I'd say, this tour has been the "most live" one compared to the last year's

I really loved the little improvisations / noodlings here and there. Especially the one on Zero Gravity is actually pretty decent! Yes he's not a really good keyboard player etc. but it's still nice
I really enjoyed those little improvisations too. It’s also a huge plus that JMJ didn't overuse the same effects from Roland HandSonic over and over again like he did last year. It got a bit irritating on the previous tour so it’s refreshing to see him use it with more restraint this time around.
On another note, I just rewatched the full Athens concert on a big TV screen and visually, the show is absolutely spectacular. Top-notch is definitely the word for it.
Epica, Brutalism, Oxymore, Sex.., MF1, Eq4, Arpegiator - just brilliant
Also, it feels like the sound design has been fine tuned. For example MF1 sounds way better to me now. It has much more depth and the individual layers are much cleaner and easier to pick out. At least, that’s how it feels to my amateur ears.
