I travelled from Ireland! Husband said he'd come too (once I told him we could visit Cornwall in the same trip!) - I'm just back from our the UK now, and this is the first time I'm getting to read comments about the show.
I can say quite categorically that the concert in London was the best I've ever been to in my life! I'm afraid I was 50 last year, so I've been around the block a bit! Some of the acts I've seen in concert are Elton John, Eurhythmics, Rod Stewart, Justin Timberlake, Boyzone, Westlife, and U2 - but nothing topped Thursday night!
I really hope you get to see Joe live - obviously I knew he was a supremely talented singer, a lovely person, and an accomplished performer - but the there was so much more to Thursday night! Such energy, such an atmosphere - the only thing that came anyway near to it was when I went to 'We Will Rock You' in London a few years back, but honestly, I shall remember September 20th 2012 forever!
I am a Joe fan - but not a fanatic, if you know what I mean. I expected the concert to be good, but if it was 'great', I'd say so. If it was 'good', I'd say so - but truly, it was PHENOMENAL.
