Okay, just this comment alone made me laugh and laugh! I saw the brief cut of Tyler, John Mayer and Gwen (?) rehearsing backstage, and all I could think was I didn't know there was one person on the face of this earth that didn't know the words to EBYT. It's not as if the lyrics are complex and only sang one time, and it's not as if this song never gets airplay...but maybe Sting isn't Tyler's cup of tea! (Just a thought.)
p.s. I think Steven Tyler should learn the words to songs before he decides to jam with a band and butcher their great songs (if I were Brian or Angus, I'd want his head).
Anyway, a belated thanks to Deb and Jer for their wonderful reviews of the actual show, and the others who reported as well (sorry, can't remember your names!). I would have loved to have been there, especially for the rehearsals; those would be priceless, I think, even better than the actual performance. I will join the rest and say I was sorely disappointed not to hear Message, but am glad for what they played, better than nothing! And really loved all the clips of interplay between the three of them. It does seem as if they truly respect each other, and really, how much are dynamics going to change between people? Wonderful to see. Ah, well, I dreamed about their playing last night, and I guess that's how it will remain! Michelle Manoni Troy, Michigan
