Dave's voice is the best it's sounded to date. His range has improved greatly, tested only tonight by an impassioned reading of "Condemnation," a song that clearly holds some meaning after his battles with addiction and thankfully failed suicide attempts. Gone for the most part are the stadium-god poses and "AWWWWWRIGHT TORRRRONNN-TOHHHHH" howls, which is good. His occasional forays into dancing were risky, but then again he did jokingly promise some Spice Girls choreography earlier this year. He looks far healthier than he has since the beginning of the decade, and the smiles that broke across his face all night suggest he may be happier, as well.

Shot at The Skydome in Toronto on November 5, 1998. Check out more pix and a full McCann review here.
