Leonard re-included this tonight (6 Nov) in Glasgow!
It seemed to me that, at the end of a terrific Hallelujah and I'm Your Man, Leonard was suddenly struck by the mood for something different before Take this Waltz. Above the applause for I'm Your Man he twice shouted the single word "Poem!" across the stage to Neil Larson. Roscoe put his bass guitar down, the angels sat, Dino stood to attention, and there we were again, A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Wot, no 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' ......

I also hope for the recitation in RAH (it was dropped in Italy in July). But to my ears, it seems not logical to go from recitation of A Thousand Kisses Deep to Take This Waltz. I simply still didn't hear the connection. Logically, I'd expect that the recitation of A Thousand Kisses Deep (section one, poem) smoothly gives the way to first chords of A Thousand Kisses Deep (section 2, song, as published in the Book of Longing). That would be the ultimate version.

He did it at the 02 tonight, it was the highlight of the set for me, it sends multiple shivers down my spine.
