To continue my thoughts on last night:
Very Choppy. Scott even mentioned that the band is working out the beginnings, endings, etc. Well at least they are aware. It was great to see STP back and performing. However, it's a good thing they have already built a reputation. If they had to survive on their current state, STP would not be long for this world. Dean looked very pissed by the Down mess up. Overall, the band seemed in good spirits and seemed to be having fun, even though this seemed like a dress rehearsal as opposed to the real thing.
Scott does a great Bowie-Changing his image, performance style and outstanding vocals. The Thin White Duke is the latest. Scott even sang a few times with his hand in his pocket. During Big Bang Baby, Scott took off his hat, displaying his Bowie esque hair, when he sang "Station to Station knocks me up and down." An obvious tribute to Bowie. Even Scott's prerformance from Across the Universe was a Bowie copy.
Scott either seems to be singing some lyrics in a lower range either to change it up or avoid the high notes. I prefer the wild antics on stage. Just last August, Scott was a madman in Holmdel with VR. I'll be at the Bethlehem show in August and can make a fair comparison after they get a couple months under their belts. If they have not ironed it out, that would speak volumes. However, I can't imagine they won't be 100% better by that time.
