--- HA at John Rzeznik’s immediate “I knew you’d come through” when the audience finishes a line during “Broadway.” Apparently the line about a young man in an old man’s bar is relevant. Hahahahaha: “I might have to sit down for a bit. I hurt my foot. How did I hurt my foot?” Helluva start!!!
--- “Over and Over” is infectious!! This could be a special night.
--- Hahahaha at “so you know this one” for “Slide.” “You’ve gotta sing it with me.” Awww at a couple putting their arms around each other at “put your arms around me.” His voice is atrocious, which goes to show how that’s far from the most important thing for a live performer. It’s about the same as vast content knowledge is for a teacher.
--- HA: “You all give me hope. The other night in Woodstock, man, they must’ve been on the brown acid, ‘cause they were bumming me out…Get off that phone. Stop ratting me out…Let’s enjoy ourselves for an hour.” More than an hour!!!
--- Aww: (1) The pink-haired guitarist comes over to us during “Big Machine.” (2) Rzeznik’s simple “thank you” when we recognize “Here Is Gone.” (3) The black balloons for “Black Balloon.” Way more than “Poker.” Hahahaha, he ends flinging a balloon!! “Saratoga, come on.”
--- Cool change of pace with Pink leading “January Friend.”
--- “Yeah, I Like You” is a nice breeze song. It doesn’t require Rzeznik to strain his voice, which really helps. Lol at Pink randomly flinging his hands up. He’s got such good vibes.
--- Heh, “Going Crazy” is one of their calmer songs. It continues the positive trend vocally. Really cool rhythm shifts in the back half. My favorite discovery so far!!! HA: “that was a good time.”
--- “Lucky Star”: “this one is super old.” From 1993.
--- Heh, after Pink’s even-worse vocals the previous song, Rzeznik sounds great.
--- “Miracle Pill” has cool keyboard and cackle sections. The second effort after the song and the Johnny Depp charisma kills!!!
--- “So Alive”: totally different kind-of-R+B vibe, and he sounds great?!?!
--- “Sympathy”: HA, “we figured we’d bore you with an acoustic in the middle of a rock show.” NOT BORED!!!
--- “Lost”: “So I’d like to discuss the future of music. F AI……I’m a hypocrite though because I have this old school AI where we can hear percussionist without having to pay them.” Grateful for the reset towards the end. Heh, “ladies and gentleman, let’s hear it for Tapey.”
--- “Come To Me” has a satisfying insistence to it. An earned arc!!!
--- “Name”!!!! ALIVEEEEEEE. Hahaha at “I’m soaking it all in,” all the interruptions, the instruments, and the sincere soar through the melody.
--- “Long Way Down”: perfect hard-rock counter after “Name.” Has cred.
--- “Run All Night”: HA: “We’re going to do a new one for you. Just pretend you know it.” Solid ballad -- especially the lyrics!
--- Awww: This girl clearly knows this song most others don’t, so he throws his pick at her mid song without losing a kick of momentum!!!! “Well, now you know it.”
--- “Dizzy [Everything You Are]”: ooh, I think it’s different than the album version!!
--- “Life’s A Message”: Heh: “This is a song about life.” Ooh, Pink’s vocals are much better than previous songs.
--- Same goes for “Bringing on the Light.” Good for him! “It was a place we used to go, right up the road from Buffalo”: awww, in spirit, for Michelle Maxey!!
--- Sax Jerry from O.A.R. joins for “Give a Little Bit.” These two girls nearly on the lawn giving it their ALL.
--- Heh: “You guys know me and Rob, so we don’t have to play that game.”
--- Thank you for making today a “Better Day”!!! CRESCENDO. Sounds great.
--- “Let Love In”: HA at Rob’s sincerity. Woo at the chorus and the build. The fact that he can make fun of stepping up on his Good Charlotte emo bar” mid song without breaking stride or momentum is incredible!!!!
--- “Won’t Back Down”: I want the night to continue.
--- “Iris”!!!!! Does. Brody. Proud.
Grade: A+
