Around the time of this gig, Bellamy would sing all of the lead chorus vocals for performances of The Small Print himself, unlike later gigs where Wolstenholme would take over during certain lines.

Bellamy balanced his guitar on his head after performing Blackout,[1] as seen at Glastonbury.

Bellamy omitted the words "scream and she'll shout" from Stockholm Syndrome,[1] instead opting to step away from the mic and pop an on stage balloon with his guitar.[1]

Speech

Assorted "Cheers!" and "Thank yous" throughout, sometimes in strangely hilarious voices with accompanying facial expressions (i.e. New Born, Blackout)

Bellamy introduced the song Butterflies & Hurricanes, "Gonna play another new song, if you haven't heard this song it's called 'Butterflies & Hurricanes'".

After returning to the stage for the encore, Bellamy responded to an unusually loud shout from one audience member with "Easy tiger!" followed by some indecipherable gibberish involving the word "fucking".

Bellamy introduced the song Blackout, "Cheers! Cheers... we'll play a new song, if you haven't heard this song yet... this song is called 'Blackout', and Chris is gonna play the keys... It's one for the lighters I think...".

Before the final song Bellamy announced "Thank you very much people of Manchester, you're the best! Thank you very much for coming this song is called Stockoooolm Syndroooome".
