The weirdest thing is not the actual words that they sing, but what the words signify, a backwards, old-fashioned attitude, or Mark's 'Brexit man'. It's like you are cheering on and celebrating that attitude. Unless you view it ironically. But I like the weirdness.

Comments based on live streaming or video can be sometime biased by the lack of atmosphere.
I was very glad to attend the opening night because being in the house gives you a unique feeling.
Impatiently waiting for my next show.

Cordoba:

I see on one of the photos of the stage that there is something that looks like a teleprompter next to Mark's mic stand. Is that the first time he's used one?

Nice effort from Guy again this year with tour diary. I like the way the first letters of each paragraph make up a word in Spanish. For Cordoba it was "duende".  I wonder if he keeps doing it in other languages too as the tour progresses to other countries.
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

Yes!  :lol

I have exactly the same pic of myself during the "fiestas" of my village (including the same brand of beer). The main difference is that i´m not a legendary session player

It is up to you to decide.

Barsa is still ringing in my head and way better than any online video.

My Bacon Roll, which is one of my favorites in the record, sounded boring to me in all the three concerts. And because of that I won't ever search for a YouTube version of any concert of that song. It doesn't makes sense to me. I rather put the studio version.

By the way, Barsa doesn't exists. It's Barcelona, or Barna, that it's how their inhabitants called it.

Barça makes reference just to Football Club Barcelona.
