It seems they play it a little bit slower than on the LH-Tour or I'm wrong?
Anyway it's cool to see it back in the set.

i've said it once and i'll say it again. american crowds simply don't move, though there are some european countries where this happens as well (take for an instance the crowds at rock am ring in germany). I'm happy to be portuguese and firmly assure you that we simply don't stop singing along and moving during rock concerts.

even at a bon jovi concert (which is not the type of gig you'd mosh in), I don't get how the hell can the crowd be so stiff. Still, nothing compares to the fact (as Noel Gallagher once pointed out) that people often get up from their seats (again, seats at a rock concert ??) and go get a slice of pizza. what's worse than that ?

Aloha !

A slice of spaghetti?

Well, I'm sure some European crowds suck too, and some are great. Same here in America. So. I'm sure when he plays some songs for Europe they yawn and some they go nuts for.

I think that's a pretty brilliant performance.

Seems like a crowds behavior/reaction etc... really bothers you. You're pretty worked up about it. I could give a crap. I guarantee you just as many Europe crowds are lame as Americans. It's just certain songs you dig more, and certain songs we dig more. Ditto for Japan, SA, etc.... This "European crowds are so much better" attitute is hilarious. Just not that big a deal, however keeps getting brought up over & over & over & over...

Aloha !

And upon what do you base this guarantee?

LOL. Well, seriously, I admit some American crowds are lame. I've only been to 10-15 different cities in last 4 years for JBJ, and have seen some awesomeness and some people sitting (WTF?). I have never been to JBJ in another country, so I can't guarantee it. Just an educated guess. You can't seriously tell me, that every show in Europe or wherever every fan is ape nuts the entire show. Noone goes for a drink, bathroom, sits down for 1 minute etc.... the reason you all stand is (duh) no seats on main floor.

Aloha !

Yes, that's exactly what it's like in Europe. Appearantly that's a little too hard for you to imagine?

Actually, yeah, I can. Though even different areas of Europe are more nuts than others. In the UK for example, you're guaranteed the crowds at the Scottish or Manchester shows will go totally ape shit. And if you think it doesn't matter to the show - trust me, it does. It's a whole different atmosphere.
