Just came back from this show. I gotta say, this was an abusive aural assault. It was the loudest, and one of the worst-sounding shows I've ever heard. It was a shame because I could tell that John was playing all kinds of great stuff.

I loved every song he did, except `Boris...'. Of the stuff from "The Rock" that I hadn't heard `Last Song' didn't sound too promising, but the others did. I'm listening to the CD for the first time now and those others gave me a better impression live, despite the horrible sound. Here's the list:

  • Heaven & Hell
  • Had Enough
  • Success Story
  • Trick of the Light I could SEE the 8-string, but...
  • Bridges Under Water
  • The Real Me what IS that effect you're using these days, John?
  • Too Late the Hero a great surprise. Wish the keyboardist had picked up on a bit more of the arrangement. I think it was on this number that we started looking back at the soundman thinking `are you on this planet'? John was on mic and there was absolutely nothing audible from him over the din.
  • Love Doesn't Last
  • My Size
  • Boris
  • Life After Love
  • Love Is A Heart Attack
  • My Wife
  • Last Song
  • encore: Summertime Blues
  • 2nd encore: Shakin' All Over
