It's really been the same theme as in the last couple tours over the past 10 years...There's always the first night jitters, you can always tell in the first show how uncomfortable and nervous Stevie is until right towards the end of the show.
Unleashed was a great example when everyone was freaking out that she hardly twirled during the Stand Back guitar solo, or that she didn't let loose on some of the songs...
When I saw the first SOTM and everyone was like UGH, I remembered the last tours they had their first show. By the 3rd show it was much better, and couple months into it even better as long as Stevie doesn't get sick which seems to be often these days.
Either way...I thought SOTM was a lot better this time around, and I agree with most here that it's only going to get better. It won't be perfect but it'll be at least enjoyable to the ears.
