Getting in Teatro Italia. The sound and light technicians are at work since this morning and they did a wonderful job preparing the stage. Now it''s our turn, soundchecking and running through the set in the evening after dinner.
My stage set up:

Woke up at 8:00 and jumped straight in to the sea
the water is fresh and invigorating and I'm keeping this daily little gesture to keep alert during the day. keep going in the theatre in the afternoon. a view from the hotel room
a full day of rehearsing and a first check of the lights and the scenes of during the show
WEDNESDAY 6th

Together with Emilio , my backliner for this tour we decided to have him passing me the guitars to speed up the changes and it was a good idea, it's much easier and faster for me. his notes...:
rehearsal done, we finally went all the way through the set without stopping, testing the flow of the show. We decided to take out two songs. it flows much better now. Enough for today. going for a drink with the crew
