A one-off show, and it shows… and not in a good way. This is the definition of a 0 on a scale of -1 to 3: It’s nothing offensive, but at the same time, not a single song grips me. The performances are mostly good (I say mostly because there are definitely some train wrecks in there, e.g., BEST, and Tim’s solos aren’t to my liking), but the guitars sound jangly, and it’s a bizarre choice to let the background din of the audience be present for pretty much the entire show. The highlights are probably the Come Tomorrow songs: COME TOMORROW and DO YOU REMEMBER are fairly compelling, and the encore is the highlight, where it feels like everything comes together, albeit for a limited period of time.
