Totally agree, which has me worried about the chances of us getting anything remarkable at MSG.

Only thing with MSG is that it's "in place" of the Giant shows.
Not expecting that much, but something like Never Say Goodbye might come up.

I thought the show was very good. Jon sounded really good, especially during ITA and BOR.

I enjoyed meeting Becky and hanging with Dan at the bar!!

LOL The shirt swap was right before WGIGO. Jon was talking about how the Boston teams have been doing well, and someone tossed him a Celtics (professional basketball team that just won the NBA championship) jersey with his name on it. He started to just put it over the shirt he had on, but then took that one off instead. It was quick, but I can report that there's no beer belly in sight, Kenny. LOL



The setlist was not the most inspired, but I think this was a good SHOW. It was not autopilot. And even though there weren't a lot of surprises, I was very happy to hear Any Other Day (didn't get it during the main U.S. leg) and the REAL Bed of Roses. I know it's a sappy ballad, but I love it. It is my favorite, and I endured the TLFR version too many times earlier in the tour. This was my reward!



I was hopeful. After the small stage portion, one of the security guards gave a setlist to the little girl behind me. The audibles were ILTT, SIBSN, and Blood On Blood. I'd have loved those last 2 in a longer encore.



Richie didn't seem bothered by the sinus infection tonight. I'm betting antibiotics have knocked it back by now. He had a ton of energy and sounded good. Oh, he used that new gold guitar on IBTFY tonight.



As I said above, I was thrilled to hear it. Such an improvement over the icky lounge lizard version.

As Yvonne reported, I was very close to the small stage tonight. I really don't care about being there (much prefer Richie's side), but it was nice to be there during my first real BoR. Yvonne, you asked for pics, and I'm sure you figured you'd get Richie ones. LOL No luck in that regard tonight. Too many heads in the way from the 17th row on Hugh's side and all the way on the outside aisle. BUT, I got some decent ones of Jon during MAM and BoR. I hope these will do for tonight:









That's all for now, guys. I've got to sleep! Later . . .

very cool pics!!!! heres to tonight that you get Richie pics and i'm glad you got the REAL Bed Of Roses, was very happy!
