I was also at the New Jersey show and they blew me away. Incredible show, with a phenomenal drum solo from Minnemann. If this was a bad night for them then I can't imagine how great they must be on a good night.
It WAS a great show. First time I've ever seen them. They has a lot of fun too it seemed like.
Heard great things about Govan (Although i've not been impressed with him in other contexts, He certainly has his own style. I certainly understand now why people fuss over him. And he did play a few very cool melodic solos. (I like Satch and Vai, and in this limited setting I don't think I'd compare him with that kind of style. He really forges his own path. The guy is a great talent and if I'd definately prefer him in this context rather than say....John Payne's Asia or GPS.
Of course I could be spoiled (Actually, I'm sure I am when it comes to music like that), I expected a bit more craziness than was delivered. I also expected the drum solo to be something like that so I'm probably major league spoiled. Seeing bands, like King Crimson or Zappa Plays Zappa or The Mahavishnu Project (not Orchestra) will do that to you I guess.
I'd certainly see them again.
