Sainted Aunt.
This is from both WM and myself.
We're shattered. We just got back, changed out of our gladrags into our jammies and came here!!!!
First WM says "hello!!!" and misses you all like crazy.
Second Toonie says "Why do I have to do all the typing?"
WM "Because you're the one sitting on the computer chair"
Toonie "Oh yeah....."
Anyway...The concert was fabulous. Unfortunetly, there was no Rocky Mountain Way or All She Wants to Do is Dance, there were technical faults which took time to sort out and they were late coming on stage which meant time was short.
The suits were same as always, Joe had slicked hair (boo) which ended up floppy (yay). Glenn enjoyed a lot of banter with the audience, band members and backing band. Don was very charming and funny. Joe was his usual wonderful, crazy self. Timmy was generous to the audience as usual and looked fantastic, as did they all.
The sound didn't seem to great tonight, maybe it was where we were sitting, but a few of the songs sounded a little tinny and Boys of Summer sounded really fast. Their voices were top notch and the music was terrific. We especially enjoyed the little competition between Glenn and Joe before Funk 49. Joe would play a chord, Glenn would do the same one until Joe did something a little more extravagant and Glenn looked at the audience and said "huh" shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Glenn introduced the band (a little later then normal we thought), including himself and proceeded to explain to the audience that "in Detroit mother is half a word". Before Glenn had began to speak, Elsbeth predicted that he would say it. LOL!
We were amazed by the audience throughout the concert. A significant amount of them didn't make it back to their seats after the interval. Ten minutes into the the second half people were still coming in. A lot of people around us left during Heartache Tonight, although we didn't mind as it gave us more room to dance!
Sorry its a bit sketchy but we are quite tired, but felt we had to write something straight away! If we can think of anymore we'll write tomorrow.
One last amusing note before we go... on the tube home, a bloke sat opposite us and said he saw us at the concert. He said we looked like we having a great time and he wanted to join us for that reason so he could let loose. He said he was amazed we knew all the words and if we were real fans we should be waiting at the stage door for autographs. LOL.

and Don. The Detroit joke is hilarious!
) out there watching their every move, so the banter was kept to a minimum. More than that, though, the audience was reticent, and preferred to sit down, much to GA's and my discomfort. It was only during the last few songs (as I mentioned in my review) that they stood up. It's probably also for this reason that they didn't do much talking.
It was good natured, though.
. In addition to that, I cannot believe that people were going home halfway through "Heartache Tonight"! 
I can't remember if I mentioned this in my review, but two people who had FRONT ROW tickets, sitting almost directly in front of GA, Timtot and me, came in halfway through the second half of the show! What GA and I would have given for the tickets they had, and they didn't appreciate it!
