Just got back from the show, which was a total blast! I'm kind of pissed now seeing that Richie was there and didn't play (That would have been epic!), but nonetheless it was a great show and my favorite of the 5 Richie-less shows I've seen since 2011. I was thrilled to get These Days for the 1st time, and the whole encore was great. Jon was in a good mood and moving around all night. Sure he doesn't sound as good as he used to, but it doesn't take that much away from the show when you are there and singing along. The show lags a little in the middle and I would've preferred more new songs instead of the usual post-2000's rockers (Because We Can, Lost Highway, We Got it Goin On, Who Says You Can't Go Home, We Weren't Born to Follow). I really enjoyed THINFS as an opener, and God Bless This Mess is great live too. There were lots of good signs in the crowd today too, and Blood on Blood was a sign request. Overall it was definitely worth the trip, and I can't wait to see the videos from Cleveland next week!
