Hello from Bulgaria! I was at the concert, too. It was only the 3rd time I have seen the band live in our small country but I never doubted for a second that we will get a show of the highest quality! What a show indeed! Even though I knew the setlist beforehand, I was hoping they would not change anything because it already seemed so perfect to me. The crowd was insanely LOUUDDD and the guys totally felt the positive vibe coming from us. Everyone was screaming and shouting and singing along. I really hope our enthusiasm made up for the ugly hall in which the concert took place.
The first time I saw them was in Sofia during the World Tourbulence in 2002. If I told you they weren't as good as now, I'd be lying. But the new show totally kicked ass. I was looking forward to Illumination Theory as I was dying to see how it sounds live and, as I excepted, it sounded even more majestic. The two other highlights I can think of are Space Dye Vest and Finally Free. Especially the parts where James sings on a much higher key than in the studio. Now I come to think of it, this guy is a MONSTER! An amazing frontman with an out-of-this-world voice. I have no idea how James pulls off a 3-hour show on such a tight schedule. Maybe that's why he is there on stage and we are not lol
)) Can't wait for the new Blu-Ray from this tour!
