I'd agree wholeheartedly

I was surprised when we played MSO today just how slow the songs are compared to this tour, and that's sad. We've seen this year that Meat's perfectly capable of doing the songs at the original speed, and those bits that are a little more tricky now (bearing in mind it's 35 years later!!) have been constructively worked with to create a great outcome, I think in former years things like that were hidden under the rug...in my opinion.

This too. It doesn't stop me enjoying the DVDs I have .. but this tour is simply exceptional. The arrangements are fresh, even when faithful to the original, the players amazing, and Meat imo seems to be delivering every show as if it's the last one he'll ever do .. For many he knows it will be the last show they'll see, and he brings so much to every song, the delivery is jacked up into the stratosphere. I can't really disentangle Meat's power and performance from the arrangements .. the whole is greater than the sum .. but this tour surpasses the DVDs by some distance for me.
