There are other good ones. That's the only great one. With DLR, anyway.

One day, and I can't wait for that day, the world will suddenly realise 'Jump' and 'Panama' are all kinds of shit.

After watching the videos, I'm really starting to re-consider going to see them. I know DLR has never sung well live since he's more frontman but at this age it's even worse. And just imagine what he would sound like at the end of the tour. I know a Sabbath concert would be like this but Iommi's riffs are so powerful and iconic that I would forget about Ozzy. Eddie's riffs aren's on the same level. Well, no one's riffs are!

Well, i think there are commercial and non-commercial songs which are musically well structured, great melodies, perfect execution, etc and there are commercial and non-commercial songs that are musically meaningless, and i repeat, musically. I donīt wanna talk about lyrics here, to me music is more important.

Jump and Panama are an example of commercial songs which are musicially well structured and amazing performance. Running With The Devil is not so commercial but equally great. I guess what certain people donīt like about Panama is when it goes "Panama ah oh oh oh oh"

Commercial doesn't necessarily mean crap

Coming from the guy who openly enjoys Fozzy.

Fat Eddie Trunk seems to be right, the last two songs were not played as I read more accounts from the show.
