THIRTY-five years ago the Once In A Lifetime line-up would have filled the Echo Arena and driven fans wild. In 2010, nothing has changed.
The Bay City Rollers, Leo Sayer, David Essex and The Osmonds have no trouble getting the crowd on their feet singing along to every track and generally giving them a lovely time.
Rollermania kicks off with the 1976 hit "I Only Want to be with You."
In a white, tartan-trimmed overcoat, lead singer Les McKeown grooves around the stage like your dad at a wedding but you can't help loving him for it.
He stands at the front of the stage holding the mic to the audience as the mass of women and sprinkling of men shout back "Bye Bye Baby" after demonstrating they remember how to do The Bump.
Curly-bonced Leo Sayer is up next claiming: "It's good to be in Liverpool again, I've missed you. Isn't it wonderful to relive the past? You're making an old man feel really happy.”
The crowd seem a little subdued towards the middle of his set but get a second wind for "Thunder in my Heart" which revisited the charts in 2006.
