I wasn't looking forward to the Weds night if I'm being honest, because I thought he struggled at RAH and hid behind the band and backing singers, but I was genuinely taken aback at Wembley by how good he sounded. He struggled on BAAB and YTTW imo, because, as always, he struggles with his timing (i.e. dragging on words for longer than he should). I honestly thought he was great last week.

Amen to that. The band, as alway, were brilliant. The 'banter' was hammy, as always, but OK. The alcohol was expensive and didn't seem to have much of an effect - not good. That said though I let my mate buy several turbo shandies (half lager/half smirnoff ice).

As you previously said, you take the concert as a whole. It's a show. It's more than his voice. As I said before I went in, I didn't pay to see Meat sing per se, I paid to see some of my favourite ever songs sung by the artist that, on the whole, the songs were written for.
