The day is really hot!! It's even hotter on the bus. Between the conversation and the temperature, it's even hotter. It's respectful but people tend to stand by their opinions... with a passion. I don't even remember what exactly what we were talking about, but it was a lively conversation.
The ride is winding and goes almost straight up some pretty imposing hills and at times I don't know how the bus made it up them. There are several opportunities to make photos, but I'm feeling to lazy to get the camera.
We get to the hotel and do some critiquing of the previous few night's shows, doing what we can to make it even stronger.
The venue is a large arena that reminds me of scenes from "Gladiator". It speak history out loud. The main arena sits behind (or in front of) what looks like a castle/fortress, with lots of holes for archers to fire from. It's truly amazing.
The acoustics are perfect. I don't know how they managed to make it so that you could hear all the way to the top without any trouble at all.
I can't wait for the show to start, just to listen to the place reflect the band and the crowd...
