Bootleg Review: Milan 2006, second night.

A very good bootleg, with a nice quality and decent skills of the operator, of that great AMOLAD tour. Shot from the left stand, there is a great view of all of the stage. And what a view it is! Ya know, I love watching Janick from such an angle, his walk is so unbelievably cat-like, so gracious, so smooth....so sexy :) And all his dance moves are absolutely incredible as well! Really, I could watch that all day long!

Highlights

  •  Jan's clothes :p I watched a bootleg from the previous night in Milan a while ago, and there he has his usual jeans and AMOLAD t-shirt on. And turned out that for the second night in a row, he changed that for a bit bleached looking jeans (making them look a bit like camo pants) and a black sleeveless shirt with some spots of bright colour on it. You know, during this tour I was always wondering, do they have a change of clothes and how often do they wash their stage attire, if there are 2 gigs very close. I didn't see any evidence that Janick or Steve had 2 sets of identical clothes, but back then they seem to have changed it :) What's even cooler, that before the encore Jan changed his shirt to something I haven't seen him wearing on any photo - camo sleeveless shirt with the Eddie head with crossed guns :) That's something unusual!
  • Bruce's microphone stopped working during The Pilgrim. The camera was on Jan and Steve at that time, so not sure what happened, but seems like someone threw a bottle with water at Bruce and the mike (and Bruce) got wet. Now, why would anyone do that?! Bruce was furious, understandably, and showed someone in the front row what he'd do to him.
  • Fear of the Dark. Bruce let the audience sing the whole first verse without interfering himself. Sounded fantastic! The public even sang Bruce's customary 'you' and 'ha-ha-ha', which made him (and me) laugh :lol:
  •  Jan's running back and forth in the middle of Hallowed Be Thy Name. How much energy he has left by the end of the gig, that's incredible! He nearly bumped into Adrian, who wasn't fast enough to get out of the way :) well, he ran back, then back again at Davey where he did that awesome scissor jump :D, then back onto his side of the stage to play his solo... which he absolutely messed up :D Well, happens :)
  •  Jan playing his guitar with Eddie's gun :D

Definitely worth a watch, though I think that the first night in Milan was a better gig... at least there weren't any problems with Bruce's microphone :)

And some screencaps....
