I thought it was more "magical" than at the American shows for some reason. I don't know... The crowd response was incredible, although they did quiet down quite a bit between numbers. But there seemed to be something really genuine about their performances and interactions with each other. Rather than feeling like their "Sara" hug was staged, it looked truly heartfelt tonight for some reason. They did sound great and I was particularly impressed by Lindsey- it sounds like he went to a vocal coach during his break or something! No bum notes, no growling. And his harmonies are just incredible... And Stevie sounded about as good as she has recently and she seemed to be in a genuinely good mood. For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it because she was saying how it was something she would never forget and that it was the highlight of her Euro trip. I could imagine her standing up there in that old Scottish castle and feeling like she was living the life of Rhiannon, the ruler of birds! Anyway, it totally shocked me that "Silver Springs" was dropped. Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.
