They are Vets, and let's be honest--4 of them know these songs in their sleep. They delayed the start of the tour to rehearse longer. I agree, they should have come out stronger. It was a fail. And Ellen gushing about how good they were almost seemed forced--making me wonder, was it more awkward in person? But that is total speculation
I've seen folks saying Neil's energy won't be like Lindsey's (no matter how in synch they get--that was 100% apparent yesterday) but he will be "fine" I am sorry, "fine" may cut it in the Mohegan Sun arena, but it's not gonna work in MSG or the Forum.
