me either. and here i am at hotel in suidobashi without seeing anyone. Guess i must eat all the obama cookies myself

[Dreamline]

I guess that was my fault.  My friend said the place is called Ballpark Cafe, but it was actually Baseball Cafe.  Sorry!

Still, we got to see one hell of a show!

I'm talking about the bootleg here, but...

This has to be as good a show as the band has done since 2000, and there's been some great ones. One thing I'm curious about with this Japanese tour is whether any older fans/more casual fans complained about the old material being marginalized in favor of C.D. songs?

This really is a pivotal time for the band, where the new really has come to the forefront. From the boot, it sounds like the new stuff went down very well.

[jarmo]

That thing can be said about any concert.

I'm sure some might prefer them to play more old songs and/or their favorite old song(s), but they also know that the tour is in support of the latest album.


There's no guarantee that by performing less new songs you'll get other songs in their place...

No.
