If I remember correctly, they didn't swap PW and HFB, bit they swapped Monteleone and Marbletown.

I managed to smuggle in my DSLR on Monday... I haven't looked through all the pictures yet but some turned out really good. The problem with a professional camera is, it has so many settings it takes an eternity to figure out which one suits the lighting best. And since I only have a 150mm telephoto lens and was seated in the arena on Monday, it was really tricky to find the right ISO etc... You have to be close to get the brilliant shots or use a bigger telephoto lens but mine was already, well, eye-catching... There was an usher who gave me an evil look at some point so I had to restrain myself. Anyway, this one is pretty funny, I wonder what Mark was thinking?

I would love to bring my Nikon D3 with me...but I stay with my amateur camera. These are the rules...

Ah yes, the rules... Don't we all stick to them, especially when it comes to filming and unofficial DVD's... Well, I didn't use a flashlight, so I didn't disturb anyone, and I'm not planning to sell those pictures, so... Anyway... Some more...

I wanted to buy one of the ladies' shirts but it seemed like size S was sold out... The merch lady showed me one in M but it looked quite large so I decided to wait and buy one in Germany.

Just looking at your pictures Goldenheart and in particular one of the fans in the Arena area;  it seems as though it was taken from the same section of the hall I was seated this night and I remember someone two seats along from me with a camera.  My seat was Stalls "O," row 2, seat 105.  Be hard luck if we were sitting almost next to each other all night without knowing it! :disbelief

Hmm, I was Stalls "O", too, but row 9, seat 136. I guess you were a couple of rows below me then? The sound wasn't too good, was it. I heard Danny's drums reverbarating from the back of the hall, it sounded really weird... The view was very nice, though!

Are you talking about the grey T ?  I got mine in size L.  I am usually a size XS or S.  But those gal Ts if they are the same as those sold in NA, then they are very tiny.  I suggest you try it on before you buy it. 

I LOVE the T- shirt. :)

Excellent idea !!  guys and gals modeling their Ts / hoodies here on a seperate thread of course.

I thought the sound was pretty good.  Being near Richard I thought he was in absolutely no need of amplification at all for any of his stringed instruments but overall pretty good!  You're right about the view though;  absolutely first class.  I prefer The Stalls to The Arena because if you aren't in the first few rows of seating in The Arena then your view is not as good due to the fact the seating isn't staggered.

Regarding the show itself, I thought MK looked in some discomfort at times and during TR had to cut his solo short because of it (must be the shortest version ever).  Really nailed Speedway though and I loved it when he stood up during the final solo.  Overall not quite as great as Glasgow but MK and the band really are playing seriously well right now.

Oh sorry, I should have been more specific... I wanted to have a black one first but found out that they were actually blue. So the lady showed me the white one, which was the one that looked quite big in size M... Haven't had a closer look at the grey shirt yet. You are right, I will try them on first - and if it fits, I will post a picture here  ;D
