Generally correct, but mostly because Whitehorn
& Gilmour were dominating with the electrics ...
With a couple of mix problems, Pete's vocals and
stint on the piano ("I'm One") were excellent.

Methought Rabbit did a great job on keys and
that Roger's voice faded at the high end. No question
but that John and Zak blew holes in the clouds ...

No "acting" breaks, though -- just some carrying-
on during the songs. Much closer to the '89 LA "Tommy"
than a standard stage play.

Pete started slow, and was dynamite by the
end of the set -- clearly having a great time with
how well it was received. Good omen for New York, I
agree ...
