I don’t know if the fan base has actually changed that much, to me it’s pretty much the same as it was in the 90s, the only difference being that some of the stereotypical ‘sensitive’ Smiths type fans have burnt all their old records primarily so they could tell everyone about it on social media...

Ah right, fair enough, well I missed that. But then it goes back to my original caveat - even if there was, so what? There’s literally nothing wrong with it. The vibe of that show was one of joy among the crowd, there was nothing sinister about any of it.

No, it’s great. It’s like moody, atmospheric disco 😆
