Overall, a good concert, but it could have been much better. Yes, this is the 10,000 Days tour, but so much of the material from the album, does NOT work as live performance, regardless of how well it sounds coming from your CD player.

First hour -- Incredible.
Next 40 minutes -- Slow. Light show kept it moving.
Last 15 minutes -- Excellent.

It was very disappointing that two albums were left unrepresented. Lost Keys, Rosetta Stoned, and Wings should have been swapped out for stronger material. Also, the collaboration w/Melt Banana brought nothing to Lateralus (it mostly seemed like a way to waste time), unlike the extended version of Schism. That was amazing!

Skipping the midsection, it may have been one of the greatest shows I've seen. The sound was clear and powerful, the light show and animation were tightly integrated, and the band's performance was flawless. Hopefully next time, they'll pace the material better.
