Nath

Thanks for posting the great pictures and video. I’m so glad you managed to capture Playground Martyrs/Transit. It was one of the highlights of the concert for me :D
I found the way, by the sound of your voice.

Well, here I am!

Well, we entered at the venue around 8:30 pm. The Teatro Valli is such a nice venue. A classic italian baroque theatre. It wasn't very large and that helped a lot to the quality of the sound.

I don't know if it was completely sold out, but I didn't see a single empty seat!!
I was in 5th row, and although I had a nice view of the entire stage and a centered view of David I didn't take pictures. I'm very sorry for that, but in front of me there were enough people to ruin my pictures and to make a decent shot without the flash I would had to stand up and that seemed to me very unrespectful. There were a lot of people taking pictures using the flash and I'm sure they were disturbing the musicians, since they were actually disturbing me.

Well, here is the whole set list:

Wonderful World
It'll never happen again
World citizen / I won't be dissapointed
The day the earth stole heaven
Ride
Playground Martyrs / Transit
A fire in the forest / Ghosts
Snow Borne Sorrow
Mother and Child
Atom & Cell
Sugar Fuel
Brilliant Trees/Before the bullfight
The Librarian
______________

Every Colour You are/Riverman
______________

Wanderlust


Well, all the songs were absolutely great. The sound quiality was great. If I had to complaint about something, probably I would say that Steve's drumming was a little bit too loud at times, but that's all.
David's voice was overwhelming. I really don't know how to explain it. I have a oniric reminders of the show, like if it was a dream.
It's amazing how he's able to create such intimate atmospheres, even when you're surrounded by people. I can swear, that I felt like I was there all alone...just with him. It was an amazing feeling really.

He looked great, very relaxed and smiling.
The audience was great. At the end of the first part people started stomping their feet on the ground asking for more!!!

The highlights for me were - Ride, A fire in the Forest/Ghosts ,Atom and cell, Mother and child, Sugar Fuel and Wanderlust were the real climax of the night.

Sadly, after the show we only could catch Keith, who is the nicest man in the world, and Takuma.
The conversation about ginger cookies a girl had with Keith was almost surreal :lol: :lol: :lol: Keith told us that David was doing great, he had a nice day and was very happy with the show and the audience :smt040

Oh, and thanks for that link Gods!!!!

Thanks for your great pictures and video, Nath! And no, I didn't see David or Steve.

Poisoned, I'm glad you had an awesome time at the gig, thanks for your review! Keith is really sweet. I'm sure you will see the others with sisterlondon in Madrid!!!

I liked reading about those ginger cookies because in Brussels he went out to get some. A friend of mine was at the Reggio show too and she loved it.
