Great concert from Mark and the band. Sold out hall, beautiful lights and clear sound. Second part of "Speedway at Nazareth" is incredible live! Must say it was one of the best moments in the concert.

All in all - excellent evening. Thank you, Mark.

Thank you, perymason!!  And wow -- the photos are AMAZING!!!

Very glad to hear that the concert was so good!!!! 

[Love Expresso]

Love that Piper is back. Long for hearing Seattle live, too.

Very promising! That set list (maybe minus Bonaparte) and Brothers and Going home would be great!

[superval99]

Sultans!  It's pretty average again!

 

Wow! Really? I think the speed and the precission of that outro solo sounds pretty amazing. Two shows in a row - then it can't be an accident. Mark has improved his gutar skills

WOW!    Another fantastic SOS - full of energy again!

Piper was beautiful too!   It seemed to have an extra-long outro from 2010!

Thank you, Perymason for the beautiful pictures!

Piper:

 

Wow. In 2010 I loved Piper but felt it was somehow inferior to the studio version - less guitar soloing at the end, a bit of a "karaoke mode". Here I find it on par with the studio version, if not better !

Excellent news to have it back ! Mark, give us back Border (and Kog, but I'm not worried for Kog, I know it will surface) and then almost all my expectations for the songs played in the tour (if not in a single concert) will be fufilled !

Do we know if Mark introduced the band ?   
It's really such an important moment.
That's weird to do even worse than Bob. 

Maybe the plan was to play TOL with the extended intro, ghost riders and band introduction. 
That makes sense.
And last minute on stage he just didn't do it. Too bad, we were so close    For sure next time.

Dare we ask Guy?   I'll really miss the band introductions and it is strange to miss them out!

Much better Piper, I agree.  Just hope he gets the lyrics right next time!

@Jarle: I was only joking - I thought Sultans was great last night again.   

@Val:  I don't see anything wrong in asking Guy why they don't get an introduction any more.

@Val:  I don't see anything wrong in asking Guy why they don't get an introduction any more.

Will you back me up, if he slags me off?

Of course!  Especially if he uses profanity again.  I'll box his ears!
