Default Supersonic's slightly bigger than small all mattering review on Giants #3

Aloha !

It was good, but it wasn't the best show. Night 2 was the best show, even though night 3 had the better setlist.

Some highlights:

Diamond Ring was in there because I requested it. Right before I'll Be There For You I shouted the title and Jon hesitated a little bit before the intro of the song. Then when the acoustic set was supposed to be done Jon mentioned on how this was a request. I reckon he heard it because my super awesome mega-loud voice for once overruled all the blonde bimbo's screaming next to us every time Jon moved into our direction a bit.

Dry County was better tonight, but Keep The Faith was best on night 2. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead was lovely, great party vibe in the stadium and Jon doing 2 verses of Jumpin' Jack Flash is something I've wanted him to do for ages. When the show was done I was disappointed on there being no second encore and them really not giving their all, but Jon at times was holding back, even though his voice was awesome on Faith and Dry County. He didn't do anything special on KTF or Sat. Night even though I was pretty sure he was thinking of it. Had there be no O2 shows coming up next I'm pretty sure we'd have gotten a show that was a bit more daring on his vocals, even though everyone who's complaining on his singing is a clueless gimp. Hearing Something For The Pain every night is awesome, I never got tired of hearing that one.

AND...

For the people remembering me posting on how Thierry, Tom and me doing a special dance on Crash at Twickenham back in 2008. Well, I brought the dance to America ladies and gentlemen.

So this had a good setlist, it was a very good show, but night 2 was the best show out of the 3 shows. And I can kinda understand where Americans are coming from by saying Giants is so awesome compared to the regular arena shows. It's just that the energy coming from Jon is pretty similar to the energy coming off from him at the German shows. Still, I've got no reason to complain regarding these shows. They were pretty much what I expected them to be, and everyone left satisfied.

So once again, you ****ers bitching about this and that on the Giants show. Go ****ing stand in the corner and think of your sins and leave the analyzing up to me.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
