I know this was only the first night, but I'm not exactly over the moon about this at all.  He seems to be struggling imo.

you can't listen something with a crap sound quality like that one, I have a basically perfect audience recording, outstanding playing,
the only problem is that it's a short final solo

[qjamesfloyd]

I think he has some kind of injury, the angle of the guitars he is holding and the strap seems shorter which is making the guitar higher up and making it look awkward. I could be wrong but something doesn't seem right about it.

Good sound doesn't make a struggling performance outstanding!

there's zero struggling infact, you have no idea what you are talking about, if you listen to a crap recording you don't get what's really happening, even if you have a very trained ear, that recording is just unlistenable, same for the valencia one

[qjamesfloyd]

I agree with that, I have watched an audience shot performance where the visuals are good but the sound not so good, but then listened to the official download version, and the sound and playing are incredible. I still think he has an injury though, he is not moving when playing solo's, which is unusual for him.

erm, its most certainly the back playing up, His movements aren't good. Mind you his stomach does act as a good wedge for the guitar....

Again the back seems the issue and I am wondering some sort of Arthritis?? He is somewhat 'Rooted to the spot'

OK then how about letting us hear your perfect audience recording here on amit - and please don't accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about!  I agree the Valencia sound is not good either, but the performance is better.

no, if you listen to a crap recording it's impossible to understand what's really going on

People, calm down. If we would be able to find out a diagnosis based on (amateur) video recordings, we’d be a club of the finest doctors in the world. Take it easy, everything’s all right. He is a little older, has decided to go for a less stressful musician life by skipping future tours. Who knows why he’s not moving around like hell on stage. Maybe some new amps, in ear monitors that require some attention in finetuning. Got the impression that within a week, some speculations about a funeral pop up...

Just relax and enjoy this tour!
