Was there anything from ABB played last year?? I cant recall. I saw them play SOL in AC in 06...it sounded really tight. I think I recall Charlie saying he enjoys it when they play it... gives him a bit of a breather and he enjoys the crowd sing-a-long

Thanks for these great updates. I hope they really bring some of these songs to life and not just tease us mercilessly with the rehearsals.

How right does it look to see him Wow!

with the band on a regular basis. I just wish they would give us what we all want and make it a three guitar band. He could add so much magic to songs like Far Away Eyes and countless others that he never played on.

Re. the lyrical climax of 'Streets Of Love'...
it's questionable whether one could be drenched in tears, strictly speaking. A love letter, or perhaps the eye-balls, could be drenched.

Does anyone have figures on on how long, and moistly, one would have weep, in order to become literally drenched in tears?

Apologies. But I'd be interested if anyone has precise stats on how many hundreds of pedestrian weepers it would take to moisturise pavements to the extent that they can be rightly described as drenched.
Is it possible that some folk in the song are simply urinating in their trousers?
Or perhaps the lyric is misreported and Michael, describing the streets of Richmond on a Friday night, was simply crooning 'drenched with beers'.

Just about a half-dozen or so set list crybabies and you could have a tsunami.

Unfortunately, I might be included with those. taylor made smile
