'From the fan's perspective,' concludes Martin Shankleman, 'You probably get a better view of the show from a 3D film, than in a seat in row Z at some wretched arena, where you are so far away from the performers they are the size of a thimble.

'Oh, one other thing, the music's pretty good as well.'
