They haven't played there in a decade, and they're old.
Why is any if this shocking to anyone?
Oh just slightly shocked as in "oh really? well who woulda thought..." - as opposed to "holy fucking shit WTF just happened..."
slightly...
Dropped to 19 on the uk mid week chart. Wow I knew it would drop but out the top 20 by the end of the week :-(
They better hope millions watch this BBC show next week
And the UK midweek charts are notoriously inaccurate, so it's probably worse that that, so you can maybe add about 8 to that #19.
Yeah, most people want the nostalgia of JT 2017 but not the current version of the band YET.. some of those same people are currently spending some seriously daft money on a ticket to a concert where they know they will hear/see about 60% of that gig featuring songs they don't own or clearly don't want.
As for the UK reaction? just anecdotal but I know and talk to several longterm UK based 1983 onwards "seen them several times and own everything" fans who are posting on FB just now who are really just not into this record one bit and have not spent their money on SOE or plan to go to the gigs.
