i always though BL is getting tired when i was listening to concert recordings. but when i finally experienced it at the live show - wow!! completely different opinion.

I think perhaps the acoustic BL hasn't worn as well with repetition. I remember being absolutely blown away when watching the initial airing of The Dance on MTV. It was fun hearing it again on the CD and in concert, but with each subsequent listen it felt more like a stunt than a cohesive acoustic composition. An impressive stunt, to be sure, but its thrills tend to wear off after repeated listens. The full band version is not as immediately stunning but wears better.
