It's getting painful to watch these clips but still digging them....Comment

Fuck that noise. There are great nights and ok nights. Even the ok nights have moments of brilliance.Comment

Well...I said it in other threads but I might as well say it here too. Dave sounds like he just can't keep up with China Town. There are moments when the band just gets way out in front of him and it sounds like he's struggling to keep the pace.
I'm not sure that HBSD would be the way to go either. Those are some pretty rapid fire lyrics, and I fear it might just exacerbate the problem.
Maybe give it a go...but if it doesn't work the first time around just dump it.Originally posted by perilouspete

What baffles me is how good other songs sound.
Dave pulls off "I'll Wait" pretty fucking good every time around, although his voice often cracks during the chorus when he reaches up for "I'lll Wait", and "Noooo Way..."
This whole discussion makes my stomach ache....Originally posted by perilouspete

I was so thrilled to hear I'll Wait. It's been one on my favorites since 10th. grade. I had to play it every morning before I went to school. I can still remember my poor dad trying to get some sleep from working all night telling me to lower the stereo in the morning. I finally had to quit jamming in the AM, I did feel sorry for him. My dad is a saint I swear! He even drove me to the show on friday, something he always did for us when we were kids. Some things never change!Comment

The new material, in general, is not sounding all that great live. The possible exception is 'She's The Woman'.
'Chinatown' is a little too busy......The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Comparatively speaking, I think Dave is going through what Mickey Mantle went through in '68. Shots that would almost clear the park began falling shy of the warning track. I think Dave probably has a good ten more years of recording some great music, but I think the sun is setting a bit on his live gig. I hope the band sees the actual world on this tour because their work pace dictates the next tour would be somewhere around 2016.Comment
