***SPOILERS!!***
Yeah... for me, the first set was lacklustre in places. There was a run of five songs which tried my patience even as a dedicated fan... Stick It Out. Workin' Them Angels, Leave That Thing Alone, Faithless, BU2B... a strange choice of tunes, IMO.
Back on track with Freewill, where the focus seemed to go back to the three blokes on the stage. (I'm not a fan of excessive videos - I find myself watching them more than the band).
And... MARATHON. My God, I love that tune.
Subdivisions had a bit of a shonky start, didn't it? The 'Subdivisions!' voice was a bit out of sync...
The second set was much better. Moving Pictures didn't use too much video. Witch Hunt was awesome (sorry, chris2112 ) Camera Eye was wierd, though.. where I was, no-one reacted when it started..? A great performance.
As I mentioned above, the sound was fairly cack where I was (nowhere weird... on the floor, in the middle). Geddy was an undefined rumble, unless they brought him up for solos or what-have-you. In which case it was a fizzy growl. Alex's Tele on Vital Signs was great.. I wish he'd go back to single-coils for a few more tunes.
The nadir sound-wise was Working Man. The solo section was an indistinct buzzy mush. They could have played anything, and I'd be none the wiser.
Overall... a great show, but it would have been better if I could have heard a bit more of it.
Its's nice to see Neil enjoying himself so much these days, as well....
