Grerat review Dominik!
It's interesting how people's impression are the same at one moment and different at another.
I agree that Lost Highway killed the atmosphere and the crowd. It's utter crap. Out of the new songs BWC got some reception I think due to the drums which make people clap and due to having been played after after IML. On the other hand, from what I could see - people around me and view of the stadium - WAN rather bored people.
I wrote you the message at a point when I got really bored. I hate when the set is predictable and I hate it even more when an unpredictable spot is used for a song I don't wanna hear. I could have probably enjoyed it more if I were down in GA. I actually like MaM and WWWB but I kinda expected some great ballad or just something special like Bells Of Freedom in Munich 2 years ago or Living In Sin aor Wild Is The Wind for example and instead we got MaM which bores me live. They should have played just MaM or rather just WWWB, which I enjoyed more two years ago. It was all after the amazing KTF, I was flying high and then bored to death. WWBTF is my favourite from the album but it sucks live, at least it has good screen pictures (the current streetart in red), then captain crash which I refused to wave throughout the whole song, only at the end and then Who Says - that's too many songs, I'd fine with two of them but not four in a row without any little surprise. By the time Sleep started I was bored and close to let down because Sleep could also very boring. Fortunately it was the new beginning of the show, the covers were great.
Yeah, you're right, Richie is missed so much. I'm glad you mentioned RYH - it sucked. I his sound on the HaND intro but those were just short moment during the show when I thought it sounds right or really good. Tjrough the rest of the show it just didn't feel right.
I agreed with my girlfriend that if the didn't so the encored the way they did, we would be very unsatisfied. The main part was really nothing special. And instead of crappy songs like captain crash or Lost Highway, I'd prefer some of the new tunes - it's the new album they promote for god's sake! Not so long ago he bragged about not being a nostagia band and now we get just three songs?

So this is a song about having a dream and chasing it, till you find the Bright Lights." - Aldo Nova.
