Also I learned that Richie is staying in California. At the end of the show I went to buy a tshirt before realizing I lost my wallet. I'm pretty pissed about that right now. Overall it was a fun show, but it lacked a dc/always/nsg and I only heard one song that I didn't get at my two st paul shows (swid) Still better than nothing, and I'm glad I went despite the flaws.

By the way, I've never seen so many drunk Iowans in my life. Even on the way in people were falling over.
Sorry about the set but glad you had fun. Richie's Staying in Cali??? Please elaborate! Do you remember what solos Bobby played? Is Jon still overcompensating?

Chicago was the same way... a lot of drunk people! I figured it was the access to public transportation.

After he told the crowd to sing Richie's parts in Wanted, he told us that he bet Richie could hear us all the way in California. It was a brief comment, but revealing.

The solo I remeber the most was BOR. Phil left the stage and bobby had it all for himself I also believe he did the solo for LH (which was a terrible opener, people around me weren't even standing for it) He didn't have that many solos, but the ones he had really stood out.

I should also say that the show started out really slow and gained momentum as it went on. The best part was from iswid to the end of the main set. Then wwwb sucked the energy right out, but the crowd was jumping for the last three.

Really, Lost Highway opening again?! I don't mind it being played every night but not as the opener. I think Raise Your Hands is the way to go. I think it would be nice at this point to try a new opener completely. I think HAND would actually make a good opening song.

^ which if true, could be a good sign as he isn't planning on being around for the upcoming legs of the tour. Think positive!

I think if any new songs appear is will be Sunday in Orlando. I predict, ATL, Memphis, Houston, will be more of the same.
