It was a magical show and for me a really interesting set list, well worth the trip up north and such a contrasting show to the London one. Lu genuinely seemed touched by the applause as she walked on. Really nice to hear Metal Firecracker, Motherless Children and the “specially requested” Bus to Baton Rouge. Something About What Happens When We Talk was absolutely stunning with great backing vocals from all of the band except Eric.
I was in the front row and the sound did seem a bit odd at first especially hearing the guitar amps directly, but I got used to it pretty quickly and it was a joy fest all the way from then, almost like being on stage with the band. 😀
