Speaking with Clash, Sir Tom said: “There’s different things that can happen, and that comes from the audience. You sing a song, and the reaction is different one night compared to another night. And you feel differently.
“There’s a live thing that happens that you can’t get on record. It’s a thing that happens there. It’s in the air sometimes! You’ll think. ‘What the f happened here tonight?!’, especially at an open air gig.
“You think, ‘Something must be in the air because this has really taken off!’ And it’s the audience that does that. And collectively they become a thing unto themselves. And that only happens when you’re live. That’s what any entertainer will tell you.”
