The band were on fire, the set lists were great for early LH tour standards, Jon's vocals were already well on the way to the mid-year "renaissance", the crowds were great, the sound quality is great... all in all, great stuff!
PS. I've been wondering for quite a while that even though Jon's voice had already drastically improved from the levels of late '07 by the time the band hit Australia (the poor vocals in the Tokyo show a week earlier were a result of him being sick), and would only improve further throughout the following US arena leg, why did it take until late April for Always to return into the set and until late May for them to start playing the original version of BOR again? Surely his vocals could've coped at least with the latter a bit earlier already? I mean, he even sounded OK-ish on most performances of it on the THINFS tour, which obviously was miles and miles below any of his earlier standards vocally...
