11/10/07 Montreal show

I just returned from the show and what can I say...I had a blast.
I would call this an "on" night for the boys.
The good: I've read past reviews how the band wasn't introducing Wolfie, for possible fear of a negative reaction for obvious reasons. Early in this show Dave introduced him and the crowd went nuts. Wolfie responded with what appeared to be a genuine ear-to-ear smile.
The interaction between Dave and Eddie also appeared genuine (smiles, high fives, hugs, etc).
Alex remains a drum-god.
Dave to Wolfie, "Tonight you're getting some Canadian leg". Wolfie, "Dave, give me a break" ("...One break coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!")
Dave during the first verse of "I'll Wait", "I forgot the fuckin' words!!!"
I saw Dave actually kick his leg over his head like the old days on two occasions early in the show. Later leg kicks fell much shorter.
I stopped smoking marijuana cold turkey in 1988, but I swear I caught a contact buzz from all the people lighting up around me
Don't know if this was done in any other show, but late in the show Eddie hung what appeared to be a NY state license plate with "5150" on it onto his mic stand. I'm not sure where he got it from.
The bad: I'll defer to the guys sitting behind me whom I overheard during Eddie's guitar solo. They mentioned he was off a bit and his fingering was much better in his younger years, while the sound guys were making him sound good. My ears aren't as musically trained as some others, but I still enjoyed it.
Show was very loud.
