Maybe the "first night" excitement of the Tabernacle back then set everyone off, but I liked this venue AND presentation better.

If you think being respectfully quiet during songs and not standing up (in a sit-down theater) to block others' view equals laziness or a lack of enthusiasm, then I hope we aren't near each other at future shows.

I've been a fan more than ten years and I already thought that I'm not gonna see him alive. Only thing bothering was the audience (part of it, actually) who probably thought that they are at the Braves game. I rather listen Tom than some suckers who are whistling, yelling, cheering, shouting in every other second.

The same thing happened at the Tabernacle show 2 yrs ago, line ran all the way around the block and back to the ticket booth. They held the show an hour then too. The Fox was actually better due to the card scanners, the people looking up your tickets by hand according to last name really slowed it all down last time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063717262086496432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681676.post-36902196342382280572008-07-07T21:58:00.000+02:002008-07-07T21:58:00.000+02:00Grazie Eyeball...best Waits sight on the webus dis...Grazie Eyeball...best Waits sight on the web<BR/>us disciples will carry on the torch.<BR/>check out:<BR/>http://www.myspace.com/squidworksmusicSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193751630121317917noreply@blogger.com
