It was so LOUD that Steve, Marty and Peter had problems with the singing. I think they couldn't hear themselves well on the monitors. My ears are still ringing (a whole day later) from the noise. In Berlin, it was mixed well and it was loud, but not hurting. In Enger you sometimes just heared a mixture of noise, but nothing like two different guitars and a bass.
The guys looked VERY TIRED (no wonder after almost two weeks of playing every day). The gig started quite late (11 p.m.) because of a support band ("Green Apple Sea", a local band). Steve yawned quite often, and Marty had almost nothing of the power he showed in Berlin.
Due to that they omitted three songs (Ripple, Anaesthesia and one I've forgotten) from the list (to make the gig shorter). In the end they were so tired that they dropped a complete encore as well (meaning Destination and Tantalized to be omitted).
They played _exactly_ the same list of songs (except for the omitted songs, of course). I expected at least a _few_ other songs to be played.
Compared to Berlin, this was a disappointment. Without comparison to that it would have been ok, I guess.
