So this acoustic guitar arrangement of Everybody Wants To Rule The World is tremendous:

I did!  it’s excellent, I’m not a guitar player but the level of technique involved is probably deceptively difficult.  Just keeping the rythm steady alone is quite a feat

Yeah, it’s the bass notes and ability to keep the whole song moving at that tempo without any deviation that are really blowing my mind. I’m only a very rudimentary guitar player, so a lot of things impress me though!

That was beyond impressive!  That chick is super talented!  I'll have to check out some of the other covers she does..

One of my favorite 80's pop songs. Awesome guitar work. Loved it!!

Ya, this is amazing and more people need to see it. My friends loved it.

Rick Beato talks about Elemental (the song):

Great song and breakdown, and not even my favorite thing on the album.

TFF concert in Laval, Quebec last night was an absolute blast.  Roland and Curt haven’t lost a step and their backing vocalist on this tour (Lauren Evans I think her name was?) is also amazing,  Woman in chains followed by Badman’s song was a showstopper

Damn good show last night.  The new songs were really good live.

Seeing them in Denver next week. A friend and myself are going to Tori Amos and then Tears for Fears the following day. Great week ahead!

While I would have loved more from Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, I get that it's not realistic at this point, but it's a well balanced set list.  We got 18 songs - 6 songs from the newest album, 3 from each of the 80s albums, the 1 big 90s song, 1 from ELAHE and 1 cover (Creep).  I am still surprised at how well they are drawing.  It seems like so many bands from that era now have to play smaller venues or do package tours with one or two artists to sell tickets, but they played our biggest outside amphitheater (that has a capacity of close to 20K if the lawn is jam packed), and I would guess there had to be 12-15K people there.
