Re: Some who Questions

["Joe Cozzarelli" <cozz@lucent.com>]

When I saw the Quad show in NJ and NYC, Roger made a few lyrical mistakes
despite the monitors on stage.  In the NJ show, Billy Idol kept saying that
his hair was "short" rather than "neat".  by the time they played at the MSG
show, he had corrected this.  Overall, still GREAT shows.
