Could this be the first ever PSB gig without West End girls (excluding Battleship Potemkin)? 😮

Yes, but I'd like to hear the Joe Stalin verse :dance: :dance:

Do they dare do a Bobby O mix?

Could Neil ever again wear a shirt untucked below a sweater?

If they don’t do West End girls I’ll take back everything I’ve said about their concerts being lame for the last 10 years.

Guessing on whether it’s defined as a ā€˜fan favourite’.

I like Cricket Wife, and find it very moving to listen to. It skilfully articulates the confusion, anger and despair that must accompany dementia, and a profound need to retreat back into dreams of love and happiness.

Wouldn't want a live performance of it though, I agree!

It's in a league of its own and should stay there — i. e. on that obscure Annually CD. ;)

Surprising to see someone won’t be enjoying if they they played I didn’t get where I am today. 😳

* Screaming (acapella, no vocals, just the screaming parts)

ENCORE

* Absolutely Fabulous (without Neil or Chris, just Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders on stage)

The sound of the atom splitting was performed ā€œliveā€ during an ā€œintervalā€ in the 1989 concerts

It was bloody marvellous

For some reason, they put it on Highlights as the opening track
