ooo...that beginning of Jet is really shakey. Great video as usual...thanks.
The thing is, I was there and I don't remember that. You get such a different experience watching the videos afterwards. In the years I've been on this board (okay, it's only about 5 but still...), the conversation about his voice has been pretty much the same. The thing I kept hearing was 'Yes, he's gotten very shaky and can't even sing as well as he could 5 years ago but you really don't notice it when you're there.'
I always thought that couldn't be right but it held up. I only noticed the shakiness once or twice and it wasn't on the quiet numbers where you could really hear his voice warts and all. The verses of Maybe I'm Amazed are always going to be shaky. That's a damn impossible song for most men to sing. I did notice a bit of an issue with New on the second night, though. Just a couple of moments that were a bit 'Ooh, that wasn't quite right.'
Oh, I just want to add something about the shows in general. I was expecting a double encore so that was a surprise but I nearly had a heart attack when he went straight into Sgt. Pepper's after Yesterday. I thought that was going to be the end of the show.
