I had great seats in the dress circle area, pretty close near the stage. The band was great again. The only thing that really disappointed me at first was the crowds desire to not stand up at the beginning. I was the only one in my section to stand up in the first part of the show(I think I forced others to somewhat by their inability to see past me..haha) Steve Augeri tried very hard several times to get everyone up and at em'. Most of them did, thankfully. Neal Schon excited us with his guitar jam while laying on the floor, and of course he did the behind the head playing. Jonathan Cain has a great voice and I hope he gets to sing some leads on the next album. Like the night in San Francisco, they got 3 encores, 2 of which they played. Ross didnt do any of his funny faces, maybe he was tired (who knows). The thing that I got a kick out of was these guys on the floor section that were in the 2nd or 3rd row. They kept bowing their heads and arms to Neal Schon, to let him know he was the MASTER of the guitar. Everytime he played a guitar solo, they were playing their air-guitars right along with him. I might add the whole thing was being filmed professionally and maybe we will see some videos or archives sometime in the future. It was another great show, and I had a wonderful time. I missed Perry when they started singing " I'll be Alright Without You" or one of those slow ones. All in all though it was SOOOOO worth seeing. I can't wait for the new album and another tour.
