Maybe the Boys are doing their best to get people sick and tired of hearing their hits in concert. Then, in another year or two, when they decide to go out on the road with a new show that consists of nothing but deep-dive album cuts, b-sides, and other relative obscurities, people will breathe a massive collective sigh of relief: "Thank GOD they're not playing any of their hits!"

I won’t spoil it for you by telling you how they came up with the idea for Domino dancing.

It's their Las Vegas residency, like a circus that always travels around the world and gives everyone their moneys worth. Why change the concept from now?

I tend to understand how touring a new album has limited appeal from a non-fan perspective but let's face it, PSB live has mostly been a stroll through the hits for many many years now.

I'd almost rather they do a Vegas residency actually.

It made my day to see him, I have a suspected abcess and yesterday I lost a signed biography of Oscar Wilde. I'd been feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Oh, ya just casually tossed THAT in there, didn't you, Sandy! Funny, I read that way too fast and thought it was NEIL who said "I suppose I'll have to attend Lytham". Well, I hope you (and he!) make it! Are you going to dust off the spangly shirt again?
