thanks for adding, not as good as the Hollywood bowl version, but Michael owns this song.

That pianist was on crack that night. I've never heard it so quick.

Yea... not as good as Hollywood Bowl... I think Eric does the main part best when on stage (though Mike's original sketch of it is best)

And the timing was off and to fast lol

But Mike is adorable... and the all are... and the german version of this song has been stuck in my head for days even though i don't speak german lol

(I think it was the trousers!)

I've been waiting for this clip for so long and now, when I've already seen Pleasure At Her Majesty's, it's here, haha. Very nice performance, Mike's voice isn't as great as Eric's, but I still prefer his lumberjack versions, although The Hollywood Bowl one is fantastic too! Thanks for uploading
