Wow, that's crazy.

Not much screaming at all, and whiffing on screams like at the end of "Save You". You can tell it frustrates him too. On the flip side, the band is already pretty tight, which shows that they must have rehearsed a lot over the past 2-3 weeks. They're all really into it, too. Stone seems more interested and invested than he has in awhile. That's nice to see.

Yeah, it definitely took me out of the moment and instead of just continuing to enjoy one of my favorite songs I was going "what the hell?"lowlight79 wrote:cutuphalfdead wrote:One thing I didn't like, was in Do The Evolution they tried to manufacture a piece in the middle to get the crowd to sing the guitar parts ala South America.

That DTE sing along pisses me off everytime. It's being left off my future mix, fo sure.
Thanks for sharing, these are greatcutuphalfdead wrote:Nice work.
You are right. It was a great version of a shitty song that no one was into.broken iris wrote:hlniv wrote: The only hiccup was gone.
Really? I don't particularly like the song, but I thought it was a great version. I think the only hiccup was the stream "sing-a-long" hits at the end. I agree with Rob that Eddie did that to give his voice a reprieve and hopefully we get rewarded in Brooklyn this weekend for a shorter set tonight.
But, damn. Who would have guessed we would get Fatal and Otherside at back to back shows? The odds of Dirty Frank showing up by the time they get to Philly are increasing.
After some reflection, I am willing to concede that the song selection and performance was, indeed, better on night 1. Tough to overlook a 3hr set with 32 songs. And the second night did seem short. The big difference was the energy. Night 2 was incredible in the pit. I was dead center, halfway back. The sound was perfect (better than the 1st night) and the level of enthusiasm for the main set was something I've never experienced in over 20 shows.Rob wrote:Tonight was not better than night one. Eddie stated at the beginning that last night was long and he'd need help tonight. I think that's why we see so much "sing along" music toward the end (or just more than normal). It was a great show, as usual, but pretty standard for a night 2 anywhere these days.

No, sir. This opinion is wrong. Nothing will ever detract from how kickass DTE is in concert. Hearing Ed encourage the crowd back in Chicago was awesome.cutuphalfdead wrote:One thing I didn't like, was in Do The Evolution they tried to manufacture a piece in the middle to get the crowd to sing the guitar parts ala South America.
