Funny you should say that, LK - from where I was sitting at MSG on 1/18 (Keith's side, midcourt, up in the rafters), I could barely hear Charlie at all.
That said, from watching that show on DVD as well as Rio, it's pretty obvious that Charlie is playing like a man possessed this tour. In addition to his usual solid self, he's just beating the snot out of the drums in a way I've never heard him do before. Especially at the end of most songs - I love those little flourishes he does.
I've never seen him smile so much, either - he's having a blast. "Good to be here, good to be anywhere", indeed.
Go Charlie Boy.
