Great, lots going on in this version , would need a closer shot to see Eds smile when Dave mentions Edwards grades, second what did Dave say to the cameraman I can`t pick up what he`s saying pointing to the woman and finally do I hear smoke on the waters` riff near the end?
I'll tell you honestly I wouldn't want to work for Dave. Maybe some of these people really are chimp-stupid but Dave has zero patience. Also I don't think it's doing the show any favors to be having a public argument with a crew member or making it a point to embarrass him.Comment

Back at the Tropicana, a great show tonight.
Setlist included Full Bug, HAIL, Women In Love and Cradle along with the usual standards.
Met up with Mr and Mrs Guwapo before the show, Pete's Brother paid a visit to my section to say Hi. We were the only three Army folks there, I believe.
I hate fuckers who wear the rings logo.
I've got some pics and will post them upon my return to the homeland.
I must say this has been an exhausting 4 days. Body is still on eastern time, but I've been partying on Vegas time. Good times!Comment

They don't care, they're not organized, and I'm sure they had loads of these shirts already printed and they're NOT giving them away to kids in Nicaragua until they absolutely have to.Comment

I'm still trying to figure out Dave's temper tantrums on this tour. I've watched a lot of the 2007-08 tour footage in recent years and I don't recall even one outburst by Dave towards a roadie. On this tour, he's blasting one on almost every gig !!
I've speculated that maybe it's just Dave acting like a rock legend bad ass --- but I'm starting to think he has a very caustic relationship with this road crew and it's not getting better.
It's not really in Dave's nature to belittle the roadies in front of an audience --- leave that immature BS up to true assholes like Gene Simmons or Axl Rose.
My gut feeling tells me this road crew just doesn't get along with Dave and often ignores his orders --- and Dave gets frustrated because he wants a tightly-scripted show to maintain quality control. I think he's lost patience with the roadies and because he can't fire them until 11pm on June 26 his only recourse is to lash out at them during the shows. I've had the experience of being "the boss" in charge of lazy, unmotivated dipshits who only wanna collect their paychecks and go home so I can empathize with Dave. However, I think these public insults during gigs is rubbing some fans the wrong way and may hurt ticket sales for the subsequent legs.
The only solution seems to be fire this crew and hire a new one once the tour resumes --- or maybe Dave needs to attend anger management classes during his summer break LOL.

Do you think any of the band gambled at all while in Vegas? If so, would they go to a special high roller closed-off area? I can't imagine being in Las vegas without a little time at a blackjack table.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.
