Almost like one of these "legends" football matches where the pace is much slower than before but you can see clearly that the class is still in abundance! ;D

 Bad that they dont play on weekend, avoiding many fans to travel and see them.

don't know what you think but to me the performance is completely ruined by the lead guitar and voice.. his guitar skill is average, some cover bands are really better and the voice is really terrible...

Thanks to the add of Danny Cummings, the Ds legends has two members that got to play together in Ds, Danny and Phil Palmer.

The rest, nobody coincide with any of the others, and even worse, its a Frankestein backing Marco Caviglia cover band, which is nothing legendary...

At least The Straits had two members that coincided during two world tours and contributed with great arrangements, and they recreate it. They are not just backing a cover band with ex Ds members chosen kind of randomly.

I really find it very pathetic.
