Jon's voice is still amazing. Sounds like he could sing another 50 years!
Chris was enthusiastic and fun to watch. Both Jon & Chris seemed to be having a blast!
Alan was solid as ever and still has those great, emphatic facial expressions when he plays.
Billy is a great addition and his presence seems to reinvigorate the band.
The same goes for Igor, who was very animated.
Steve seemed... well the best word would be "inconvenienced" by the whole affair. Wherever it is he'd rather be, he should do himself and us a favor and go there. I don't say this as a flip remark. He's one of my favorite musicians ever, but Thursday night he seemed like a man who had built his own purgatory. It's a shame.

Great show.
The CGI animation that's projected over the band is very well done. A terrific compliment to the music. Can't help but wonder what it would look like as a rear projection on a larger stage.
Igor and Alan are having alot of fun back there. Igor actually reached way over and started banging on jon's stuff at one point.
It would be nice if steve connected with the rest of the band every now and then. That said, the man RAWKS *HARD* when he wants to.
Billy's "Cinema" was pretty darn cool.
Um, Jon and Chris were wonderful. They always are.
Great version of "And you and I".
Say... Did the other shows feature confetti (sp?) at Awaken's crescendo?
Oh yeah... no CTTE. (didn't really miss it, cause "9 voices" sounded great)
