== Body ==Last night's show went pretty well, though many of us, for one reason or another, made mistakes. That and the basketball arena setting made us slightly less than relaxed; the show was fine but not totally thrilling. We were previously to be playing the Verdi opera house in Parma, but due to the delayed release of my record, and therefore the tour, the first 10 days or so of the tour were lopped off and, in re-juggling them, some of the nice venues were no longer available. | == Body == | ||

Ending the set with "I Zimbra" and "Blind" seems to work extremely well, especially the new "insert" at the end of "Blind," where the strings kick in to high gear. When this happens the audience is caught by surprise, which they like, and then when we return to the normal ending, re-energized, they are thrilled. We can sense it. It feels like an ending, too, which every show needs. | Ending the set with "I Zimbra" and "Blind" seems to work extremely well, especially the new "insert" at the end of "Blind," where the strings kick in to high gear.
