Yes, if you're to be believed, indeed you are. I'm going to see them at the O2 on 22nd. Not really much else to say at this stage.....

I'm going to see them in Glasgow too tonight (I read that their SCD appearance is pre-recorded!) and there is no support tonight, so I imagine it will be the same at MEN.

Went to the O2 last night, absolutely brilliant! Tony Hadley's voice is as strong as ever, they all sounded great and looked fantastic - I swear Steve Norman has a painting hidden in the attic, he hasn't aged a day. And it seemed as if they enjoyed it as much as the audience - which itself was having fun all the way through, but to me didn't really come alive until Through The Barricades. From then on the energy just built and built, finishing with Fight for Ourselves and Gold, and everyone was up and dancing.

And great news! They recorded the concert for a DVD release at the end of November.

I was at Glasgow on saturday and they were brilliant.

What a fantastic concert. And they all looked to be really enjoying themselves.

Hi,

We are all SO looking forward to seeing the boys at the O2 tonight (Weds) ... interested to hear from anyone who went last night to the London 02?

Saw them at the O2 last night. They were excellent. I was never a huge fan of theirs in the 80s but they proved they could still do it and had all the energy and enthusiasm you could have hoped for. Tony Hadley's voice was still spot on. And he said at the end "We'll be back".

I'm thinking of starting a campaign for Spandau Ballet to open the Olympic Games 2012 by playing GOLD
What do you think?
Not that I have alot of free time to run a campaign!!!
