am anxiously awaiting Pensa's review.
hehe
Here's my review of the Milan show, to give you an idea of my words I have seen every tour live since 1992 included and this is my first of this tour
MK's GUITAR SOUND 8.5 I normally rate it always 10. It was still very enjoyable but there's something wrong/strange this time, especially in the distorted sounds. It's probably due to MK using the Kemper amp as Oscar Rosende reported from a soundcheck in Spain. a Kemper amp is computer, a unit which digitally simulates the real tube amp. Infact the distorted sounds are the most difficult to replicate by a digital unit. If it's confirmed it would really be a very strange move by MK imo. Confirmed or not, there was something strange in the distorted sounds. Still very enjoyable overall, maybe 99% of people who are not guitarists wouldn't even noticed.
MK's VOICE 9 Impressive. I was quite worried about it after listening to some audience recordings of the tour but it was great,
even better than other tours imo, maybe helped by a very good mood for the night. Italian shows tend to be amongst the best of the tour usually imo.
SETLIST 8.5 Everyone has obviously his own taste about this, I would have loved Silvertown and Telegraph but when played live even the most boring song, that in my case is Done With Bonaparte, sounds interesting and lovely.
SONGS ARRANGEMENTS 9 This would be 10 if it wasn't for Speedway, I think the 2nd part of the song is a total mess and not enjoyable as usual, too many clashing instruments. At least the first part of the song was ok.
LIGHTS 7 Not exactly what you would expect from a rock superstar but we already know the lights are intented to be weak on purpose to give the music the central stage. Still nice on some songs.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE 9 Really very very enjoyable overall, the presence of Once upon a time after 36 years is certainly a big plus.
All musicians are really great. I was impressed by the sax guy. If you are a fan, no doubt you will enjoy the concert very very much.
