Found myself in the second row in Buffalo, right in front of LB. A great show.
One thing that was not mentioned yet (I don't think) was that there was a bat in the arena. Christine mentioned it early on and Steve swung her arms in bat- like motion. And throughout the show, I saw the bat swirling overhead.
I know others have posted this before, but I was struck by the number of young, attractive women who were allowed to go right in the front of the stage. The folks in the second row were blocked, but in came others, all attractive young women without exception. Some of them did not appear to know half the songs.
The vocals were really extraordinary. Sisters on the Moon was one of the highlights for me. Steve's performance keeps getting better and better on this one. Christine's delivery throughout was stellar, but especially Songbird.
I enjoyed hearing Christine tell the story when she and John were married -- and her asking John if he remembers that. I could not remember if they do that at all the shows.
I didn't mind NGBA. I prefer the original, but enjoyed it.
