The RAH gig was absolutely brilliant, the greatest hits set rocked from Rescue, All that Jazz, Stormy Weather, Nothing lasts forever, Lips like Sugar, Never Stop, Dancing Hoses, Villiers Terace, Zimbo, Back of love, The cutter with Macs voice in superb form.
After a half hour break the band returned dressed in suits (apart from Mac who wore his old long black coat) in front of the orchestra to blow us away from the orchestral opening of Silver through to an emotional Ocean rain dedicated to Pete.
Ocean rain has always been a great album but to me this was how it was always meant to sound and was stunning, simply stunning.
The boys had obviously put a lot of work into these gigs and it shone through, Wills guitar was sublime and Macs voice was the best I have heard it, rarely going for the lower octave and giving it his all.

Based on the second review I guess Les is dead.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
