Hi Kathleen!
Loved hearing New Year's Day; had a lot of energy. It was one of the few new songs I didn't record....Hope to record it tomorrow night.

Am curious how you thought Jon sounded on the first song, just sounded "strange" to me.....for me to notice it without having any musical inclination whatsoever, I can only imagine what people who do have a musical background thought!

The other 7 people I was with really enjoyed the show, though a few did complain not recognizing the new songs....their own fault really, as I dropboxed them all a copy of the new cd for them to listen to ahead of time.

I am thrilled that he is playing so many new songs. At the last u2 concert I was at, Bono played 6-7 new songs from his new cd also and I remember thinking why doesn't Jon do that.
