btw...show was amazing...so glad I didn't give up my ticket for him for Interpol.

wow, so nothing at all from his first two albums? I guess if he's doing 4 nights then there's still plenty of time for it, but still, that's his best stuff.

Yeah...the show is divided into two sets, with a 20-minute break. Rufus went on around 9pm, the break being around 10ish, and the entire show ended at 11:30pm.

btw...he does have great legs, I was sitting in the second row and he is still as cute as ever :)

He wore a few fun outfits, but this one, with the suit jacket sans-pants and heels, was just for part of the encore. It was a great show but the audience was a little subdued.

Anon 10:32 - "I was sitting in the second row and he is still as cute as ever :)"

Wait, they put seats on the floor? How was the sound? I saw Birdmonster there before it became The Blenber and the sound was like, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - horrid.

From where I was sitting the sound was fine, then again, I was like 10 feet away from the stage. He made a comment how the acoustics where not wonderful. I'm not sure how the sound is in the "stadium" seating part, but I don't think it's too bad.

is that gerry leonard on guitar? he's a fukkingenius

That was Gerry Leonard. I was sitting in the second row/right side in front of him and knew he looked familiar, but couldn't remember from where. When Rufus said his name it hit me - David Bowie band. He was amazing. He was concentrating on guitar kinda impassively until the encore - when he looked like he was having a blast.
