The reviews of the NY show were awful - the consensus was that he was too stoned to sing or remember a majority of the lyrics. Shame, since he has a pretty nice collection of solo singles. The 'greatest hits' they put out this fall will be solid.
I heard the same and was expecting the worst. It took about 4-5 songs in for him to FINALLY relax his voice and find his groove. If it had been anyone else, I probably would've walked out. It was THAT bad. Luckily, he redeemed himself and the show went much more smoothly.
And, Darrin --- when I saw the Starsailor boys, I immediately thought, "Oh shit, I can hear Darrin telling 'em what a bunch of worthless pansies they are." It was actually interesting watching them fawn over Ian. Just regular fans like you and I.
