So, you all know my feelings on night #1. $200 face value tickets and only 20 songs. That's bullshit, but falls more on the casino than the band. And Jon made the adjustments for night #2 and hit the stage about 15 minutes earlier, so that was cool. The set list for both shows I was very happy with. Jon sounded great. I'll get the negatives out of the way first:

- Someone needs to tell Jon he sounds like a moron singing WWWB and pronouncing it "beautee-full". Just say "beautiful".

- Mohegan Sun crowds suck. Half the people there are comped their tickets, and the other half is drunk.

- No need to play Captain Crash at all, let alone 2 nights in a row.

- They needed to space things out a bit differently, as the encores were pathetic.

- While Love's The Only Rule is one of my favorites on the record, it didn't go over well at the show. It's not a good closer to the main set.

- Richie sucked ass at both shows.

- I hate going to shows at Mohegan Sun. After a couple of hours of sucking in 2nd hand smoke, I was sick as shit for the entire 2nd show.

As for the positives:

- Jon seemed to be in a great mood, especially the 2nd night, and was by no means on auto-pilot. He sounded great too.

- Though I don't care for Miss Fourth of July, kudos on how good it sounded.

- Why the hell aren't they playing HAND at every show. It got one of the best reactions of the night, despite Richie screwing up.

- The stage and screens are incredible.

- I didn't lose any money at the casino.

- We Got It Going On and Work For The Working Man have been 2 of my least favorite tracks, yet went over fantastic live. Superman Tonight and Love's The Only Rule are 2 of my favorite tracks, and neither go over well live. Go figure.

- Driving home, I heard Superman Tonight on the radio twice. First time hearing it on radio.

That's really about it. Great shows by Jon, though the 1st was too short. There's something wrong with Richie. Dave is fine as always. Bobby was pretty cool too. Hugh was Hugh. Tico looks like he's about to fall asleep back there, but sounded fine.
