This show was great!
A.) The Burnsville Performing Arts Center (Ames Center) is a great venue. The sound was really good, I really like how steep the seating was so no view was obstructed. I had row H seats, dead center, and I thought THOSE were amazing seats. The stage was the perfect size. I have to see more shows there.
2.) LoL at the front rows of people sitting. I loved James ripping on them. "So, did some of you get tickets that prohibit standing? 'Sitting Only'" The stage lighting seemed like it illuminated a fair amount of the audience, so I think that added to James' ability to address the crowd.
d.) I haven't read word one about any of the tour thus far. When set 2 started with The Mirror and Lie, I lost it! It totally kicked my ass! As if those 2 sets weren't enough, then the "encore" was playing all the most demanding pieces of music from SFAM! Dang!
Everyone was amazing. Like others have said elsewhere, MM's facial expressions were great and funny. All while, you know, being awesome.
