I must add thought, the drumming seemed a bit different, and the frequent cymbal crashes seemed distracting and out of place in such a well known song. I know the current drummer is Bryan Head, now that Jason Bonham has left. Is he the permanent replacement, or is he just until they find the permanent replacement? Regardless, I wish he would stick to the record more with his drumming.
But....that is just my opinion.
I was able to catch the uploads from the broadcast on YouTube (and the unaired performance of Jukebox Hero after the show). They sounded good as usual, but I wonder if Kelly was fighting a cold or possibly having problems hearing things in the mix -- don't get me wrong, I think he as well as the band are awesome and I see them anytime they're close by (finances pending lol) -- I only say this because something seemed slightly off, but the key seemed to be the same...anyway enough on that.
I would agree that the current drummer could tone back a little more to form or be tasteful in his playing...then again, I'm just a keyboard player
As far as Bryan being permanent, no clue.
