just finished watching the downloaded stream, overall I like this a lot. a couple unorganised notes:

• the fall looked painful! she seemed to manage really well during snowy kiss by just powering through and singing on the spot, but yeah, as some have said, it seemed to have taken a toll when her walk seemed a bit stunted in the encore. I hope this doesn't add to her knee problem and is just something she can more easily heal from.

• the vocal! it was evident that she was trying to control herself and it worked really well for the most part! her vibrato sounds 'mature' and stable even when she was walking around. I hope she can maintain (if not improve) this technique for the remainder of the TROUBLE tour.

• I think she lip-synced/used a backing track during at least Marionette and decision (if not identity, as well). her vocal sounded a little too 'polished' here and the camera angles are suspect; they seemed to intentionally not zoom in on her face during these songs to hide apparent signs of lip-syncing. I'm not a pro so I could be wrong here of course.

I really enjoyed this concert! I hope it gets released officially.
