I am a big fan of the first encore song being a rotating rarity, and am therefore thrilled to see Wild is the Wind get played there!
ReplyDeleteJon certainly seems to look after the European audiences a bit, and I think it dates back to the level of support the band had outside the US during the mid-1990s. Jon has repeatedly commented in interviews about These Days album being so high in the charts in the UK and at the same time nowhere to be found in the US.
It is also great to see Love's the Only Rule get a more regular spot again, as well as Superman Tonight.
but it does go to show there doesn't need to be significant change to keep the die-hards happy. And I'm sure any non-die-hards who saw this show would have gone home happy!
"Jon has repeatedly commented in interviews about These Days album being so high in the charts in the UK and at the same time nowhere to be found in the US."
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he commented about that much. I actually tend to think he comments on TD entirely too little, and always has. Annoying as hell in the sense that they have mainly ignored it and not just in the US.
But yeah, speaking from experience as a teen during the early and mid-90s in the States, it was a terrible time to be a BJ fan. Anthony Kuzminski describes it to a T in his blog The Screen Door. Taints the truly special memories of hearing TD (and for me KTF too) for the first time.
