Wow, great to see that back in the setlist, but yet at the same time can't help but notice how painfully under rehearsed that was! I hope they bring this one back up to par if it's going to see repeat performances.
Yes, under rehearsed, but a better tempo that in the 2012 dates.
Also almost good to know that they feel comfortable enough as a band to throw something in last minute?
It's good that it's back, but they should have drop "Another one Bites the Dust" for this song, not "Love Kills". I'm pretty sure many people were sad to miss "Love Kills" wich was one of the high points of this tour.
As regards the rest of the show, from what I've seen on youtube, Brian is having an absolute BLAST! Is TYMD, FBG and CLTCL the longest solos that he has done? It feels like it. Seems like a very positive show. Good to see other songs added (albeit, scratchy) but I hope Love Kills and TSMGO will return.
Why polish and ready Love Kills and then take it out? I've had that tune in my head now ever since the Houston show! Glad I got to hear it in Houston and DC.
Cruelladeville you are right from the footage ive seen Brian is on fire! I think it is a combination of happiness of retuning to the stage and seeing that people still come to see him play. He is a humble guy so that might be the way he feels.

Roger is in good shape aswell... Both actually are doing great. The real treat for me is brian is getting his old licks and guitar runs back together. Missed that a lot with Paul Rodgers fronting them.
This is obviously under-rehearsed but, to be honest, I don't mind it that much. It's a Rock concert, after all. Didn't Brian said it would be 'live and dangerous'? This is the one time it's felt like that in the whole tour.
I don't even prefer Dragon Attack over Love Kills but just the variation was good.
If they did something like this once or twice every other show I think it would feel 'fresh' each time. I mean, more for the band's benefit really, as most people (even fans) don't watch more than one show each tour.

Dragon Attack was very pleasant surprise for me at Hammersmith. Anyone able to compare the recent rendering to that one?
It couldn't be much different, really - in 2012 it launched into a bass solo. link
Here's last night in Toronto. This fucking SLAYS: link
Interesting A/B comparison of Lambert then and now. He has matured so much.
Interesting, fast little run Brian does about 3:55 onwards. Brian and Rog are really good here. Lambert, not so much. His voice just sounds shrill to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
