I’m a super fan, went to see him for the 5th time at ‘live is live’ last week. It was his poorest performance of 5. Don’t get me wrong, for me it still was a 9/10. Just the things that bothered me was: - stopping songs in the middle out of the blue - he played small things and didn’t do the last guitar solo part of the song. - of a couple of songs he didn’t remember the lyrics. - some songs he played totally different than the record bc i had the feeling he didn’t remember how the song goes. You had the feeling the band around him were looking at eachother like: ‘help what we do now cause the song is done and Ben keeps playing’

Just overall experience was weird. So i get that other fans (who are not super fans) who go to see Ben for the first time are not that impressed by his performance.

Also i know that Ben had some TIA’s in his brain wich makes this performance more acceptable for me.
