After careful deliberation I decided that the show was disappointing.
But even while I'm typing this I keep questioning myself. It seems almost a sacrilege to say that. And I can't even explain why it seemed so underwhelming.
I think it would be better in a difference venue or if I stood closer to the stage or if Red Bull and vodka didn't make me so damn hyper, or if the friends I was with weren't so damn funny. I just couldn't get into it. He played All Night Long and Cuts You Up, and that was splendid but his new stuff while beautiful and well performed left me wishing for more intensity.
And also my expectations were way high. His last show left such a deep impression on me I went in expecting almost a religious experience. But it was good time. And the night overall was very fun.
