I disaggree: sound was not excellent. It was too loud and the high frequency sounds were badly scattered and overrules all other midfrequency sounds. Half the show I had my fingers in my ears; that's not where they should be. The 'one-night-in-space' peformance in Frankfurt was also with a bad sound. I guess the sound-engineer is allready deaf, and I hope TD will (they must!) replace him on their next show.

For the rest a great show! I wonder how many people (probably only the first row on the balcony and those people who were standing downstairs and look backwards) enjoyed the laser figures which were projected on the balcony border. From the balcony point of view the laserbeams created a virtual ceiling where we looked through.

Sounds like it was an excellent night!

Question: was it filmed per usual?

Yes it was.

Cheers! I decided to get as high as I could to take pictures of the lasers.
From where I was, the hall looked full to capacity.... so around 2500 people at a guess. I don't think I've seen a more enthusiastic crowd either. There was such a good atmosphere.

The crowd were top-notch. Shame that some were duped into missing the final encore by some muppet turning up the house lights. Fortunately not too many had gone by that point but I was almost one of them.

If you could "can" that atmosphere you could make a fortune.

Yeh - I went out to the WC at that point and could hear Cloudburst starting over the tannoy. Never have I peed more quickly!

When Bernhard handed Edgar the acoustic guitar to strum the opening chords...... it's not a moment I'm going to forget soon. Pure TD magic.

Sadly, I concur.

Not Good ..... Nuff said

I've been waiting a little longer for the natural high to pass before judging, but I have to say that was probably the best concert I have ever been to... Oxford 1986 was my previous favourite, but possibly partly because it was also my first.

Question: was it filmed per usual?

Yes there was the usual film crew set-up so we're in for another TD dvd classic soon I'd imagine
