I should also add that, as promised, we had a great karaoke afterparty for Amerah's birthday.
I'd love to tell you all about how it went and which songs were sung, but you know what they say about what happens in Vegas...

TMBJon wrote:One technical mistake happened at the beginning of this. The video playing was from There's No Going Home when Al was yelling at the room service guy because the Pat Sajak head had no gooey cream filling and it suddenly cut off. It was clear that they were all expecting a few more seconds to get ready, and Rubén started signaling to Jim to just start playing the song.
Yep, I wasn't sure because they played it off so well, but it was definitely glitch the first night, because last night they ended up playing the clip to the end, with Japanese guy tossing grapes from his belly button They just taste better that way. :drool:

Also, Ruben's keyboards weren't working during "Fat" and Al takes his pitch from Ruben, which is why the song was a little flat. Just minor stuff though, they were very pleased with how the show went, considering that was the first time they played it through in it's entirety! :oo

Sorry no pictures, the internet here SUCKS. I may add them at a later date. If so I will share that news here. In the meantime, google search and pretend the pictures are mine, or look at Jackie's facebook as that's pretty much what my pictures will look like except mine will be more blurry and zoomed out much further.

Also, ignore any :wordcrimes: I will fix typos and grammar at a later date.

I know this show is old news now, but I will be posting my thoughts and feelings about this show later today. Fair warning, they probably won't go into a lot of detail about the setlist itself, but hopefully it will still be fun to read. :accordion:

That's OK, I think the guys already covered it just fine, there's no need for repetition :)

Great reviews, Dave and Jon! I'm liking this setlist more and more by the minute. I absolutely can't wait to hear the Unplugged section.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.
