I did not notice any changes in the main sets.
I was in Berlin and I must say I'm very dissapointed. It is obvious that all "Phaedra farewell" shows were the same, TD pretended to play something (all I heard was matrix with saxophone, flute and percussions (maybe some violoncello but I didn't hear it honestly).
What to say, TD is still my favourite band but I feel cheated. I travelled 800 kms to attend this show, and I think It will be my last (with such line-up). I could rather listen CDs at home. Yes, light show was good but wasn't enough. It is deception.
Also I must say I can't stand that saxophones and percussions anymore. They ruined famous TD sound. TD is electronic band, not latino or jazz...I was in London 2004 (Purgatorio), Barcelona (2004-DM 4), Budapest and now Berlin, and it seems that all I heard was matrix with live percussions and saxophones. Terrible. I don't care if Linda Spa will show her sexy leg to crowd or too see "sexy and dynamic" Iric Camaa. I came to all those gigs because of TD electronic sound.
It is also obvious that Edgar removed all those percussions from studio versions, so I don't understand him. I bought Josephine and the mouse singer (not bad at all btw) and there aren't any percussions or saxophones on it (thanks God).
I know that many artists today do the same but it is all wrong. I know how much I was dissapointed with Ulrich Schnauss show also. He pretended to play something but all he was doing was staring in his laptop.
Sorry for rant but I had to say that. Edgar should be honest like David Bowie who said that he can't and wont play live
anymore.
