Current O2 shows, a relaxed, happy, fun band
 

Hello out there!

I haven't been to a show yet I'm going on 26th but have been keeping a very close eye. From review, photos etc it seems the band have totally lightened up and even Jon is looking far less serious and relaxing into the shows. :) Jon just seems so much more interactive and jokey with the crowd.

I guess staying in a plush hotel not having to travel every night makes a monumental difference. The photos I've seen could have been taken 20 years ago in my opinion - apart from the gentle ageing of course!

Would you say that's a fair observation? It's certainly done them good.

I'm just writing my review of 25th, and one of the things I've said is that the lack of travel is paying dividends.
They don't have to deal with the stress of meeting travel deadlines or the lack of sleep etc.
