26/01/03 - NORTH HARBOUR STADIUM, AUCKLAND Summary by Steven Stanley:
Bryan returns to Auckland to perform his first gig at the North Harbour Stadium. In previous years he had played at the MT Smart Stadium. Very weird layout which seems to be the standard for New Zealand gigs….like at the Christchurch gig this show is all seating :( Remind me not to see a show in New Zealand! (just joking but come on!). If anyone was at this gig then please feel free to write a decent review! Michael Schollum went and he took all of these excellent pictures. He even met BA at the show backstage. You can see more pictures on his website.

****During the support section of the gig a plane circled the stadium 5 times with this message on!

It was for someone called Sue Ranby...her boyfriend Mark was proposing to her...apparently the support acts were dedicating songs to them all day! She said 'yes' by the way!****
