Going by Leana's stories, the Padova show isn't even close to being sold out. Plenty of space on the floor in both sections. And it isn't surprising with that ticket price which was basically the combined price of Prague and Budapest.

Yeah. It's like 40% more expensive than the other gig. And apparently they moved the fan pit barrier to the middle of the stadium, so they could sell more of the expensive fan-pit tickets.

And tonight... The most expensive gig of the tour. That's why I opted for Vienna on Thursday.

Has he been demoted to Avatar's guitar tech? :D

It didn't IMO. But that was mainly due to Nick's health issues.

I actually think you might be onto something here. Nicko switched from Remo to Code at the end of 2022 (Barcelona show) and Simon is also using Code. It could be that they sound more muddy. I still think Nicko with Sonors and Remos during LOTB 2018 and Pooch at FOH was the best live drum sound...

Pooch is using triggers only to open/close mic gates. That's why the playing style has a massive influence on the sound. If you hit harder that causes different opening/closing of the gate. And this is why the sound changed from 2022 to 2023.

I think this could be a combination of 2 things. Nicko's stroke caused him to lose a LOT of power. So I think Pooch needed to compensate that with gates. Full strength Nicko was amazing and the fact is that if you don't hit the drums with intent, they don't sound right and are harder to capture...

Cali Series Strat was used on encores too last night.

Cali Strat was used on encores too yesterday.

For Clairvoyant, he needs the trem. Others, he could.

That's true.

Exactly. Or just white on white, like the original pickguard of the black 70's Strat was at the start of TBOS tour.

That's actually what Steve Morse did with his main purple sunburst Music Man.

Yeah, birthday Strat's pickguard is back on Cali. Also, we now know that it has a swimming pool route. A black pickguard would look much better.

Jan, the mime at the beginning. Lots of other songs on that channel.

But the MVP award of the show IMO goes to Nuno fucking Bettencourt. Is there a tough riff? A tough solo? Well, give it to Nuno and watch. An absolute monster. Anhilated Bark At The Moon (which Jake can't play anymore due to arthritis).

Also, Jason Momoa crowd surfing at the end of Pantera's walk wasn't on my 2025 bingo cards, but here we are...

Mirrored full Ozzy/Sabbath performance. Honestly, this is much, much better than I expected, considering Ozzy's state. Kudos to Ozzy. And it was done like it should be. No autotune, no tracks. Just Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill. War Pigs is a bit rough, but some of the songs in here are great...

On lead vocals... Mickey Mouse.
