I HATE that they lowered the song down a key. Stevie sounds great, but I love it in the original key.

I agree with you about Rod's performance. I was at the show and Rod sounded fine. Granted, he's not Don Henley on this song, but he didn't butcher it. I am not sure where all the "Rod hate" is coming from. I would guess they lowered the key so Stevie could sing the higher harmonies. I didn't hear any complaints about the song from anyone sitting near me. People cheered for the song at the end. (hey, it beat having to hear Passion!) The song will only get better in the few nights that remain.
