we're still not sure what happened with Jon at Hull, he has said in an interview that it was not his best performance and I think most of us have accepted that as an apology and the fact he has acknowledged it was not good. My persoanl feelings are exhaustion and the combination of the drugs he was on for hayfever but who really knows.

I was at Glasgow and Hull so both ends of the Uk tour. At Glasogw Richie really didn't seem to be performing at his usual level, but at Hull he performed amazingly, managing all the solos etc. granted he didn't use a double necked guitar but those things are heavy and it probably wouldn't have been a good idea for a recovering shoulder.

I agree with you about the 2 extra musicians tho, can't say the sound was any better with them but then again it is 3 years since i last saw them so if you played both the bounce and the HAND tours back to back maybe i would notice a difference
