really good except there were 2 narks right next to me and they thought i was smoking pot so they kept staring at me and were generally being annoying.
Note to narks: dont go to a concert as a 45 year old couple and have the "wife" try and pull off a lame Kool Ade dye job and overdone makeup. Also having a flashlight is a giveaway
The concert was really good. Amazing lighting too! Just wish the crowd was a little more excited. The crowd vibe was really good at the end though

i was floor centre 17th row back. I found the whole arena to be dead until the classics and then finally we had a concert. Even then though the crowd was reserved.

Just got home from the after-party at the Funhaus after the DM concert. No complaints, however I still had a better time during the December 1, 2005 probably based on the setlist and crowd (It all depends on what section of the crowd you're in). I was row 38 on the floors. Too damn tired to write a review so I won't. Here's what they played tonight as compared to the December 1st. show.
tonight's show (set 13)
SET 13
> Intro
> A Pain That I'm Used To
> A Question Of Time
> Suffer Well
> Precious
> Walking In My Shoes
> Stripped
> Home
> It Doesn't Matter Two
> In Your Room
> Nothing's Impossible
> John The Revelator
> I Feel You
> Behind The Wheel
> World In My Eyes
> Personal Jesus
> Enjoy The Silence
encore
> Shake The Disease
> Photographic
> Never Let Me Down Again
rating 7.5/10
I definitely had a better time because of the super classics that were played on Decmber 1, 2005 and the AWESOME vibe.

wouldve loved to have heard Eeverything Counts (I saw the rehersal for it online and I loved the revised version), Sinner In Me, and Policy of Truth and I Want It All. but thats about it. I still preffer Photographic, Stripped, In Your Room and STD to any of the ones from Dec 1st not featured in last nights show.

I was there, and I know Nick and Trigger went too.
T'was my 1st time seeing them live. I knew I was going to be a bit disappointed when I went online the day b4 the show and saw what they played in 'Set 1' 6 mos. ago and compared it to what they were playing recently. Also a bit bitter that I actually spent $100 for a concert (I've never even come close to paying this much for a concert ever). Was praying for a miracle to hear "Everything Counts" or "Policy of Truth", but no luck . Their rendition of "Shake the Disease" was worth the price of my ticket alone, tho. I was finally able to remember the piano riff in my head this morning when I woke up- I've been trying to remember how it went ever since.
The video screens were amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Dave's prancing around on stage.
Boo to jon jon's woman Katherine for having 2nd row seats.

It took me a minute to figure out what a 'nark' was ('is Nark a Canadian word for idiot?').... til I realized u misspelled it: Narc (short for narcotics). Just an FYI.
