I have to pipe up about THE show. It was phenomenal. It was my sixth time seeing Neil, in one incarnation or another, and I was blown away.

The sound mix was great. His voice was strong. The show had a great tempo to it.

I'm sure everyone's seen the set list, so I won’t get into that. He just played and sang his heart out. I know we’ve been writing and thinking about "why he does it" and "will it make $$$?" but the beam on his face during a crowd sing-along, or a his "daydreaming" while stealing a glance at his son or, during an encore, his admonishing of some anxious bandmates to cool their heels on the sidelines so that he could sneak in one more solo number ... it all speaks volumes.

Nonetheless, after being part of an adoring, sold out NY crowd versus reading about 30-odd devotees plus a few barflies at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues, I'm scratching my dumb-ass head about the tour planning. Let Garth Brooks and Hootie cover Myrtle ... give Neil a real show in Boston or another night in NY.

Enough with the armchair tour management.

The most moving moments (and there were many) were the Neil + acoustic guitar sing-a-long songs -- "Four Seasons in One Day," "Distant Sun," "Don't Dream It's Over," :Fall at Your Feet" ... the chestnuts. But the new songs sounded great also. I really liked "Sinner," "Try Whistling This," and "Souvenir." Some self-indulgent, but very good, pyrotechnics on "Suffer Never" and "Private Universe."

It seems incidental, but the instrument change-ups from song to song and intra-song also added to the effect. I think that's one of things that makes Neil's live shows so great ... he loves to jam, which can't come through as clearly on a studio album.

Yes, Liam is talented. Knows his place in the band (versus "I'm Neil's kid up here, watch out"), and his job. His day will come. I was impressed with both the drumming and the guitar playing (surely that'll set Liam's mind at ease).

One last tongue-in-cheek observation Neil looks diminutive behind an electric bass. Those small acoustic guitars that he plays gives him some "perspective."
