No doubt, but because it was such a small venue, it came with the usual perks that the other, bigger shows I witnessed did not:
- You could clearly hear what was going on.
- You could clearly see what was going on.
The show also had some rare features:
- An angry Eddie rant.
- The band was apparently very angry about something so they played like they meant it, despite being tired...something that rarely happens now.
- As far as that entire tour goes, it was one of the tighter shows...though all of the shows towards the end were good.
- The setlist is really good, IMO.
So even though there are obviously better shows that I could have/should have attended, I'm glad that I went to this one, because the others I saw sounded like someone playing a boombox in a huge cave.
I enjoyed the show too. I remember Ed saying something about the flashing girl during "Insignificance" (I think), then later when on the epic "mosquito bites" / "shitting on girls heads" rant.

I just went back and listened to it today and it was much better than I remembered. I think my mixed reactions came from the fact that they started an excellent early run with Last Exit > Animal > Do the Evolution but then totally killed the vibe by going to Help Help and Get Right with 2 of the next 3 songs. I like those songs but the placement just didn't work. Then they went to Small Town right after that, only the 8th song into the set. That was another momentum killer. Also, I thought Driven to Tears was an odd choice to cover and I had no idea what it was at the time. Of course, they mostly made up for all of that later with excellent versions of Immortality, Deep, Insignificance, RVM, Whipping (right after the mosquito bites rant, which was pretty awkward, but served as a great segue into that song), Glorified G, Crazy Mary (one of the few versions that I can really appreciate), and State of Love and Trust (topped off with Eddie's harmonica part which was my friend's harmonica. He threw it up on stage in the middle of the song and Eddie picked it up and started playing.)

I remember that, he had a real beef with Bush.
Has Eddie been vocal at all about Trump?

Not really, doesn't want to piss of the frat bros who are now financial advisors.
