I didn't know this before tonight, but Arctic Monkeys is an anagram of Sticky Romance. Excellent news :)

Without a doubt the best I've ever seen them play.
I don't know if its because it was "home" and not Manchester, where I ususally see them, but they all look really up for it. Completely different from the miserable bunch I'd watched on Johnathan Ross the night before. Alex was relatively chatty with the crowd ("Sheffield, You've been wonderful") but beyond that banter was, as usual, kept to a minimum and nothing was said about it being a "homecoming" That took nothing away from the night though. They started in a cloud of smoke with "Dance Little Liar" which I wouldn't have expected to work but it so did. From that they launched into Brianstorm and continued going right through their catalogue, leaving none of the three albums untouched, and adding one as yet unrecognisable B-side in for good measure. Gold confetti flew into the air during Secret Door which was absolutely brilliant, an awe inspiring moment.. They played all of my personal favourites, If You Were There Beware, Do Me A Favour, Still Take You Home,
They finished on 505, and Mardy Bum mixed in softly with Fluorescent Adolescent. It was special.
Best song.. either Pretty Visitors (even though I lost my blackberry in its first verse) or Secret Door.
I did have some top photos to put on because I was right on the barrier, but as mentioned, the blackberry escaped my trousers somewhere around "I'm willing to whine in co-operative time," I'm so gutted words cannot describe.

If anyone reading this has tickets for any of the rest of their shows this tour, you are in for a treat.
Enjoy yourselves

PS: Eagles of Death Metal were brilliant aswell. I'd never heard anything by them before tonight but I'm fully converted now.
