Concert was pretty good.

Go Insane was refreshing. I've been hoping for a shakeup with Go Insane and/or Big Love, and I'm glad it actually happened with one of them.

The new songs were enjoyable to hear. Thankfully, all of them are still in the setlist (setlist was unchanged from Saratoga/Seattle).

Big gripe: I realize that there are budget constraints (ahem, Lindsey's jet/jet fuel), but these shows would be SO much better with an actual drummer with an actual drum kit. The middle part of Tusk and the entire drum solo of World Turning on the MIDI kit were some of the lamest musical moments I've ever experienced at a concert- especially one with a headliner as talented/noteworthy as Lindsey.
