oh my god!!!! what a great show!!!! was that the best show of the tour? maybe... i donno... its kind of hard to tell... but it was definitely one of the best shows in the tour , if not the best. i was really happy with the view , the sound , the crowd and the setlist. they played 2 songs they havent played before in the tour inc. a completely new one. what else can i ask? this time i had great tickets from waste to 6th row in the middle , just between thom & jonny. i had a really great view of all the band , and it was really close to the stage. the sound was really good too. i didnt feel a difference in the sound from the 1st show. and this time the crowd was really good too. all the people in the front rows stood up for mostly the entire show (except for the people on the 1st row...) and the atmosphere was really great. this time thom and the band was really in a great talking mood. thom joked quite a lot with the crowd , and also jonny talked quite a few times. and for the 1st time they played "knives out". i am not a huge fan of this song , but still it was a single. the band fucked up the beginning of the song and had to start all over again. actually there were quite a lot of fuck ups during the show which were quite funny. thom started playing pyramid songs instead one of the new ones. and there were quite more fuck ups which i dont remember right now. also a new song was debuted. 2+2 = 5. its quite an interesting song. starts like a slow ballad and then developed into a fast guitar song. thom said this was really a new song... thom was also in a really "talky" mood. he joked with the crowd a lot. he said that we dont have to stand up , we can sit down if we want to , they really didnt mind... there was also a celine dion joke (something like that shes going to be a guest star in the next show...). you and whose army which was really good , was dediced to george bush and his stupid star-wars program or something like that. i also really liked Just , which was yet again , worked out really good. SS was played very well too, as well as all the other songs. i was really happy that the band choose to play a 3rd encore. Talk Show Host was played really briliantly and sounded somewhat more "energetic" than the last times it was played. in the end of the show it seemed like the band wanted to go back for a 4th encore. i am not sure what exactly happened backstage. the light were off for a few seconds after they were turned on. but then they went on again for good. i am not sure if the band was teasing with the crowd , or they tried to play another song and they werent allowed , or maybe it was just a technical mistake with the lights. anyway , for conclusion, great show , great crowd , one of the best shows in the tour so far. looking forward for tonights show. i have 6th row tickets in the middle yet again. yaron
