QUICK REVIEW;
This was a very good concert. The atmosphere was electric - much better than I had been expecting. Obviously, as a die hard, I would have loved to have had some rarities in there but there is no denying that performance wise and in terms if the crowd, last night was exactly what a rock concert should be.
Also, the sound was, again, much better than I thought it would be given the size of the stadium. Jon was pretty clear throughout the night and his vocals held up well with no noticeable squeaks or duff ups. The only mistake was the solo of It's My Life never happened - Phil X's talk box mic set up didn't work for some reason.
Whole Lot of Leaving. A song I like and despite the fashion on this board to dis it, it went down well and the break after 'Do we got it anymore?' produced one of the loudest cheers of the night. I like it on cd and it enjoy it live.
Was good to get Diamond Ring but Richie is missed hugely when they play it.
The medley was certainly fun but I don't see what peoples problem with it is. Depends on your taste whether or not this is the 'show highlight'.
Jon was not static at the mic at all. He was bouncing around and strutting all night - and made use of the ramp round the pit.
Basically it was a solid show - the noise produced by the crowd after Prayer was monstrous and I was really surprised they didn't do one more. The entire band ran down the strairs pretty quickly after they bowed and left Jon to look at the audience... He kind of looked like he regretted letting the band leave the stage and realised he should have done another....
Hopefully he held back for tonight's show.
