It was such a great pleasure to see Mark & Band in my home town
Just a few thoughts:
I believe Mark feels more confident with his playing now comparing to the 1st RAH gig which I was lucky to attend as well.
It seems for me he is in a better shape overall, even if the Gdańsk/Sopot event was the third night in a row, it seems touring suits him
The setlist is very good, at least for someone attending just one show. I didn't read this forum since the tour started and the presence of OUATITW, MFN and SB was such a great surprise to say the least. I thought I'll never say it a few years ago, but I missed DWB. Maybe because I'm ageing and starting to remember this song as a kind of a milestone for all the tours from 1996 on?
Ergo Arena is known to be a rather difficult place to play in terms of acoustics (huge echoes) but the crew did a GREAT job. The sound was perfectly audible, not too loud and I could even answer dozens of questions of my 7 years old son. I hope we didn't disturb other fans sitting nearby too much!
The fair admission service worked perfectly for me, maybe because "our" show was not among the most popular ones, but at the RAH we got good places as well.
The Band is great. I briefly scrolled the "Is this the best band he's ever had?" thread, you wrote it all down and I agree with both enthusiastic and critical opinions haha! It's all about limitations and compromises now, I don't feel I have anything interesting to add.
