What an amazing show. Take That asked Could it Be Magic, and it certainly was.

We were lucky enough to have great seats, even better than I'd expected when we were shown to them after a rather perilous descent into the arena down the stairs in the dark!

I'm not the biggest fan of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she did a good job of getting everyone warmed up and as a special Christmas touch included All I Want for Christmas is You, performed complete with a paper Christmas hat!

Then it was time for the main event. The lights went down, performers appeared on the second stage and I was torn trying to turn to watch them against keeping an eye on the main stage. Then up they popped from their boxes and Reach Out began! A great performance acting as politicians for the Take That party, and loved all the confetti streaming down over us at the end of the song.

This was followed by the lapdancing of It Only Takes a Minute, another great performance and Jason and Howard showed impressive flexibility on the poles!

Next came a batch of new songs - Beautiful World, Patience, Hold On and I'd Wait for Life, all wonderfully performed as ever. For I'd Wait for Life, Mark asked us all to hold up our mobile phones and look around the arena to see then, and sure enough the arena looked beautiful with all the lights sparkling.

Then a change of pace for Relight My Fire with a voodoo theme. Lots of heat from the flames and a great remix with Crazy, you wouldn't think it would work but it does! Loved the flaming body parts too.

After this, my new favourite Take That song, Rule the World. Having seen Stardust somehow makes it all the better, and they tied it in to the film by throwing the jewel into the sky before Take That appeared, in lovely long coats and boots and in clouds of dry ice. Green lasers lit up the arena, sparkling off the glitter ball above the second stage, as they made their way over the audience on the walkway, ending the song rotating around the second stage.

They followed up with a beautiful slowed down Could it Be Magic complete with swan dancers throwing confetti who appeared to be defying gravity remaining stood on the platform as it tilted.

On the second stage they revisited Take That and Party with a few lines of songs, before Jason said they had a surprise for us tonight. Sadly not Mark stripping as he first suggested, but for the first time on the BW tour they would perform A Million Love Songs with Beverley Knight as a special guest. Great to hear it, and to see Beverley again after she was so good on the last tour.

They finished off on the second stage with Back for Good (sung as much by the crowd as them!) and Everything Changes before heading off through the crowd for a molesting. Howard and Mark passed by us, sadly not quite close enough to touch! I thought poor Mark would never make it back he was getting so mobbed, and ended up with 2 hats!

Jason took to the stage alone for Wooden Boat, beautifully performed barefoot, before another change of pace with the thumping beat of Give Good Feeling as Howard DJed. Nice mix of the old and new! This then merged into Sure.

Next was Never Forget, a definite highlight with the very clever use of the walkway and the screen, as figures from the past went by them. It must take so much practice!

Not quite the end, we were then treated to an encore of Shine, and Silent Night to complete the Christmas feeling. Then into Pray complete with the classic dance that would look ridiculous performed by anyone but them!

I was all ready for them to say goodnight and go when we had another treat - as it was Manchester they were going to perform Mancunian Way, which they hadn't on the rest of the tour. Again, another fabulous song.

They left with Howard saying he'd see us on the next tour, what a promise! They said it was their 48th show, and they'd equaled their own record at the MEN of 10 consecutive nights that night. I think what really makes their shows so special is that they always look like they're having a fantastic time themselves and loving performing. I'm amazed at the sheer energy of it after all those shows!

So off we went back home (appropriately enough driving down Mancunian Way!), and here's to the next tour!
