Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7237 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Too bad Pete's jacket was hung up on his guitar strap as it seemed to really interfere with his playing. I'm guessing Roger won't be talking for the next week or more. He really put everything into it to hit the notes, and he did hit them. I imagine the show in person was probably a LOT better than when we heard on TV. Lets face it, they're essentially a 3-piece band, and it just looses a lot in translation when you can't "feel" the music as much as hear it. I don't envy the guys that have to mix a show where the audience hears the music delayed 300ms or maybe even more after it's played. At least in a typical show, the stage volume makes up at least some of the sound. It was good to see them crank'n em out, for nostalgia sake, but I wasn't really blown away like I half expected to be. | ||

I thought I saw a lip-sync. After that I watched real close and saw more evidence against it. Pete & Rog where good enough. Zak was fine. Pino needs to turn up his bass. The light show was awesome. | ||
