Some memorable moments: Before each set, there were previews of the upcoming documentary. I won't spoil anything, but it looks VERY promising!  Each member had a monologue at various parts in the show. After "Girl from Lebanon", Mic started jamming on his keyboard until he hit a wrong note. He stopped and tried again a couple of times before saying, "Wait. What the hell am I doing? This feels like a cocktail party... Well, welcome everyone to our cocktail party!"  He then talked about the first song he and Joey wrote together and then started playing the intro to "Carrie". For the second set, Joey put on his modernized TFC jacket that he wore for the TFC 30th Anniversary Tour in 2016. Very cool. Towards the end of "Ninja", Joey got an electric guitar and started playing along! He used that guitar on "Prisoners in Paradise" as well, and I thought that added a bit more power to the song.  Just before "Prisoners", John Norum went missing for a bit and the rest of the band went into an impromptu jam. Joey said jokingly, "This song is called 'Waiting for the guitar player'."  In the middle of "Memories", John Levén stepped up to the microphone and started joking around by trying to speak Norwegian, before he started to play a bass solo.  |
