Sheffield was better, he said. Musically, yes. There were times at the Roundhouse when I felt sorry for Bob because he seemed tired after Sheffield and the O2 and the band seemed unable to 'feed' off him or the audience and there weren't too many sparkling musical 'flights'. However this show was special in its own right because of its intimacy and humour. Bob shared a few jokes with us, non-verbal ones mainly. He really can be so genuinely charming, and he clearly gets a great kick out of his audience's enthusiasm.
