The show KICKED ASS!!!!!  The 10,000 Maniacs really don't interest me that
much, so I was not paying much attention.  The BareNaked Ladies were
phenomenal as usual.  The hometown boys were put on an exceptionally
stellar performance.  Considering that Johnny was sick with a bad cold, he
did not sound a bit off key.  As for the comment about the people that
bought seat tickets instead of floor, it was directed towards the people
SITTING down, NOT because we bought seat tickets.  I think the guys would
be well appreciative of the people in the seats as well as the ones on the
floor.  Some people were not as fortunate as others to get floor tickets as
others, so please get your quotes correct before you go quoting them.  As
for any new songs there was only one and that was Thousand Words.  All the
rest were from Hold Me Up, SSCW, and ABNG.  I would of liked to hear some
of their earlier stuff as well, but I shouldn't complain.  The show was a
HUGE, HUGE SUCCESS!!!!!!  I thought it was great that Johnny waived the
camera man out a couple of times to shoot the wild fans in front of the
stage.  They were really rockin!  As for Robby, I thought for sure that he
would have been bare footed.  Instead, he had socks on.  Mike,  what can I
say, the way he pounds on his drums really gets the fans moving.  Hey does
anyone know if that dude with all the Edge stickers stuck to his body win
the expose the Edge contest.  I think that should win, for not only was he
wairing them he was handing them out to the people in the stands and on the
floor.  Everyone else that I saw had made banners or had on Edge t-shirts.
But like I said that is all that I saw.  If anyone saw anthing different I
would like to hear it.  I would also like to read everyone elses review
about the show.  So please write
