Great concert! And also very emotional for me as this was my long waited first live touch with the group (for 10 years of listening to their music).
An absolute "Dream Come True" moment!

And here are some pictures I took:

Good pics :)

It was great you were here!



I have to keep saying this....I will never see my photo with Anneke :P I can't believe this :P

I have to ask, if this person that took the photo, or somebody that knows him has a photo with a girl and Aneeke taken outside the Idrogeios, please tell me, I will post my photo in case!
I am pretty sure it was a foreign guy, probably Bulgarian, please, if you have any clue tell me!



Oh dear...... :P

It's hard to explain,to describe,to accept it's in the past already...but I really saw the best concert I've ever been :green:
The Gathering is for sure so great live,like in the studio recordings and I am very pleased of their contact with the audience.
Yes,the "Dream come true" moment was in my head also and I am still shaken from it. Great thanks to the band for that !
I was one of the hard fans(becoming more harder every minute in the cold outside :green: ) that took some pictures of Anneke outside,but unfortunately the missing picture is not mine,which almost exclude the chance to be some other Bulgarian.
Anyway,I hope to be able to post a link soon here and to share my happyness :D
Admirations to the greek audience also and the interesting and beautiful city of Thessaloniki.Hope to meet you again soon guys and hopefuly for the same reason :flower:

Cheers,
Path

Ok...here is my post with a clear mind!!!


It was.... AAAAAMMMMMAAAAAZZZZZZIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D


I was in the first row, next to "metallas" (I didn't know him, but here I found out that i was him, what a... coincidence!!! :green: ), and sometimes you could see me up to the barriers!!!

When Psychognosis finished their show, we all started to yell "GATHERING GATHERING" and searching for the band, where are you?, when will you come out?

Suddenly Rene, Frank, Marjolein and Hans came on stange!! And then one friend next to me says "Aris look!!!! Thereeeee!!!!!!!!" AND ANNEKE IS ON STANGE!!!

They started with Shortest Day (we already knew it! :wink: ), and it was the perfect song to begin with!!! Fast, strong and very nice!!!

The other songs were also great!!! I have videos with Alone, A Noise Severe, Waking Hour, Travel and Eleanor!!

And the encore..... Huh, the encore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During Eleanor, I tried to tape the song, but it was very hard!!!! In In Motion I and in Strange Machines, I say "f*ck it!", I turn off the camera, I climb in the barriers and start headbanging!!!! :green: :green: :green: It was GREAT!!!!!!!

At last, Anneke gave us her hand (I suppose, I had tried to give my hand over a 10000000 times!!! And metallas, the guy next to me, also!!)!!!

And sth else!!! When Anneke was singing in front of us and looking at our side, I tried to "kiss" her with my hand (you know, the moving with the hand) and she saw it and smiled!!!!! And I "kissed" again, and she smiled again!!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When the show was over, I received some signatures and photos, but we suddenly had to go out! But, I ran and gave my present (it was a ring) to Marjolein, and say one-two words (I couldn't say more!... :green: :green: )
But going out, I was very anxious... Will I have a pic with Anneke? Will I give her my present?

Later outside, the band went out... I saw Anneke, I ran to her, she signed my Mandylion copy, and I gave her her present!!! I told her that it was the first time I saw tha band live, and it was a GREAT MOMENT for me!! Later, Sotiris (sotris99) took us a picture, the one in my avatar, and in my signature!!! I can tell you, than when I tried to hug Anneke for the photo, she hugged me too and i felt like "OH, THIS CAN'T BE TRUE!!!"

Last but not least... After the pic, I saw Marjolein (she was the only band member who didn't sing my Mandylion copy) and she signed it! And I say "thank you for the concert", and she said "Oh, I thank YOU for the RING"!!!! :o :D :D :D I felt very weird and nice that moment! When Marjolein and the others went backstages, and we waited them to come out she did open my gift, she saw the ring, she liked it (I hope!) and remembered that it was me who gave it to her!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! I thank YOU Marjolein!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Glad that you finally made it: go to the concert, listen to mandylion songs, talk to the band, give the 2 girls presents, and of course make a photo with Anneke. :wink: Great. See you next time!

How do you make a photo with Anneke? Did you use software specially made for that, or can you do it with MS Paint?
