thanks for the review....in listening to last nights show, i had some preliminary thoughts


...Love the intro to mrs robinson with mystery train

...like the new me and julio better than the Old version

...really like still crazy with the organ, it sounds like a blues brothers version!

...enjoyed I Know What I Know

...loved the solo Sounds Of Silence

...only negative is this newer version of diamonds...when we saw the gershwin show last summer with that beautiful rendition with LBM, i thought the original version was here to stay...i really miss that guitar lick that opens the song...oh well cant´ have everything

looks like it´s gonna be a great tour!

loved the changes.... Spirit Voices, cool cool river, The Teacher. i agree with scaaty about the chattering. i was at the very front and during the quieter songs there was constent humming. i had a great time though.

Thanks for the reviews, especially the last one written by Robert. I agree with him 100%. But you don´t have to feel too bad about the Irish audience, there are more countries where they act the same way and sadly don´t understand and appreciate Paul´s solo music, in my mind they are lazy people, too lazy to evolve themselves, sad but true.

I agree with Robert too, very interesting review - thank you. Let´s hope when we see him in Liverpool tomorrow night, it´ll be ´the right man, in the right place´ at the new Echo Arena - and that he´ll sing Homeward Bound for Liverpool.....please Paul.

Thanks for the links guys. Paul was wearing a fedora! And he looks older... but I guess that´s not meant to be a Surprise. That´s a real shame about the audience´s lack of receptiveness towards new material though. You´d think they´d at least have the politeness to not chatter, wouldn´t you?
