    Wasted Reprise into Life Wasted. Albany, NY 5-12-06.

    It was amazing to finally hear them live. The anticipation was unbearable and I went nuts when the started playing (Just as the rest of the sold out Pepsi Arena did).

    Looking back on it, it was amazing. But I was really hoping for an OF THE GIRL intro. That would have been real special.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...

    Love Boat Capitan, HOB Chicago 05, amazing opener and I was 5 persons deep from Stone.

    It was hot, sweaty, smokey, and personal, and I had a cold beer in my hand.

    Black, St Louis July 8th 1998

    Great Solo from McCready, Eddie's voice was ON that day. Sent Chills down my spine... A VERY close 2nd was Indifference with Ben Harper at Madison Square Garden July 8th 2003, it brought tears to my eyes.

    I guess I will make it 3 in a row. Release on 9/14/95. The band came out with the lights down and a bunch of candles in the background. It was really sweet because they started out slow and slowly raised the lights. Still gives me chills thinking about it. Best opener ever.

    Strangely enough, it was my favorite song at the time, Act of Love, in Austin, Texas at Southpark Meadows, 1995. I couldn't believe it. It was such a powerful experience. It was what I would expect free-fall to be like.

    To hear Eddie singing Neil's parts, aside from RITFW, seemed so fitting.

    Mine was MFC in Prague this year..

    And the feeling?

    Hmm..

    I was a little bit disappointed, cause I was hoping to hear one of my favourite songs.. not that MFC is bad.. but still they have many better songs :)

    wasted reprise. I feel disapointed because iwas expecting a decent opener. release would be perfect but oceans,long road, of the girl would be also good.

    Well, it's only 40 seconds...what was the next one? You consider it as a pre-opener :)
