This is the bus of a fan - NOT from Sebastian Krueger. The artwork on it is from paintings of Sebastian, but the bus doesn't belong to him.

AquamarineI'm at the airport on my way home, and started to pass the time waiting for a delayed flight by reading some of the comments on this show that gave me such pleasure,, but I gave up in misery.Quote
DoomandGloomI can't imagine many of you know this but Keith practices guitar often. In Jamaica where I stayed in a nearby hut he set aside 2 or 3 hours in the afternoon just to play to tapes and stay sharp on his playing. Now that he's being crippled by arthritis I doubt he gets that much guitar time. My point is despite his public image Keith has always tried to be a dedicated musician. Things like SMU happen at the beginning of the show as his hands must feel numb when he's starting out. Still I'm certain he stretches out and does what he can to prepare because that's what he would do. It's really ugly to read some of these comments.Quote

Judging from the Berlin-videos, Keith has improved a lot on this tour already.
I like what he did on Waiting On A Friend and Rocks Off. Keith is really getting there, working like a trooper in very difficult circumstances
Thank you so much for saying this.

That's an important point. It's absurd not to take that into account. It's not on to outright dump on Keith's playing, however we've seen what he can be capable of still to this day, and I feel it's valid to hold him to the standards he has set earlier in this tour. Not that I have had a problem with any of that lately, but this also needs to be taken into consideration.
I've watched many of these Berlin clips and it appears to me Keith is more comfortable here than the beginning of the tour in the US. He is great on WOAF, the outro riffs he tosses in are a new voice for him. I think he's pulling back into the pocket and relying on the band in a good way.Quote

Keith's playing over the years, and for various reasons, has always trodden a very fine line between ragged majesty and complete trainwreck.
From what I've seen in clips from this tour, there've been far more "spine tingling" moments than "oops" moments.
His timing & touch are still incredible...and his tone through that old twin, sublime.

A little heavy on the makeup for sure, and the big shoulder pads...but what's with the cane though?

The only times he gets in trouble is when he can't be bothered to beefen up his sound for soloing (YGMR, HTW, GS-intros etc.). Apart from the Scarf Me Ups, that is

the pedals and overdrives are controlled from backstage, Keith's classic tone is clean and very loud like many classic rockers. Twins don't really overdrive...Quote

The clips from Berlin are amazing and his onstage brotherhood with Keith is genuine. As a very old fan I must say that the interaction on the catwalk and during songs between the Glimmer Twins is really heartwarming. It adds a new dimension to these shows that other tours have lacked in past years.
Many thanks to everyone for sharing the night with us.

What a great show! Sound of guitars almost drilled me brain. Amazing. One of the most unique venues ever! Luckily everybody survived the race down the stairs. And for some there were "additional attractions" like being allowed by security to jump over the railings during Brown Sugar
