For Malmsteen concert, to those who already familiar with the venue, where do you guys plan to park?

It was great!    He was in great form, playing fast and clean, a true rock showman! I was also pleasantly surprised that his backing band was also playing tight! Special note for the keyboardist who sung his lungs out, able to hit all the high notes cleanly and on point. Then the drummer also played great, even managed to do a solo session. Good that Yngwie still allows other member to show off too! The audio was also very good, all instruments sounded well balanced and loud with only the vocal slightly under but still ok. Yngwie's guitar sounded incredible, the best guitar sound I've ever heard in a live concert (including compared to Eddie VH sound when I saw them during the F.U.C.K world tour in the 90s!), and then special note to the drum sound which was thunderous with earth shaking bass drum!

I'm glad that they played many of his classics like Rising Force, 7th Sign, Far Beyond the Sun, Evil Eye, I''l See the Light, You Don't Remember, Trilogy Suite Op, and of course Black Star. Those really rocked the house down! I think since this is his first visit here, he stick to his signature songs more so the crowd can follow and enjoy better, and they seemed really pumped to impress us.

The hall was not full though, maybe around 70% full on the free standing zone but the seating balcony looked at least 90-95%, so in total a pretty decent crowd showing. Anyway the Nightwish show that I saw in Singapore in 2016 was also about the same size venue and about the same crowd volume and not sold out, so for Yngwie to be able to draw about the same as Nightwish here is not bad at all. Apparently Malaysia still has some taste for crazy metal guitar playing!
