How can you settle at work when you have just had the experience of a lifetime ... and in a couple of days are going to relive it?

New venue, new challenge .... anyone at Manchester will know what I mean! However, a couple of security guys were really good, shame it was not so inside. Though this was my third concert I was still nervous all day, even more so knowing what a great show we were in for.

The atmosphere was euphoric but it seemed very odd with no-one behind the stage.

Bono's voice was amazing, more soulful, raw, emotional than ever before. Edge, Adam and Larry were all on form and sizzled through another blistering show.

Tonight, had the added surprise of Paul McGuinnes at arms length! When Edge left his mike stand and came to the front he was so close I could tie his laces together! To see him play so close up was phonemonal, all the hard work, soaking, and panic were well worth it.

Amongst my favourites Gone, Bad, 40, Stuck in a Moment, In a Little While - I would never believe they were on the same set list if I had not been there. In particular Gone and Bad, mind blowing.

Before we knew it , the guys were walking round the Heart, smiling and nodding at as many people as they possibly could, and you could believe that they wanted to stay longer.

Amazing, amazing, amazing ringing in all our ears as we boarded the tubes. I wonder what other passengers thought of us all with multiple wrist bands and identical glazed, euphoric expessions?! Nodding at each other with telepathic understanding, I learnt that some things do not need to be expressed.

Another out-of-this-world exprience.

Thank you guys.
