Second best. When Mac wasn't too fucked up to perform. Which, tbf, came a bit later.

Might have been stood next to you 😉

Collectively and individually. Mel Gaynor And Forbes are an absolute powerhouse. A colossus. Charlie and Mick are just magical - absolutely sublime. And Berlin Jim has never sung better.
