent and not just in music. He is very amusing and communicates so well with his audience. I saw him on his last tour and he was brilliant then. His voice is the same and reaches any note he has to. He is worth every penny and more; he gives his all (as does his Band). His show is a sell-out at the venue nearest to where I live hence going to Southport to see him. He is a "must see" and no-one should be disappointed
