[UPDATES] April 19, 2016 ? Foro Sol, Mexico City

[Zak Alexander]

Anyone notice his voice is better than any point from 2011 to 2014?

It sounds like there is more behind it. 

He was never going to sound like 1992 again, and that was not a realistic wish.  But I was so down on the 2011-2014 shows because he just had no power behind it.  I was in my iTunes last night and called up some 2012 shows.  They are painful and depressing.  Still boggles my mind they put that DVD out with him sounding like that.

Very much hope there is a DVD live album from this tour though.  More prefer the live album though, as I'm more of an audio guy.

JUST DON'T MESS WITH IT THIS TIME

I do agree with you with your points, it's hard to admit but true. I saw them in 2012 twice and after Chinese, wttj, brownstone and its so easy he just drifted off.. and like you said no power. I was really surprised that they released that DVD. Why on earth they didn't release one in either 2006 or 2010 I don't know because his voice was fire. I preferred his 1993 voice to 1992. That last show in argentina blew my mind, the amount of power he had in his voice was insane and then obviously go back to the early days where his voice was unbelievable. Now I'm really happy with where he's at. I honestly didn't mind him between 2011 to 2014 because to me he's like my idol but I admit that was probably his worst stint.

People record the shows for various reasons and I think it's kind of stupid to make fun of them when most of the people on here are looking for the best youtube video around.

Now, I do think it's dumb to go to a show and record the whole thing while holding your phone (unless there's some monetary benefit out of it and that's the only thing you care about).

But for example, when I go, I usually record a song, maybe two, and then I ask my wife to do one. That's it. I want to document the moment for me personally, almost like the old days when we put photos in photo albums. (Showing my age here.)

I actually have some pretty bad ass hi def stuff that I've never released - just songs here and there and nothing rare like Vegas 2000 - but certainly stuff that's way better than what's out there. I do it because it's something I want to enjoy every now and then and it helps me relive that night. Especially since I'm usually half in the tank by the time the band goes on. Heh.

Anyway, my two cents.

great pic!

just wondering...but what is the purpose/added value of a second keyboard player? Is it to add some sound effects during the show or so? I really have no idea. Is it a "fulltime show job" or only few moments during the show she needs to do something? (same question was valid for Pitman in fact)

[Eduardo]

I think his voice is amazing, and I was REALLY impressed with the way he sang Estranged last night. That was REALLY REALLY good. Are there more videos of this song on YouTube?

With that being said, I think he should use more his rasp on Civil War. It's not sounding right to me, because this song's heavy parts need that agressiveness. That is extended to YCBM aswell

[Sosso]

I assume that they are not playing There Was A Time because the band is still working on it. In other words: They don't peform it until it's perfect.

I was asking the same thing a few days ago and was flamed for it...

good luck

Wondered that myself.

I think this setlist will be the basic setlist for the summer tour.  Only expect minor changes.

But they probably won't happen, if at all, until the layoff between the second Coachella weekend and Detroit on 6/23.

I just hope things don't come down to 'Coma' or 'There Was A Time'.  Because that is some straight up 'Sophie's Choice' shit, as far as I'm concerned.

[Thorned Rose]

I seriously hope Coma is a staple. It's a great song, just a little long I guess for a live setting maybe?

It is definitely one of their 10-15 best for sure.

I think they'll play TWAT in the spot of another CD song, like This I love for example

Anyway, I hope they try other stuff too, like Yesterdays. And if I may dream, Breakdown and Locomotive
