Great show last night!!
First time seeing them at an outdoor venue so I was a bit worried about the sound but it was crystal clear. This is the third time seeing them with Joseph and he just sounds better and better, I mean he basically nails all the high vocal parts that Bobby struggled with.
I'm really diggin Shannon Forrest on drums, he's the closest drummer they ever had to Jeff.
I'm not sure if it was Shannons decision or the band but many of the songs had a bit lower tempo than usual or actually more closer to their original tempos and I loved that, it made the songs breath a bit more and brought more life to the songs live imo. I read some comments on the internet saying he dragged the tempo down but I didn't get that feeling at all, because as I said the tempo was slower from the beginning but he still very much played in the pocket.
Overall the band sounded great as usual and with lots of energy.
