I agree, Rolo. He seemed sad and like it was a struggle for him to get through some of the intros/stories. I didn't notice it in the songs as much, except for one that I remember. I think it was Labor of Love. He kinda choked up and it looked almost like he was almost in tears at one point. I felt really bad for him.

I don't mean to take anything away from the performance. He sounded great in the songs and they seemed to have a lot more energy. He just didn't seem happy to me.

As he said, these last two, maybe three years were hard for him. Maybe talking about the songs makes him relive all that pain as these are genuine personal songs. Also this might be what makes him so proud about this record.

Yeah, I think it just struck me because in the three first shows I couldn't see his face while he was talking, most of the time, and in this one I could. So it just seemed more evident.

Hopefully it will be a catharsis for him and he can move on.

Thanks for the link guys. Really appreciate it. Cant wait for the new album.

Positive review of the show and new songs in USA Today:

It will be edited for the official DVD.
I think Obie is fixing it right now :lol!:

Nope, it's in the same key as in 2015:

The THINFS album version is in the same key as BB album version (based on iTunes samples).

That clip shows them playing it in Ab (Which would be G live) whereas on the Barrymore theater showed them playing in in Am (which would be Ab live as they tune down). It would make it the exact key as the album version, unless they used standard tuning for just this song which wouldn't make any sense....

Really? Are you sure these aren't the same? Or am I deaf?

I dont know man, I've been wrapping my head around this. I wish I had better tone recognition. I know I found it odd because both phil and Shanks are playing it with the Am chord progression and in 2015 phil and Matt used Ab. It sounds faster but I was just wondering if that was also a factor as to why it sounded more powerful now....

I'm no musician, but my rule of thumb is - if it's debatable it means the key is the same. Because when live performance changes the key it is almost always very obvious and there's no room for debate (e.g. 95% of Bon Jovi performances).

No, the key is exactly the same on that two.

Also I don't get your argumentation at all, since Am = A minor (key of A, minor chord), and Ab = Ab major (one half tone below A, but major chord). Either you mean Abm instead of Ab, or I can't seem to follow you ;-)

yeah, only forgot to put the little m.

I recognize that Barrymore Theather is a very good promo show. It's funny, chicago promo from Lost Highway not that good, Jon's voice was better, the band sounds perfect, but the show was very boring when played the album.

I would have liked to see a promotional concert from The Circle playing the entire album.
