Thanks for the review Jeff!
 
Your mentioning the "acoustic possibilities" part of the setlist, even
though they didn't play any at either show; which would be rhapsodie,
paul and virginia, like a radio, and my funny valentine (drawn as a heart
shape on the set list). I think I 've heard this last one, but I can't
remember where and I can't remember what it sounds like. If someone could
give me any hints: what it sounded like, what OtR "era" it was played in,
etc. I would appreciate it. I think I remember Bruce saying something
about it at the show?

It's interesting to know that they remeber how to play Like a Radio
still, maybe I'll have to request that one at the next show??

peace,
scott ulrich
