OK, I guess I'm the first one to get home since I'm just 10 minutes from the colisseum.
Once again, awesome show. I'd post the same review for Worcester, but I don't feel like it. However, I have to point out that this setlist is becoming TOO PREDICTABLE. I seriously think that they should really rotate the songs, because the setlist is pretty much the same show after show. Not only that, but when you have a catalog of KICK ASS LIVE SONGS, why stick to the same old hits we've been hearing a countless number of times on the radio. Some of them really get the crowd pumped up, and others just don't do it as good. I'm dissapointed that they said that there were going to be surprises, but the only surprises were 'Take Love' (nice song, btw), and 'Dragon Attack'. Now, I don't mean to bash 'Dragon Attack', but these guys have a handful of songs that sound FAR A LOT BETTER live than 'Dragon Attack', but instead they had to pick the one that sounds like 'Another One Bites The Dust', which is already on the setlist.
P.S. New York SUCKS at enjoying rock concerts. When I went to Worcester, the majority of people on the higher levels stood up for most of the show, but here in NY they decided to rather sit on their asses for 2 hours. This is not the first time I've seen this happening, it also happened a couple of years ago when I went to see Aerosmith.

Nope, and neither is "I Want It All".
"I Want It All" kicks "I Want To Break Free's" ass all the way to China.

Damn it..:-S
I'm starting to think that the only ones who make middle aged New Yorkers stand on their feet are 'The Who' and 'The Stones'.
For everybody else they just sit on their asses.

Thanks very much for the review Mr. Jingles. I wrestled all day with going to this show tonight, but passed after considering the weather, the venue (Nassau Coliseum is one of the most depressing places to see anything, and Long Island isn't exactly NYC), and the possibility that the show would come fairly close to mirroring the NJ show (save for a song or two, it sounds about what happened).
I'm sorry to hear that the crowd may not have been that into it, but I really think if it were a different (that is, actual) NYC venue, it might have been a different story. Also a little disappointed to hear that they seem to be sticking to the same (or pretty close to the same) setlist, at least so far, Really thought they would have pulled out a stop or two, considering it was Danny Miranda's backyard.
I was still kicking thoughts around about Philly, but not so sure at this time. Sure hope things pick up a bit on the 14th.
Don't get me wrong, the show is still amazing (based on NJ), and anyone that hasn't seen it yet is in for a real treat. I wish I had the financial means to catch a few on this tour. But unfortunately, I can't shell out that kind of money to see basically the same show.
Thanks again for the update.

Dragon Attack was worth the admission alone, but this was no where near as exciting as the NJ show - the set list needs to be changed up alot -i have no interest in seeing this show again, if its the same setlist - that being said, everyone was in top form and sounded great (This crowd blew, and was about 70% full)
Come back in the summer Queen, play Jones Beach, and do a new setlist - that'll be a real kick ass show

That's very distressing to hear. First, they drop '39, (without replacing it with another song) then I hear that the NY crowd sat on their butts, and the arena was only 70% full???
I was expecting the NY crowd to be totally insane- maybe the best of the tour. I'm very surprised to hear that they were so sedate.

There is a therory that "39'" was dropped once Brian injured himself in DC. The long periods of sitting on the stool and strumming like mad on the 12-string might be too painful for him with his sore ribs.
Just wanted to add that in....i don't think it has been dropped because it recieved poor audience participation. It was a pity it was'nt played in Worcester...it would have brought the house down as the Band had the audience in the palm of their hand from the start.
I very surprised to hear about what sounds like a poor reception in NY. I agree though, the venue has been said to not be that nice...a shame really.
Ah that's okay....they know they are loved in New England! :)

The reaction to '39 in Duluth was good. I think Brian hurt his ribs (according to the soapbox) so maybe he is in some pain still.

I honestly prefer '39 to LOML...
I had a terrific time, even more so than at
October's NJ show. The band's really
getting tighter. Man, Rodgers has a powerful
voice! Brian was on fire and Roger flat out
rocked. I wasn't sure if Rog's mic went out
or if he forgot a line in IILWMC (I think it
was "With the pistons a-pumping...")!
The Coliseum apparently had some sort of water
pipe leak which got us a free ticket upgrade
from section 311 to 209! Pretty sweet:)
