I thought this was better than AT07. Generally i felt AT07 was quite dull. Definitely a lack of dancers, how can 9 be enough? She used to have 11-15 dancers in her tours and the song selection just didn't pick me up like i thought it would. Also instead of all those vidoes, i felt more live band or dancing would have been better. Overall, i felt that the spunk level was less than previous live recordings of her final tour performances.
This CDL07-08 wowed me from the start (talkin' 2 myself). I also didn't feel the vocals were as off as some of u mentioned especially for together when. It DID sound like she was having trouble with SURREAL and Boys & Girls but the energy level was so high, i didn't care and just sang along. The only song i was deflated about was Ladies Night and despite it being quite easy to pull off IMO, the arrangement vocals were quite screwed up but it was completely redeemed by the rest of the concert. The aerial dance was also something special.
I was surprised that ayu axed dancers from rainbow, evolution and B&G just a few days before the concert. If i'm not wrong, she said if kiriko, becky and ryoji can't deliver in the next rehearsal, they can't perform those songs and i think she ended up taking 2 of them out. I'm not very sure though. But overall, easily one of my favourite countdowns.
