flipnflap ,you must be crazy.
Lets get one thing clear I am a fan , but he is sensational.
We went to see him about 5 years ago ( a mixed group 2o to 60 ,male and female),I was very afraid that he would be a let down as even I admit he was past his prime.However , He sang for over 4 hours with a short break (about 20mins),no support group, he was better than I dreamed off a real performer ,he had the audience in the palm of his hand. He was THE best live act I have ever seen ,and I have seen quite a few ( I used to work for the presedent of the Albert Hall and got masses of free tickets for the president's box).Everyone in our group had a great time and we all thought he was amazing. Neil Diamond past it -noway.
