I agree. I enjoyed the longer version but inserting the song in that slot in the set prevented the mass exodus that occurs just by introducing Richie. People actually stayed in their seats and were pleasantly surprised to hear Richie do LYHOM. KTF effectively took it's place to close the main set especially with the fireworks.

I'm just glad that they found a place for LTOR in the stadium show rather than dropping it when they wanted to rock the end of the main set with KTF and fireworks. As others have said, it worked well before Richie's slot. The first night at the Meadowlands, they did a longer version when Jon went out onto the circle. It was shorter the other 2 nights when he didn't do that. I'm with Kathleen - I like the long version.

I loved the longer version from Night 1, and I love what it does for Richie.

This is an excellent quality video of Dry County from night 3 at the Meadowlands. What a performance!

Brilliant,hope they keep it in the set for O2.

Auto-tuning is the most horrid and dis-honest thing a band can do.
we dont wanna hear studio tricks rehashed

everyone is using it or so it seems!

not jon though! Fair fu*ks to him!

Oh yes. Many thanks for posting that one.

Nice to see Just Older back in the set! Brilliant song.

Dry County from the soundcheck. Very good quality!

Couldn't get it to play past 1:34 but it was sounding good. Cheers for posting.

Alternative lyrics?

I haven't tried to work them out. Supposedly they dealt with the on-going oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sounds a bit strange when you know the song for ages. Glad they did not change it.

This guy has really good picture and sound quality for Dry County, Just Older, Raise Your Hands, Wanted, Who Says and in These Arms from the 3rd date at meadowlands.

Please, could someone post the alternative lyrics of this song?? I tried to do my best to understand them but I still have many "empty spaces"...
Thanks a lot!!! :rolleyes:

taking a break from the recent circle tour posts....

an AMAZING duet with Jon and Bruce... 10th Ave Freezeout

Haha, I can't believe I found this.:o Back in the early 80s, Jon filled in for Scandal's guitarist for one of their music videos (this is before Jon hit it big with Runaway). I just found out about this. I can't believe it! Here's Jon in the video (he's wearing a purple shirt):

Good stuff, thanks! It's funny how Jon hass been playing guitar for over 30 years and all of a sudden, a few years ago, he started needing that useless **** Bandiera to play parts for him.

Clip of Something For The Pain I uploaded from last night at The O2.
Will upload some more vids after tonights show :D

Cool stuff!

prayer 02. jon's voice is perfect

Richie & Tico interview 7th June 2010 - http://www.youtube.com/user/mrjamese...13/DINmTlVlW4c

The interview is split into parts for some reason and can be accessed on the right hand side panel.

Opening/Blood On Blood - O2 Night 1 -
close-up but partial - farther back but complete - SPOILER ALERT: DON'T WATCH THESE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HOW THE SHOW OPENS!

IBTFY - O2 Night 1 - THIS is just one reason why Richie shouldn't go back to doing IBTFY for his solo song. :cool:

SFTP - O2 Night 1 -
SIBSN (partial) - O2 Night 1 - Just listen to Richie's little solo. <sigh>

I actually liked that. The japanese singers were terrible, but I wish they could play this song like that live all the time. It just needs Jon on guitar for it to work..

Is it half tone down or original key?

Some clips I uploaded to YouTube for the last 2 nights at The O2:

small...but...nice

Heres My Complete Dry County! The image quality isnt the best at the moment but its still being processed and will improve on completion. It was shot in HD :-)

I cannot hear the opening chords to that song without getting sucked into it. I simply love it. Thanks

Same here. I immediately lose the ability to breathe. What a song.

Again, amazing video - many thanks!

OK I just watched it - what were all the negative comments about the solo doing in the pbp? That was a standard Richie solo - played very nicely I might add - why did people think that Bobby was playing the solo?

More people need to think before they post if you ask me.

Mo was listening on the phone and thought it sounded like a little different solo. People jumped to the conclusion that Richie wasn't playing it, that Bobby was, and it went from there. I can't imagine Richie turning that particular solo over to anyone as long as he could still draw breath and move his fingers.

I'm with you on this one ... You're totally right and that DC was wonderful :D

The solo was masterpiece as usual,but he changed it a little,it seems like they didn't rehearse it since it was last played so he improvised here and there,it wasn't played note by note as on the record :)

It sounds like Richie messes up a little and took the solo on a different course.

Only us eager beavers would notice of course :)

Heres my Bed Of Roses Enjoy :)

its amazing isnt it, it was like torture seeing richie come out for the encore with that yellow guitar whilst jon recorded davids intro...worth it for that little organ note though :D

Heres my recording of Always

Another brilliant video . . . and another tremendous performance of my favorite ballad. Many thanks for posting this!

Also wonderful!

I think you can tell when Jon starts to feel more comfortable doing Always . . . he starts walking around during it. For the first performances of the song on both the LH tour and this one, he was glued to the mic stand and holding on for dear life. By the time they came back from Europe last time, he was sufficiently comfortable that he could sing it while making his way back to the main stage from the small one out in the audience.

This is gonna get really good . . .
