My emotional reaction at first too, but - Even Hugh couldn't remember what one song he uses a pic for - and he has very little gear plus years compared to the others. Shanks imo - wants to appear "smart" and a bit of a control freak, guess that is the producer in him. Phil seems to just be I'll work hard, know the music, awe shucks kind of guy and he trusts his tech to know what to hand him and when on the set list. Why have the information overload if you trust your tech? I still feel like he is very humble and grateful to be playing on that stage. Listening to them - I am not a musician or a gear head but love these interviews, I think I could learn from Phil's pov.
I think they are having fun this go around. Even Tico & David seem "happy". I think they are spacing out, more breaks as they are all older and that takes some of the pressure off to do such hard tours. They "have nothing to prove" like a new band with their first number one. They paid those dues. It will never be the 80's or 90's again - I'm enjoying it again myself for what it is - BonJovi 2017
