I must state that it is my opinion that a mechanic that can only fix cameros is not that great of a mechanic. Unimpressed.
Have to respectfully disagree, no offense intended . . but this show is a set piece with a beginning, middle and end, with video tied to the emotional impact of the songs. Yeah, some of it can be substituted, but this is hardly a "hey, let's pull out "Bottom" for the kids" kind of performance. People intent on seeing multiple shows have to understand that; they're not going to change the script of a play just because some audience members may have seen it already.

And a mechanic that specializes in classic cars would be considered an artist in my book . . .


Of course, that said, it still would've been nice to hear "Right in Two"
