Huh......intrigued by the Vegas date.  I'm a casual fan, and have never seen them.  I was very, very impressed with them on the RnR HOF ceremony a few months ago.  I said the wife, "man, Simon LeBon's voice has not changed!"  He sounded great and the band as well.

Inchoate: ooooh, that's great to hear. I think I might have to get tix for this tour if they're still bringing it.

yeah check that link brotherman posted above, re 2022 ACL.  Tell me Simon's voice has changed.

drewogatory: They are surprisingly good live and if your date is the right age a guaranteed panty dropper.

ha.  weife, who's seen Michael Buble like, 4 times, each time gushing, "OMG you would totally love him, I have to take you sometime!"  I finally went a few months ago.  He was fantastic, truly.  I'd go again.  Incredible performer.

Anyways, to your point, towards the end of the show he goes, "alright, how many of you, is this the first time seeing me?  how many of you are here because your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, partner, whatever, has been begging you to come?"  (thousands of cheers, me included.)

"Well.......tonight, all of you first timers, I'm pretty damn sure you're gonna get, uh, 'rewarrrrrrrrrded' tonight.  I may be putting air in the tires of love, but, you got to ride that bike home, if you catch my drift.  Fellas, ladies, SOs, all you first timers....when you're making sweet sweet love tonight, just say, 'thank you, Mikey!'

bet your ass i got 'rewarded' that night.  Thanks, Mikey!
