   Fortunately left plenty of time to get lost on the way to the Tower.   
      
   Front row of the balcony. Sound was quite muddy for the first   
   song-and-a-half or so, but improved quickly. Is Roger mixing this   
   tour?   
      
   Keyboards remained murky, however. Soloists very tentative throughout.   
   Krantz got more solo time than Herrington and impressed. They   
   co-soloed on 'Third World Man,' certainly a highlight. 'Goodbye Look'   
   was great; that song's a bear to play, and there was much   
   furrowed-brow concentration.   
      
   2 horns, 2 backup singers, bare-bones light show.   
      
   'Mary Shut The Garden Door' was followed by 'I.G.Y.' in sort of a   
   'where did we go wrong' medley. I'm sure the juxtaposition was   
   intentional.   
      
   More Steely material than necessary. Where was 'Trans-Island Skyway'?   
   'Florida Room'? 'Confide in Me'? 'Raindrops'? This was a solo tour,   
   play the solo stuff, dude! Also missed 'Morph' - why not sell the new   
   album, that's a great song! And 'Brite Nitegown' would have torn it   
   up.   
      
   The Nightfly material killed, though. The Teagarden song was really   
   interesting if a bit blowsy; great soloing. Carlock - holy shit, what   
   can you say. Monster.   
      
   Who gets to sing the line about the shoes? You'll have to go and find   
   out for yourself.   
      
   Hope to catch him again this summer, or the Dan, or Mr. Steely   
   Whatever.
