It's over.

Good night!

There's no way around Wanted. They have to do it. And the acoustic version is no less special, so it doesn't matter which way they do it.

Goodnight everyone. Maybe IBTFY can show up on youtube so I can find out what this extra verse was.

Yes, Wanted is special acoustic or the regular way --- I don't see any reason not to keep it special. I might be making people very upset tonight, but there is nothing wrong with going out and making every show as special as is possible, given the circumstances.

I would think Richie would *want* the shows to go well, after all. I would think if they did not go well, he might have more guilt than already is in place (assuming he feels guilty, and I would bet he probably does).

Rest well everyone. Hopefully, Richie will be back in action soon, and in good health with everything on its way to recovery.

I do think that SDIBSN works pretty well as a closer, more so than LOAP.

Looks like a pretty depressing set given the circumstances. Hopefully Richie is doing well in rehab and can come back as soon as possible. Though Phil X is a great guitar player, it doesn't seem like Jon is enjoying himself without Richie there.

Good night

Wanted and Prayer are two songs that will never not get played.

I was more thinking Jon and a guitar for Wanted- I take all your points but it just doesn't seem right. Maybe its just me.

To die-hard BJ fans, yes. Not to casuals lol

I think that SDIBSN was played as it's own encore tonight as a nod to Richie.

I agree. I've said it before, but i absolutely HATE Prayer as a closer.

Looking at the set, It's pretty much what I expected. What a shitty way to open an encore, though.

I hate it too. Soooooooooooooooo predictable.

I actually liked it in the middle to early part of the set, it was a very cocksure move.
