Increasingly, I think it was a good tour by any standard. The "Vegas"-y backup support, while maybe excessive, allowed the band to touch every part of its catalog with ease. Could you imagine them trying "2,000 Light Years" with today's lineup?

Amazing. My hunch is they're teeing it up for the UK shows and I won't be lucky enough to hear it in D.C.

he also finally mastered the art of consistently singing into the mic by that tour having eventually realised how essential it was when he had to front his own band!
