I think it actually hurted my ears more than the guitar feedback. :p And I also thought there was a bit of "over-clapping"... And I'm not talking about applaude-clapping... I mean, it almost ruined the mood of Massage the History, you don't clap to accompany the rythm of a song that's so quiet and beautiful. For me that's a sin, but... hey, that's already a trademark of the portuguese crowd.

Anyway, awesome gig. Yesterday I started remembering all the great things it had and, even though some Eternal moments were really great, the classics just made the show, specially the two encores. 'Cross the Breeze was simply the best thing that ever happened to me in a live concert. DV69 comes right up next.

Completely. You can't fucking clap on the middle of Massage the History.

oh by the way, I brought home a street poster :D

by yr smilie i wonder how do you did that?!

The nice way: it was hanging at the entrance of the coliseum, I asked some security dude and he said "knock yourself out". And so I did.
It just ripped a bit on the top, it was too high.

Stu and greenlight - I do have those (spanish gigs) sorry for not replying earlier. However I was using a new camera so sound is not the best or worse than it was with my shitty canon, I will try to put some clips on later this week. I agree about the Porto show and what that blogger wrote, it was pretty much a standard show until the encores, thats when all the magic happened (as you can see in those youtube clips above...)
