The night 3 show rocked far more than night 1 and the fiddle was gone from the old arrangements except for Richie's These Days.

There was also the quite appropriate speech:

"I love these people because they love us. And the ones that don't love us... **** 'em!"

Perhaps Jon is reading the reviews - or listening to his friends.

A huge fan e-mailed me today - he was there night 2 and night 3. He is not a fan club member and he doesn't post here - but he's a longtime fan. He asked if it was him or were these shows really weak? Or maybe he just wasn't as big a fan as he used to be?

Unfortunately for the band - many people are asking the same question.
