I'm a trained professional singer and often look at youtube vids of singers performing songs live that were at the top of their vocal range 30, 40 or 50 years ago. 9/10 times the song will be downtuned by up to 3 tones (Bon Jovi, Coverdale, Morrissey), they'll get the audience to sing (Boy George, 1000s others), they'll 'clip' notes (Adelle, Le Bon) or they'll talk the lyric (Debbie Harry, Sinatra). Just seen Sparks doing "This Town" in original key and Russell hits every note with ease 50 years later. It's incredible

when you think how old this track is and it still sounds amazing and the boys are still ripping it- love Sparks!!! Total Legends!!

Absolutely legend - and superbly performed..! Hard to comprehend how they pull this off at their age. Not to forget that they keep pumping fantastic and innovative music out - and have done so for the last 50 years..! LONG LIVE SPARKS...!!! ✌

I bought this in 74 and almost 50 years later its still the dogs bollocks. Stonking.

Always a great night with Sparks . Need a dvd next . Thanks for a great show .

A Timeless masterpiece by the brilliant Sparks ! Long may they Rock.

Awesome, 50 yrs later and singing in the same key !

His keyboard-playing, song writing brother refused to change the key/ his exact words- "The song was written in A and by God- it will be played in A/ I won't change it just for some singer"(his own brother) Always made me chuckle !!!###
