I forget which tour it was but it was after the Close tour. (3 years, maybe?)

That was when they did the "in the round" format with the revolving stage. That was a really good show too, except Jon's voice was a little ragged. When he just spoke, it sounded like he had a cold.

I've always been partial to live albums because i always wanted to know "Can those guys really do that with no extra takes and no punch ins?"

Being a musician myself, and having done a limited amount of studio work, i think it's always been easy to be better on record than when having to go out and reproduce it live.

Perhaps if i had hits or something it would be different, but i don't know i could have played a keyboard or guitar solo the same way every time, even if it was my solo in the first place!
