I've not seen him perform live for yonks. And, let's face it live appearances have been a bit thin on the ground, of late. He's had a bit of bad luck with those that he has arranged, on top of it all. The big shindig on the South Bank being pulled at the last minute - and of course there was those other dates that I've already mentioned, that fell into disarray.
The unplugged outdoor 'Black Sheep' tour of monuments, however, was a fantastic idea - AND DID WORK. I've seen lots of footage by friends and fans online. Hats off! But many of us couldn't get to a lot of the locations as it occured during working hours and most of us had little idea of the band's ETA at most sites.
Let's not forget, however, that his recorded output is at a prolific all time high!
