Great show by German Epic Fantasy Metal Masters Blind Guardian. Saw them back in 2010 and at the time Hansi Kursch was fighting a cold and still sounded better than 90% of today's metal vocalists. For this show Hansi and the rest of the band were firing on all cyllinders. Outstanding show - over 2 hours!
I had a great seat in the front row of the balcony. Acoustics were excellent. Unfortunately, Blind Guardian had two floor-mounted spots (one on either side of the stage) that were pointed directly at the balcony so a lot of the show was filmed with bright lights pointed directly at my recording spot. Check the video sample for audio and video quality.
