Absolutely love Rollercoaster! I love the 'ooohhh' parts at the end of some lines.

I really hope they keep Rollercoaster and We don't run for the tour! Both sound amazing live! Who is doing the backing vocals on Scars on this guitar? Is it Dave? He's absolutely nailing it!!

These performances Jon sounds better than on the first 2. Looks like a test warm up for the stream. I'm confident in the dude that we will get better vocals come show time next year.....

jon improves with every show...hope he continues to work this out...
i have seen all the 3 shows til now and its evident he feels more confident, it was also obvious he smilled and moved more, he has a long way to go to do the back catalogue justice live but its promising there seems to be improvement.
i love most of the new songs, hope there is a bunch of them in the setlists and some setlist staples that stayed for too long like lost highway-leaving going on-we got it going on-because we can etc become replaced by new songs, i think 5-6 new songs would be ideal if placed right and combined with oldies.

I hope they keep most of them! There's a few I don't care much but anything is better than hearing the same post HAND songs over and over again. Last time they believed in an album was HAND. I think they played the whole album (save for a song or two?) and lots of album cuts where semi-regulars or even regulars. I know people like the 2008-2011 tours for the rarities, but to me up until the HAND tour they had a better core setlist. Born to Follow, LH, WGIGO and BWC can't be classics over most post2000 songs, I refuse to accept it.

This should be the perfect time to start anew. They have strong songs live, they seem to enjoy playing them, Jon's voice is holding up pretty well so the more new songs they use, the better, everybody and their mother has already heard at least 4 songs from the album and chances are most fans have had the chance to watch most of them live. They really don't have lots of excuses this time to ditch the new songs because they are not working. They are clearly working live, when was the last time that happened?

The only problem I see is some of them might sound too similar, but at least they have many options this time for a nice rotation. Well, they only one they can't touch is Devil's. If they don't make it a staple live I will... I don't know what I'll do but it won't be nice

Does or did anyone put a link together of all songs with the best qualities? So we could have all 4 shows...

I have always had a problem with Phil's juvenile, overenthusiastic mugging, especially since he doesn't do it when he's performing with others. And I agree with Rolo -- he comes across like he's a little a kid who won a "Richie Sambora Fantasy" contest. It wouldn't be so annoying if his guitar playing kept pace.

What does your last sentence mean?

I'm calling foul, he always seems high energy in whatever he's performing at to me.

I think rocknation has an axe to grind and just seems offended someone's enjoying themselves in Richie's place.
