I enjoyed the setlist this time. I've seen them six times since the PW tour awhile back. Not having seen every tour, it was refreshing to see them perform songs that I never thought I would see live again. And I should mention that I am probably in the minority in preferring their 80's sound to the crunchier (and somewhat repetitive, IMO) sound they put out for the most part after that until CO. The synth stuff plus the new material made for a great variety. If every tour was a greatest hits, it would become too predictable. Can't wait for the next tour to see what they do.

Coming to you from Charlotte...All should be fine. All we're getting from Sandy is a breeze. They'll be coming down I-77 from Cleveland. At worst, they'll run into some snow and wind in sounthern WV. High-profile vehicles watch out coming down the mountains! Once in NC all should be good. Not sure what time they're coming into down. The WWE is at the arena tonight. Wrasslin' on Monday and Rush on Tuesday!

There are a lot of good hotels, bars, and restaurants near the arena. The Epicentre complex in just across the street and it has a lot of dining and drinking options. I suggest a place called Mortimer's. It's your basic pub and restaurant with good food. It's just down an alley a the Epicentre. You can also hop on the light rail heading south and there are a variety of other places just off the stops.
