Awards last year and two major shows back in April, it seems that Pink just can't keep away from the Echo Arena. And, judging by last night's concert, a late addition to her Funhouse tour after the first two dates were a swift sell-out, she'd be welcomed back to the city in a second.

But an acoustic, pareddown set, performed at the end of the catwalk stage while technicians hurriedly swept away the explosion of feathers from So What, was an interesting contrast. The ballad I Don't Believe You demonstrated the versatility of her voice, which moved from bold, almost jeering, to deeply soulful.
