I like this stripped down version much better than the countrified version on the last leg.  I'm really thrilled about the 23 songs.  Who ever thought we'd see that again?  We get so much more when JM does it "his" way. Five more days!!!!

I think hes trying way to hard to make his voice sounds gritty, it sounds real real bad.

Don't think he has to try. It's years of smoking. I like it, but I can see why some would not.



I love John's voice, but I do agree that he was trying too hard on Walk Tall, actually ruining the song.  His words are so important to me and he made them impossible to understand to anyone who didn't already know them. I don't want to end up thinking of him like Bob Dylan, love the man's work, but couldn't understand a damn word he said.

Personally, I don't like the hair at all.

I missed all of the presales last year due to vacation, and I guess it will happen again this year, and I'll only be gone a few days 8/3 - 8/7 without computer access. If anyone can help, please let me know.  Thank you.

Of course, as usual, I will be for a few days during that time.

Just a thought, but don't you think the biggest part of this whole thing might be the language barrier?  I saw this tour near the beginning and thought it was the best that I have seen.  And this was my 28th show over 17 years. But a very big part of this show had to do with the songs and the stories behind them and this might have been a very difficult task to present with the same effect to a foreign audience. There were funny and touching stories but the language issues might have made it difficult for JM and the fans both.  It was hard enough to listen to the stories at my shows with folks screaming out their requests.  Imagine trying to tell a story or joke to someone who may know your songs, but not understand the conversation you are having. It seems that is a big problem with the movie at these recent shows, and we all know how unlikely it is for JM to change the entire format of a show during a leg of a tour.  Cut out most of the stories and conversation and you're left with a much shorter show. As much as I loved this new show, it seems that the European audiences were expecting more of the greatest hits shows from the past 20 years, and it's hard to blame them when it's been so long. 

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
