5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: the title of the tour come about?

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: Well, you know, over the last couple of years, just

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: we've been noticing their audiences getting younger. Yeah, yeah, so

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: obviously our parents are bringing their youngin's, but you know,

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: the next generation along and don't get the music spelling over,

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: So we kind of thought it might be an appetitle

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: rather than just called, you know, the next nine twenty seven.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: I've totally been part of this whole theory, going, you know,

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: with my now grown up nieces and so on to

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360

00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: look out and see that double generation enjoying it in

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: equal in equal measures?

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's to spin out, I have to say, you know,

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: fact that I'm talking to you thirty five years later

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,319

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: off live that you wouldn't have expected, you know, not

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: just after all these ears, because the songs have stood

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: the test of time. But is it one in a

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: live format? You go, oh, I wasn't expecting that kind

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,640
