Blue muslin cloth in front of the stage is a classy touch.

How was the show? I'm presuming the band is sticking around meaning weather won't threaten the Dublin date.

show was incredible apart from that 20 min interval he has.The new songs sounded great and that screen at front of stage was very effective.5 virtuoso musicians at the top of their game.so many highlights but hard to beat 'the raven that refused to sing ' .we even got a prince song - sign of the times !!!

Superb gig ... first time in Mandella Hall - nice little venue.

The gig itself was outstanding - excellent sound, great setlist (although I would have preferred if he dropped Prince's Sign Of The Times for more PT)

Visuals are great - the opening film is clever and the front stage curtain is back with excellent projections beamed onto it at various stages of the show.

Blundell and Hutchings do a great job replacing Minnemann and Govan (but never quite hit their heights - who can !).

New material blended well with his older stuff and PT with the exception of Permanating which is ill fitting in the set (but that could be just me as I'm not a fan of the song).

Not a spoiler ... but Even Less was not the version we expected.

Can't wait for tonight in Dublin - get in your seats on time ... gonna be epic
