Just got back from the show in Irvine (where I live, by the way). It
was a really great evening. Some highlights:
--Five Eight, though I'm sure some like them, I thought they were a
bit annoying and loud. My ears were ringing. They were much better
when bantering in between songs. A bit of a disappointment after
seeing Wilco with R.E.M. last year at the Hollywood Bowl.
--Despite the apparently sluggish ticket sales, the place looked
pretty packed and a lot of the fans were really into it. However,
there were a few annoying people in the pit section. I was in the
second row of the orchestra seats behind the pit (great seats, almost
as good as last year) and the people in the pit, which was like 5
rows, included some who were really pompous and obviously wealthy but
kinda trashy too and they sat throughout the setlist. I mean, the very
first song they were sitting down! I was pissed and wondered how they
got those tickets. Obviously not fan club members. Grrr. 
--The opener: Get up. Sounded great, but Mike could barely be heard at
all. Happily, the next song, they turned up his mic (no pun intended),
though I still think it should have been louder.
--The new songs sounded good, for the most part. I wanted to be wrong
was my fave, though a lot of people sat down during it. Mike and Ken
did the bridge section vocals that I think Michael does on record.
Great stuff. Final Straw was much more poignant than ever. The
Outsiders sounded not bad, but there was way too much guitar
distortion. Michael rapping was awesome--he should have done it on
record. After this song and a few more at the beginning of the show,
Michael ran over to the mixing station and told them something. what
was that about?
--It started raining at some point and Michael did a largely acapella
super slow version of the chorus of "Have you ever seen the rain?" It
was really beautiful and made the show feel somehow more memorable.
--I noticed Scott played guitar almost exclusively this concert, with
Ken being the sole keyboard player most of the time, as he was really
in the background. Scott also had a lot more vocals than I remember
and there were a lot of songs that had all 4 vocalists singing,
including some old ones (Scott and Ken did the "Fire!" part of the
"One I Love" with Michael). Sounded great. I still wish the backing
vocals were louder and I was surprised to hear the reversed vocals on
Animal (Scott and Mike doing the "I'm an animal!" part). I liked it
the other way around, because I dig Scott's voice and wish they would
let him sing on record.
--Michael was in a good mood throughout, but the least talkative I've
ever seen him.
--It was really a rock show, few slow numbers and no piano based songs
at all. I think Mike sat at a keyboard once. I'm gonna DJ was really
awesome, fourway vocals again. It sounded dirty and loud, very
Monster-ish yet with. I really fear how they might clean it up once
they record it. It needs to be dirty and live-sounding. and keep all 4
guys singing.
--Bill Reiflin is awesome. He was so steady and, a lot like the old
Bill, he let the songs shine, not his drumming.
--Highlight: I finally heard Country Feedback in concert! I was so
excited, I've been waiting to hear it for years. Michael's part of the
song seemed less drawn out than usual. Peter was frickin amazing at
the end. Soooo good, it was really touching. It has really become
Peter's song--he's at the center more here than in any song, pushing
Michael into the background. I think that's why the album version
suffers in comparison.
--Ending on Man on the Moon was great, though part of me misses End of
the World. Everyone sang along with the "Yeah yeah yeah yeah" part.
--The guy next to me was annoying. He had a Bush-Cheney sticker he
kept holding up and even yelled "S-Kerry!" at Michael after seeing his
"Kerry" t-shirt. Michael made few political comments (he was careful
not to actually say anything pro-Kerry or anti-Bush) but the songs
were overwhelmingly political. Starting with "Get up" and Finest
Worksong" sounded like a call to arms. World Leader Pretend, which was
gorgeous, was so timely and political. All the "Around the Sun" songs
were politically charged and "Drive" also seemed politicized. This was
all in a really conservative part of Orange County. Nonetheless, there
were few heckles and a girl gave Michael a Kerry t-shirt that he
briefly wore before removing it to reveal . . . his own Kerry t-shirt.
haha. 
--My personal highlight: after Man on the Moon, the guy next to me
held up his Bush-Cheney sticker again. He put it in my face so I
shoved his arm away, not too violently. Then, Michael went around,
showing off his Kerry t-shirt. Coming to the center of the stage, he
saw the guy's sticker. I made eye contact with Michael (oh my gosh!)
and did a circular motion around my ear, implying that the guy was
crazy. Michael smiled and did a big shrug and I shrugged back. I was
soooo happy afterward! Wow! He saw me!
Just a really great night. Not quite as great as the night at the
Hollywood Bowl last year, but damn close! Where was everyone sitting?
I was in Orchestra 2, Row B, Seat 205. I didn't get to meet anyone
from Murmurs, unfortunately. Thanks for reading!

This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a let down
Coming to this town honey is a show down
But there's a heart beat pulse
That keeps on pumping some sunshine ray
Through a crack in the shutter
Or a sight of a light at the end of a tunnel
Still there's a feeling this world is using me
...
You've got the power to love to live
You can't say it ain't right
