I was lucky enough to see them in the early days - 1983 and 1984 - when they were young, hungry and I believed in them. They were slack and sloppy, and I remember Bruce making a mistake, introducing the next song, only for 'Arry to come and tap him on the shoulder and whisper in his ear. Bruce burst out laughing and said 'well, we will do that song after this one'!
When I saw them in 1998, it was a totally different machine - slick, well polished, professional and (dare I say) boring. It was like a band going thru the motions
