Tim started the evening with a big rock number about being in a cage (which he was), complete with an industrial strength fan and guitar solo. The show itself featured both old and new material as well as funny stories and intros in between songs. It was really good to hear old favorites such as "Rock 'n' Roll Nerd," "If I Didn't Have You" and "Prejudice." He covered the topic of religion with "The Pope Song" and a song about God curing Sam's mom's cataracts. Of the new stuff, "Content" was quite amusing as he clarified the half covered up lyrics he sang in the first go around, and "Lullaby" was a twisted take on getting your baby to sleep. The final song of the main set was a big production of the ever popular "Dark Side," and then Tim came back on to do an encore of my favorite song of his "Not Perfect." It's so exciting to see how successful Tim has become over the past few years and all the recognition he is receiving both in Australia and the UK.
Here is Tim performing "Lullaby" with the MSO on Ben Elton's recently cancelled show.
