Meta-Critique: Steve Lukather Live 2008

This was ultimately your basic performance critique with small touches of phenomenological description and even some hints of syntax.  The author gives a nice rundown of the numbers performed.  A small amount of historical background is given, where Steve came from musically and who he's played with, etc.  Over all I think he did well with describing the evening but he could have benefited his readers much more by broadening his scope to more than just description.  To start, one more paragraph of historical background with just a bit more information would offer a lot to a reader who hasn't heard of Steve Lukather.  Then, it would lend itself service to a wider audience  and would be a perfect set up for his phenomenological description of the night.  It may also have been nice to get a bit about how the band was amplified, or not.  What equipment were they playing through?  There could have also been a small touch of virtual feeling across the order of the sets.  Meaning, if they had anything to do with the order in which the sets were played.  He may have discovered a theme to the whole performance.  That said it was a nice neat review of a happy little performance by Steve Lukather.
