42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, you've got guys like David Copperfield look like

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: he's from there for a hundred.

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: Years, but making himself look younger by the night.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: But Keith. We're watching Adele at the moment and the

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: stage show is unbelievable. Do you have anything special there

47
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: for the fans that go to go to that special gig?

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Yes, we do, And I brought in a new designer

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: for this particular show we're going to do, so we've

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: really got some I think some really really cool ideas

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: on how to make a show as well, because it's

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: not just you know, you're not just playing a gig.

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: You've got to put on a show, but it's got

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: to stay treated who I am and what I do.

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, I come from playing the clubs, and I

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: think part of what made our residency when we were

57
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: there different in some ways is that even though we're

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: playing this big room that Elton plays in and everybody

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: was playing and we were still and then my attitude

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: is like I'm playing it like it's a big art

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: pub kind of the way I do it. And I

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: think that spirit is going to stay there no matter

63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: what we do with production.

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: Well, we we're talking about coming over to say a

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: residency show Tommy in Vegas, bring the whole show? Can

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,120
