k so that was like, best hits with new filler.

i dont know what new material stood out really.

i mean it was fun, but it seemed like the old good stuff with clowns in the middle. literally.

[-evil-duerr-]

realy wanted to go to this, oh well...

i heard great things about it, but that kinda sucks he's still using lots of his old tricks.

Wicked Time!!!

Needed a show like that!

His new material amounted to about 45 min and he thought that would be too short a set for everyone as headliner

That aside, he had the dilemma of not doing his older money routines, which would have been the equivalent of led zep not doing stairway to heaven

and with new fans finding out about him on net wanting to see o-face, etc live for the first time....
not an easy position to be in, so he made the judgment call to merge old with the new

Usian Bolt trains just as hard as David Beckham and both work their ass off to put on a show and win, but only one can entertain you for more than a few minutes a day

Relm is in that same realm, like Q-bert, where you're expending all your energy in a short time with most people used to 60 to 90 min concerts, them not quite grasping the fact that these acts are more like sprinters than marathon runners - and they are not as appreciative of these acts as they would be for a house dj that plays 20 records in 2 hours because they don't take time to gauge the actual effort

Mike thought that 45 min would result in more dissatisfaction than exists now

I'm glad he made the call

My friend had someone bail on her so I got a free ticket! Im glad I went. Got to see a lot of friends :)

The show was alright I was hoping for all new tracks but the oldies were good.
