John & Simon
There were two guys in front of us who had to be some of DDs biggest fans. They were in their late 30s, and we found out later that they flew in from Brazil to see the show. Hm, interesting. They knew (and sang) the words to every song, including the newer ones that I must admit I am not familiar with; plus they knew the order of the songs so I guess they travel to different cities to see the same show. One of them looked just like James Gandolfini and it was so surreal to see Tony Soprano jumping up and down to The REFLEX.
One of the best moments (besides Tony Soprano and friend hugging and swaying to "Come Undone"): for the first song of their encore, they rocked the house with their remake of White Lines. Awesome.
Other favorites that they played:
Save a Prayer
Wild Boys
Girls on Film *Denise ;-)
Union of the Snake
Hungry Like the Wolf
Rio
Would have liked to hear:
New Moon on Monday
View to a Kill
All She Wants Is
Ordinary World
It was definitely a good show and I'm definitely glad I went.

My sister and I saw DD a couple of years ago, when they played the Houston LS and Rodeo. They were fantastic. At least you had Gandolfini in front of you. My sister and I spent the evening watching a 300lb Johnny Cash wanna-be and a woman with a penchant for Crystal Gayle dirty dance in the aisle. Humorous, but I felt dirty.
I love DD, in fact that was one of the first albums I ever purchased. (that and Aerosmith). I am glad that you had a good time. I leave for SF tonight, so have a good weekend!!!
