I’m watching a DVD of the 2002 Party At The Palace. They’ve got the huge stage setup, with an orchestra behind. And pretty much, when they aren’t playing, the musicians and techies are grinning at the camera, perving at the cute girl dancers or clapping and singing along. It’s pretty awesome, the acts are amazing (Brian May, Ricky Martin, Annie Lennox, Phil Collins, Will Young and Blue all within the first half hour, and those were just the ones I liked personally) and there are some nice shots of the royal family (minus the Queen herself, but Harry and William make up for that) sitting and enjoying themselves.
Of course, I really should be studying Biology, but I don’t wanna!
ETA: 42 minutes in and I realise that Phill Colins has been just sitting casually in the orchestra and playing the drums ever since his song, which was about 4 songs ago. I love that man.
ETA 2: 45 minutes in: The Corrs are beautiful singers, wow. I once partied with Andrea Corr on one New Year’s Eve. She’s really lovely.

I think that DVD is one of the best collections of musicians you’ll find. And yes, Phil was up on stage for quite a bit of the show.
The professional musicians can go for hours.
