"Overwhelmingly positive" might be a bit hyperbolic, considering that most reviews have expressed reservations with portions of the show. But you sure like to stir the pot here.
Anyway, no matter how successful this tour is, this iteration of FM has a lot of work cut out for them to make this any more than an interesting footnote in the band's history. A new album for starters.
I think the risk with bringing in Finn and Campbell, rather than lesser known musicians, is that they have established careers of their own and don't need FM. They generate more interest in the short-term, but they may not stick around after this tour, as they both have discussed other musical projects in recent interviews. So we'll see what happens.
