Went to the show. Here are a couple of observations:
The setlist did not change from the summer tour; except Paul played a small snipet of Willie Nelson´s ´Crazy´ before he went into ´Still Ctazy´.
The band sounded great, especially for being off since the end of July.
The crowd started off pretty quiet as Paul commented on the ´tepid response´. However, things picked up as the show went along and the joint was really rockn´ by the final song ´Late in the Evening´. This was a strange crowd; mabye because of the high ticket prices, or the venue being in a casino/hotel. I suspect there were beteween 2500-3000 in attendance.
Paul also apologized for missing the show in July and thanked us for our ´loyalty´ in coming back to the make-up show.
Paul was in fine voice; especially on Duncan...he honestly sounded 25 again. The new songs were highlights for me, especially the acoustic version of ´Wartime Prayers´. Also enjoyed the re-worked ´you´re the one´ and ´Diamonds´. Great show...here´s hoping he comes back to the NY, NJ, Philadelphia area after the UK tour!!!
