Buenos Aires

This was a big stadium in the centre of the city, and very hot for all the load in. It was so hot on stage as the sun shone directly on it and made it hard to set up all the equipent in one go.
We were set up in time for a longer sound check, it was a big show and being filmed.

It was much harder to hear the show on stage as the sound refelcted around the stadium much more than at the previous shows, they were open and this stauim was closed in.
The set changed here 'Down To Earth' was taken off and 'Big Time' added in it's place. This made the set feel faster.
This audience was amazing, especially due to its size. We had 36,000 people all singing along to 'Solsbury Hill' and singing the guitar melody line.

Peter relaxed more as this show got going and started to smile in reaction to the crowd response. 'San Jacinto' is becoming the centre peice of the show, closely followed by 'Red Rain' at the end of the set, for which the video display is very powerful.
