Chicago Review

Someone else who dosen't think 'Last Man' is a good opener!

"Once the band said goodnight, the lights dimmed and after what seemed like an eternity (a long four-minute wait), the band appeared back on stage for the first encore, a clothes change, and the last curve ball … “Bells Of Freedom,” which might be the least likeable track off of the new release. Why they decided to use this as an encore one can only guess, as they deflated the crowd and pretty much lost all of the momentum built up by the energetic closer."

I think the band has made a very wise decision dropping this from the set list. This and starting off with LMS seems to be the low points of the shows.

"Every album apart from 7800 Fahrenheit was represented"

Hmmmm, forgetting something are we?

I'm really wondering who made the choices of what songs from the new album to play.
Whether you like it or not, you can't deny "I Wanna Be Loved" would make a great live-singalong, while nobody needs BOTH Last Cigarette and SOML in the same list.

They've been playing I Want To Be Loved. Haven't been playing Last Cigarette the last few nights.

They never play anything from These Days, which is definately my favorite album of theirs. I'd love to hear "Something To Believe In" or "Lie to Me" or even "These Days". But those songs, for some unknown reason, NEVER GET PLAYED! oh well. maybe the guys will catch on someday. however, it was still an excellent show (last friday in Chicago at the United Center) and other than that I don't have any complaints. Well, except that they probably shouldn't have kicked the show off with LMS, but we've all talked about that enough.

peace
