The venue was a very beautiful theatre (completely sold out) and the audience turned out to be great although everybody remained seated during the encores. The show was 2 hours and 30 minutes and a lot better than the Prague one, with Ritchie starting in a restrained way but then blasting off one magnificent solo after the other. The one in Greensleeves seemed like he never wanted to stop playing. The Geyers were the support act (Thomas and Albert only) and played along with BN several times, which Ritchie obviously enjoyed a lot. After Ghost Of A Rose I was chosen to give the ladies their flowers. Well, let's see what the next shows will be like, can't wait.
