Did not like her to be honest.
First I did not expect a supporting act, I rushed from office to be there on time, after her 40 minutes we were told that Olympia was "offering" us a 20-minute break, de facto transforming a 20.00h concert into a 21.00h one, did not like that.
Then she barely introduced herself, nobody caught her name...
But most importantly she was utterly boring - the same soft song over and over on the acoustic guitar. When you came to hear 1960's psychedelic raw music, there is such a contrast that you get angry with her for putting you to sleep !
Maybe I am harsh, yes I am aware that supporting acts are opportunities to discover young artists and give them a chance, and indeed some are very good, but this one... she even managed to make me miss Kate Walsh !!
But now the main act....so, liked that?

thank you for the interest

my feelings are always mixed because the better the show the most depressed I feel a moment later thinking at how much I missed
since 1995 because of not being able to play and how much I will miss in the future, an endless nightmare 24/7 but those 2 hours.

in this case the show was absolutely great. very good acoustic for this theatre. a privilege to see Nick before it's too late.
i only saw him in 1994 with Pink Floyd in modena, but there were so many people 3/400k that I was more or less at 1km from
the stage and couldn't really see him even if I had had a binoculars. So after shows from gilmour and waters , I only missed
him and now the circle is complete.

and it's frankly amazing how well he still plays, I mean he is almost 75.

the best of the show is the setlist. all songs from the early albums, very wise move and extremely enjoyable,
it is as if MK would suddenly play a lot of early songs, a dream which in this case came true.
