Fool to Cry is the weak link of the show imo, and in the video posted seemed like a buzz kill for a majority of the crowd.
Almost would prefer the more up-tempo Emotional Rescue w/falsetto (God forbid), but nah....at least Fool has a cool '70's groove going for it.
It was a highlight, and people went crazy when Mick stopped singing and towards the ending, as we also can hear in the YT-video..
I guess that depends if you like the song in the first place.
Not one of my favorites by a long shot, and probably the weakest track on Black and Blue IMO.
I meant that the audience loved the version they played yesterday. People were ecstatic.
I understand what you meant, and probably the video I watched didn't give the full impression of the entire audience reaction ( the one I watched showed several people standing w/arms crossed looking a bit emotionless).
But as a personal preference, I thought it was the weak link of the show, and there were probably others who felt the same. Not everybody LOVES Fool to Cry, and there's a good chance that many casual fans don't even know it. Other than that small bump in the road, overall the show looked and sounded like a fantastic show especially opening with SFM- but my opinion is simply based on youtube video and reviews I've read.
Yeah, I was there, Hairball. I'll let others confirm it instead.

I hear you, Björn. You're not the only one... And do agree somewhat. Which takes some guts on a fan forum I guess...

What a great solo by Wayne Perkins on the studio version.
Love this song, Till The Next Goobye also by the way...
The guitar solo is the saving grace and highlight on the studio version of Fool to Cry, and yes Till the Next Time is a fantastic song.
And even though there's similarities between the two, it's really the superior percursor to Fool. Maybe/hopefully they'll slip it into an upcoming setlist in place of Fool - more surprises are always nice.

They shut off all the freaking cell towers, or they block periscope. Friday I'm coming armed. Great show, Keith was on fire, you could hear Darryl, Mick tore it up.
God forbid something happens. What if there is an emergency situation and cell towers are off?

I really wish BV would delete all reviews made by dickheads who were not at the show, but are basing their worthless drivel on shitty youtube clips recorded on shitty phones.
If you weren't at the gig.......... STFU please.

TestifyThe criticism should be motivated, I have already asked several times, where Charlie was wrong and I had no answer, so I still do not understand this criticism.Quote

Is it just me but the show the other night in Dublin and now again tonight, Charlies drums sound very weak to me.
Sorry to say but they need a new drummer.
I love you Charlie but it's time to call it a day.
Sounds like you need to get your hearing tested for starters.What a lot of old tosh!
When Keth was criticized in some concerts it was because of his mistakes, but I did not notice Charlie's mistakes.

I've only just had the opportunity to sit down and watch some youtube vids of last night. It certainly looks from my screen like they played better than in Dublin and probably better than last year in general. I still think they played better at Hyde Park a few years back but it's hard to tell given the more pro production given to Sweet Summer Sun.
I'm hoping they'll be really HOT by the time I get to see them in Southampton. (Same goes for the weather.)

How bout if you STFU. I’m not going to be referred to as a “dickhead” because I have comments or feedback based on what I see online. And no one else who comments deserves that either.
Maybe we should ask BV to delete comments made by dickheads or @#$%& such as yourself.
People are entitled to form opinions and comment on them without having been at the show. And if you don’t like it - here’s a brilliant idea - DON’T F***ing read it.

You can't judge on a YT video
At some point you most certainly can judge a musical performance based on a recording. Pro shot vid? Yep, sbd audio? Yep, audience recording using pro field mics? Yep, YouTube shot on a crap phone? Kind of. Now you are never going to catch the vibe in the room that day of a YouTube video, even if proshot, and that’s where most couch listeners fall short in trying to make a critique, but to say someone can’t make an honest assessment of how a band is playing from a purely musical perspective is just false, imho anyway. It’s the old argument...the tape doesn’t reflect what went down in the room that night. It never does...
