I saw quite a few great comments on FB about his Concert last night(except for no encore).

For the NS concert I think. All the St. John's ones are for the most part negative.

Ex:
*Just seen him, disappointed. Never came out for an encore, a good night out, but not what I expected.

*John, I'm a Hoosier living in St. John's who got to see your show as a belated Father's Day gift. You are one of my major musical idols, and tonight, you made a lot of your fans angry with a lack of an encore. Also, how is it the No Better Than This Tour, when you're only playing one song from the new album? I love your music, John, but I kind of wish I could get my money back.

*Saw the concert last nite it was great loved it but dissappointed there was no encore.we cheered,clapped and even stampped our feet but no encore .

*What's up with NO ENCORE in St. John's, NL on Friday night!!!! Maybe Saturday night we'll get one!!?

It's really too bad. The venue had nothing to do with it and VERY apologetic. All his other shows seem to have postive reviews but the consensus in St. John's is widely negative (maybe tonight well be better). I think the main issue lies in that it was his people who encouraged people back after they started exiting the venue making it seem as though there would be an encore. Then eveyone booed him for 5 minutes or so when nothing happened. His people were also trying to delete photos on people's cell phones! I watched it happen several times.

Encore is a standard that shows respect for your audience. He did not do that, he also had his own security going around deleting people's pictures. It was ridiculous! Who does that? By far the poorest preformance I have seen to date and I have seen a lot of them.

No encore, everyone starts to file out of the stadium then his security guys near the stage start clapping their hands to get the remaining crowd pumped up and everyone comes back in, but nothing...people were REALLY mad. Now don't get me wrong the show wasn't bad but his lack of interaction with the audience really put a damper on things.
