From Worldpop:

Steps play the second of their concerts in the Middle East for British troops tonight alongside Geri Halliwell. The fab five are scheduled to play Camp Fairburn at a British base situated 150 miles into the Omani desert. On Saturday evening the band played the first of their concerts to British troops. The concert had to be stopped briefly when thousands of troops rushed the stage as they tried to copy Steps’ line dancing moves. Faye, Claire and Lisa, performing in saucy nurses’ uniforms, also managed to raise temperatures in the audience even higher! Unlike Geri who has chosen to frolic in the sea on her time off, Steps have been learning about military hardware. They’ve been allowed to sit at the controls of army tanks and sit in the cockpits of military aircraft bombers. ‘They’ve enjoyed their time in the Middle East immensely,’ said a spokesman for the band. ‘Their concerts have been a real success.’
