Saw them live here in Finland on Saturday. A few remarks:
- Senjutsu tracks work great live!
- Bruce was absolutely on fire, hitting those high notes without any problems. Tight performance by the whole band.
- In some tracks, it is somewhat noticeable that the tempo has dropped a bit, but in my opinion it just gives the songs a bit more groove and doesn't ruin them at all. Hats of to the 70-year old Nicko for doing a fucking world tour, playing 2-hour shows every other night at that age. We sang happy birthday to him, by the way. And he apparently got a nice snare drum cake made by some local bakery.
- The set list could have been a bit better with more changes, I think continuing with the Legacy brand was a mistake, as opposed to going full on Senjutsu tour. But perhaps they'll do that next year?
Up the irons!
