Been to 2 concerts (Cologne 16 and Dortmund 17) recently. Was I disappointed? No, as I knew from bootlegs and YouTube snippets that

s voice isn´t the same as it used to be. The songs are still great, Ben, Chris and the Nurse are doing a great job (only the Doktor looks a bit static

), the sound is good most of the time and the setting has also improved with the mirrors.
As long as you go there knowing that it´s not 1985 or 1990 anymore, what´s the problem? And I´m quite happy it´s NOT 1998 anymore. His voice might have been better back then, but the performance was quite uninspired and cold, so I actually see the current state of things as an improvement.
I understand when people are disappointed who maybe only heard the records before and see them for the first time. What I can´t accept are comments after the concerts at the bar or especiially in the men´s toilet

like "I´ve seent them 5 times now in the last few years, and I could have done a better job myself at all these concerts!" . I mean, as a regular visitor you know what to expect- if you don´t like it, stay away and let the others have a good time. And there are always enough of us who actually do. [/b]
