I love that Dave and Phil X got a highlighted moment on stage. That is the way it should be for a *band*. On another thread during the Circle tour I had commented that I wished Jon would stay on stage during Richie's solo song (usually IBTFY) to show his support--maybe then it wouldn't just be a bathroom break for lots of Jon fans.

I am cynical enough to wonder if Jon was being generous or if he knew he had to save his voice so he let Dave and Phil X have these moments. Except for letting Dave sing a rare verse of ITA--and usually with Dave's mike so low you had trouble hearing him fully, I don't recall Dave getting any significant solo time.
