A short extract from a YouTube podcast episode (A Bit of Optimism) featuring Clegg in a monologue-style reflection about the future of music audiences. The speaker predicts that within about ten years concert audiences will shift from older demographics to younger people seeking emotional experience rather than historical witnessing, and briefly mentions singing together and personal gratitude.

I think you're a very important musician. And I honestly believe if you continue what you're doing. If we go back and watch a concert together in 10 years, the audience will look nothing like the audiences look today. A lot of gray hair will be replaced by young people who are coming to feel something, not to sit and witness history. I keep thinking about this song. Maybe we can sing together.
Oh, this has been a magical treat for me. I can't even tell you.
