What a treat to see these guys in their heyday! Back then, bands were known from the radio - not from videos, so when I think of these songs, I always think of hearing them on the radio. I haven't watched too many of the YouTube videos from before the band broke up, so this was a real thrill!
They all seem to sing effortlessly - no struggling to hit the high notes or sticking their finger in their ear to make sure they're in key.
Randy couldn't wipe the smile off of his face.
I kept thinking of certain Borderers during certain songs; WF during HC, FP during NKIT, Troub during BOML.
Did anyone else notice how much more uptempo LE was than how they play it now? I liked it! It's such a long song that even though I like the song, I get bored with it by the end. The uptempo version moved things right along!
I liked the way they changed things up a little from the recorded version. Along these lines, I especially liked Don's vocal on BOML.
Speaking of vocals, Glenn's are amazing! Again, I couldn't help notice the absence of wincing and sticking his finger in his ear - something I don't enjoy seeing him do at shows now. TIE was a great, easy, lead vocal.
It was weird hearing Don harmonizing with Joe on RMW.
As far as Joe, let's just say I appreciate the seasoned version of Joe so much more than this one. I'm so thankful that he came out the way he did.
