Have now seen it, watched on my HD computer screen (not in HD, so thats irrelevant) and listened through my Bower's and Wilkin's P5 Headphones, which produce some of the most natural sound that you can get your ears around.

6.5/10

Better than 3 Bats but not better than MSO

Band sounds good, in terms of vocals, it has it high points (Peace on Earth) but it definitely has its low points.

High points for me:
Peace on Earth
Took the Words
Stand in the Storm
Band is super tight, can't get much better in terms of a group of talented players.
Patti sounds exceptional
Guitar intro to 2 outta 3

Criticisms:

Lighting is just simply too dark IMO, call it ambiance if you want, but it just didn't work for me.

IMO Anything for Love just doesn't sound like itself without the piano riff in the beginning, prefer the current tour arrangement. Also one of the weakest vocal performances of the night (again IMO)

Not a huge fan of the stacked backing vocals, it sounds like a Norman Luboff Choir in the back during the whole thing.

Don't care much for the violin, doesn't fit with most of the songs, works beautifully with POE and 2 outta 3 though

The echo is so f***ing distracting, and it is everywhere, like nearly every track. It makes me want to pull my hair out. It sounds fake and just distracts from the main course, would love to have heard it minus the echo, because with the exception of 1 or 2 songs it doesn't sound like that live.

6.5/10
