Anyway, Prudential center shows. First of all, I really dislike the new album, but, seems that the songs work better live, actually adding some diversity to the shows. Some turned out quite, hmmm, likable. Jon then, his voice isn't any better than last couple of tours, but somehow he doesn't sound annoying. Maybe accepting his limits and doing all he can with his voice. Playing at times does sound lazy, but it kinda fits. Less rocking than in the past, but much more entertaining than last tours.

One things that has been discussed is the chatter in between songs. As much as I hate those worn out lines, gotta admit what someone posted: chatter has become part of the songs. Boring, but just gotta admit that those stupid lines are there to stay. To think of it, even if its all heard time and time again, the lines keep the show moving.

Song selections then. Apparently they have rehearsed loads of tunes for the tour. I do hope they would add at least couple of lost gems to the set. For example something from fahrenheit. Or, as it seems to be a trend these days, they should try playing a whole album, be it SWW or whatever. No, I don't mean one night of LH. Main thing is trying something they haven't done yet. And for God's sake, get rid of Shout.

So, I must say I'm surprised in quite positive way. Didn't expect anything from them anymore. Still not back to being a rock band, but back to being an entertaining band. Which is all cool in my book.
Dude! Aren't you getting soft on your old day
