yes 24 hr diem like the rest of us. He's 72 and still going strong and selling out such venues. Average age of crowd liked 60 -65 easy.

Bryan has been performing Re-make/Re-model seated at his piano since around 2013/14.... nothing new.

Oh dear! What has happened to his voice, his band and his wardrobe?
I'm very glad I didn't book any seats for any future shows.

I didn't want to be the first to but, I thought the same. Not so bothered about what his clothes cos he is always smart.
But the band, the sound and the voice was imo not good. Thin sound and the Roxy songs just don't sound right. I only watched 15 mins or so and switched off. OOTB, was a shadow of it's former self. Sorry

Sad to say but one must wonder how much is still left in the tank.
I went to see 3 shows last year(Boston, Upstate NY, and Vegas) thinking it might be the last USA tour. While still a enjoyable night, it clearly becomes obvious that we are near the "End of The Line". The voice is shot, the energy level on low, etc. Still looks great for his age, one can only hope to be close. Now I read the Europe tour comments and see some pretty dim reactions. Slimmed down band, same set-list except for BitterSweet and Mamouna in, BQ and Take a Chance out, no new material in years... Is this simply a money grab ?
The one thing current tour goers can see is Spedding on lead,I have not seen him in that role in over 25 years. Always in the shadows of Ollie, Quist, etc.

You're wrong mate, Bryan never sang R/R on a stool. Until now. The decline is undeniable...

There's no today for us nothing is there
For us to share but yesterday

Dear fellow vrmers
This is what I saw irsnsho:
Exquisite musicianship
Wonderfully dark and uncompromising setlist.
Jorja superb
Spedding as solo guitarist was fab. Way to go!
Mamouna best ever
More than this superb
Vocal from bry ok...at least not worse than t minus 5 years
Bf’s wardrobe: ok...but he’s no longer stick thin. Paunch noted. But, hey, stick thin at 72 ain’t healthy, right?

In this broad church, I’m happy and looking forward to seeing him 3 times in the upcoming weeks, one of which will be with orchestral backing. Joy.
