I'm curious
I don't like his voice much actually, well, what I heard which I got to admit isn't much.
But everyone says the shows are great, so I'll see (wouldn't have for the full price..hell even PJ I'd think about it many times before paying that)
other question actually: is taping 'allowed'? (might as well do it if I'm there even if it's not particularly good..well, the Crowded House ones weren't bad so..)
People last night weren't standing at all til the encore, when people rushed to the front.
There was no rigorous check for taping equipment or cameras. There's an announcement saying specifically no PHONES for taking photos or taping as they interfere with the equipment, but never any mention of using taping gear or a proper camera...

I'm probably going to regret asking, but did everyone stayed stupidly glued to their seat the whole show or was there some life at least during the electric set?
(thanks to Rob selling me his now spare at bargain price, I'm going too )
edit, just in case I wasn't clear enough: were people standing?
The crowd were a bit wet I thought (no standing up or even moving really - I was rocking out in my seat though!) but I suppose that is an indication of the age bracket of the majority of the people there. The encore was F^&kin Up and I essentially just walked up to the front and stood leaning on the stage for that - I have some cool photos and will post them later.
I bought the program (all pictures by Danny Clinch and Eric Johnson (PJ's old tour manager who went over to Neil)) and Ben Keith who plays guitar/organ/piano and a whole heap of other things (and has been playing with Neil since he recorded Harvest in 1970!) has this awesome t-shirt which on the back says:
"Either you rock or you suck"
This is officially my new mantra!!
Sandra I think you are going to be frustrated - but given that he's not your favourite maybe you'll be alright. Based on last night's show it should be excellent for taping - just gotta stop those idiots yelling crap out inbetween songs.

mm... how pissed people around me are going to be you think.. :D [size=-2](I HATE sitting for those who don't know)[/size]
anyway, off to start the weekend with Babs, Helen and Jamie!
recording is ok, not great, on the quiet side for some reason, especially Neil's voice not coming out too well.
Will try to upload it this later, unless something betters comes out before...
