Atlanta- Who was there?

[Highwayman]

Jeez, I need to come around here more often!

The show was out of this world. As jaded as we get because the set seems to never change, each time it is a pleasure to see her. The upside was all the ENERGY she had! Man, did she rock! Her voice was in great form -- the sound system was clear, no distortion, and her voice was right there up front. I will say that "Crash" was a snoozer of the night, but she redeemed herself with "Face the Promise" and "Rock and Roll" (but she could have done Julia, All the King's Horses and China Doll (grumble, grumble, grumble)). The drum solo and the Edge into didn't seem to last forever, neither did the into to Rhiannon. It was just a great show!


Oh, we were in row Z on the right side, right in the middle of the row. Apologies to anyone we stepped on trying to get to our seats. The big fans on the ceiling kept the temp down, but it was a steamy night.

Yes, I always like to see her too, even when you know exactly what is coming, live always brings a joy and excitement of its own. And I really don't mind that her setlist doesn't change as much as I DO mind that the change has consisted of covers. I would complain less about her doing 2 versions of Dreams in her show than I do about the Rock and Roll, Crash, etc.

Well, I wonder if Taku will be finished with his other engagements in time to tour with FM in 2009. The Edge drum solo is exciting for me. I wish Mick could cobble one together that I could enjoy. Michele
