I think Storms went over well. I don't think the audience was bored. They were reverent. But it was kind of funny when Stevie said that those who don't know the song will know it after tonight. Was that an introduction or a threat?

Yeah I too thought Storms went over quite well. That's the thing about opinions though, they are subjective and we could all have a different opinion of the song even if we all heard it at the same time. To me it appeared the crowd was into it and that it went over well, but I can certainly understand someone else thinking it flopped. Our sections may have just been more into it.

To be honest, I thought World Turning was the biggest flop of the night. It does not belong as a first encore song. And the crowd seems to lose interest and sits down during Mick's solo. The encore should be exciting and loud and should keep the crowd moving.

I thought it went over really well too. People were quiet because they were listening intently.

The only song I thought didn't fare maybe as well as others was Say You Love Me. Everything else had tremendous audience reaction. The crowd was really into it, and the band as a result.

Oh Well should be dropped. Lindsey, as brilliant as he is, doesn't really know how to play the blues.

Anyone who thinks "Oh Well" is a blues tune doesn't know **** about the blues. (It still boggles my mind that Billy Burnette used to intro the song that way...what the hell was he thinkin'?) It's not like Lindsey's trying to play BB King or Elmore James tunes here.

That said, it's correct that Lindsey, even after all this time, has a tough time with it; however, after the clip I saw from last night, he's playing it better than ever...his guitar TONE still sucks (like a 1960's transistor radio on steriods with a serious sinus problem), but he's vastly improved his technique on the tune since 1982.

That's WHY Lindsey plays Oh Well...because it's not a blues song. He really has no place to sing the blues since he comes from a "Disneyland" background. LOL He can give that shout-out to Peter without going towards the blues.

Was I on drugs or were we not promised ANGEL? I thought that Mick or Stevie said they were gonna do it.

They never said that. Not only have they not said they were going to do it, I don't think they have even mentioned the song in a good 20 years.

I thought SYLM picked up as it went along. That first verse Stevie did had me disoriented. I was trying to sing along and couldn't, but things improved.

I thought they were going to do "Hold Me."

They could do it as an instrumental only.

That's one of many "hits" they didn't do. I understand they're doing songs that people connect with, but don't call it a hits tour when in fact, it's not. The only way they could possibly do a true hits tour would be to bring Christine back.
