Hola!!
OK, I know it's late now but I've
been away from home and I just checked my emails.
I was at both Bs As shows and the
one in Santiago (that's where I was).
I think the people in Bs As were
really into the show... I was at campo VIP both nights and all the people around
me seemed to be having the best experience ever; but OK maybe it was just my
experience... but I wouldn't change it for anything. The 3 of them seemed very
happy and enjoying the show.
About the songs... I was holding a banner at the shows asking for
O my God or Miss Gradenko; I know it's almost impossible they change the setlist
but you never know... ;)
Cheers,
Yo!

Well, I understand the logic behind that, sticking to the hits. But
it seems to me that even Man In A Suitcase was a bigger hit then even Voices
or Hole, as much as I love those songs.... I can never get enough of
Voices, the whole thing is just awesome!! But, there is just something
about MiaS, maybe cause I travel for a living. There´s a
connection....
I wish I could have seen Van Halen too, always a big
David Lee Roth-era Van Halen fan. Just wasn´t the same with Sammy.
He did a good job, but just didn´t have that personality that Diamond Dave
did. 8^)

As would I, but I
think it was Stewart who admitted in an interview earlier this year, that
they “had been advised” to stick to the hits. I’m sure it has
something to do with selling tickets (meaning that the majority of people,
the casual fans, want the hits). In the absence of any new music, it
does make sense. I just saw Van Halen this past Saturday in Portland and they were
operating much the same way. The one difference is that they limited
the songs they played to those that they’d produced prior to Sammy Hagar
taking over for David Lee Roth. Hence, they had a little room to add a
few non-singles. If you count “Hole In My Life,” “Truth Hits
Everybody,” and “Next To You” then the Police are doing this as well.
You could even include “Driven To Tears,” “Voices Inside My Head,” and “When
The World Is Running Down…” as they were not exactly singles either
[note: I’m not counting the remix singles that were released well
after the Police had ceased arresting people ;)
