The upper deck was closed, except for the section straight back from the stage. What you see as half full was the club level. Balcony had tarps along the side.

From my vantage point in the club level, looked like people were really enjoying WTW for some reason. I mean, I like it, but out of all the new songs that's not the one that you would think would get the crowd going.

First, it seems that they always play it too slow. And, I don't like Neil's choppy drum beats as oposed to the original straight up beat that Rutsey laid down. The original version is such a great rockin' tune... but, live, I could do without it. I burned out on working man back on the ATWAS recording, in '79. What I especially didnt like about this live song was Neil ridiculously overplaying it. I felt like it was his way of asserting his position in Rush. It seemed very disrespectful, imo. I'm not a big fan of the reggae part. And as far as overplaying it goes, the Different Stages Odeon version is the king of that. There's that one part where it sounds like he bites off more than he can chew. Alex kills on the end so they can play it all they want as long as they don't change that.

Hey, I am coming out of lurking to say... PM sent. I want to hear this.
