I too went to Se for the weekend and have to agree about not returning to this venue. Security was heavy- handed, these people want you in the casino and no where else. They had lines painted on the floor next to the floor rows, if you stepped outside the line they were forcing you back inside it or telling you to leave.
As for the show it was short, hour and a half, but most non-tour shows are about that so I wasn't surprised by this part. The band did start late and Jon was very lethargic. His voice was strong but they had alot of trouble with mics and earphones. Jon was not very happy, it seemed like he wasn't feeling right, although I have to say he really did try. You could almost see him talking to himself btwn verses and songs pushing himself to find energy. He had little to say to the audience.
Richie too seemed to struggle. He played well but minus some of his usual bravado, and he struggled vocally.
Dave, Hugh and Tico were all in fine form, Dave in particular was very energetic.
' I wouldn't say it was a horrible show but it was just OK, they are definitely not tour ready yet. Alot of it was less good for me because of where it was. There is no real bar in this casino just a couple of small floor bars in the casino area and one small lounge type bar that closed up at 11pm!!! The restaurants closed early as well leaving just a small crowded snack bar again right next to the casino floor so it's hard to sit and talk. Not a very good place for a concert in my opinion, and not a place I'd go back to.
