The hum of expectation vibrating about Liverpool’s waterfront was telling of the growing sense of anticipation that surrounded the return of the country’s most prevalent rock band to the city’s Echo Arena. Arctic Monkeys’ latest offering AM has garnished praise as possibly the band’s best collection of songs to date and fans were not left disappointed as the Sheffield act treated their followers to a gig as tempestuous and pulsating as the stormy autumn weather that preceded it.

Towards the end of The Who’s impressive, even epic set, there was a small message that blinked into existence for just the briefest of seconds which uttered the instruction, “Keep rocking, Liverpool’, in truth this is a city that doesn’t need telling twice but as instructions go it was up there with the best of them.
