mpgarr:
As Jeanne noted--there was a bit of a different vibe to the show this
time----it was a good show but some energy or something was missing--I
wonder if K&L and the gang are just a bit road weary perhaps?
They have been on a long trek touring these past few months----that would have to be so very tiring--I just came back a day before this show from a week long trip that I did not do too much more than chill out on and I was a bit laggy that night too thanks to having just gotten done with a day of travel back to the States.
Karin and Linford did not hang around after the show either and went directly back to the hotel, so there was not any of that post show banter with them as is usually the case.
I hope that K&L take time soon to just chill and recharge the batteries---I guess that a bit of tiredness is one of the downsides of doing what they do for a living----being out on the road no doubt has some good sides, but then I am sure it would have to also be somewhat exhausting as well.

i didn't notice any lack of energy during the show and/or performance.
not at all. personally, i thought it was a great set.
they did get into dayton a little later than expected and had a bit of a rushed & rough soundcheck, which was noted and handled gracefully and with a bit of humor and amusement when a prob cropped up during the first set. yet they just laughed and trudged on, where many artists would have freaked out and a problem like that would have effected the remainder of the show.
also, the meet & greet after the show is nice when it happens and has always been an added "bonus" of sorts, but (imho) shouldn't be expected of them and in all honesty (again, imho) has zero impact on the show or performance.
if anything, i think the missing "vibe" was probably us, this was not
the "typical CST weekend," the "event" that many of us have come to look
forward to and to expect, it was just "another" show, which the CST has
never been before. they played a great set, that's really all that should
be expected from them (once again, imnsho).
