First of all, about the bad garbage. The idiots at the show last night couldn't ruin the greatest concert I've ever been to. Out of the 26 years i've been going to gigs, but they sure tried.
I think there were too many tickets sold for that venue. The heat was fucking incredible. They should have had fans and given more water out. A few times I felt so dizzy and dehydrated. The barrier was just too low for what went on. It was a GREAT thing cause we were so close to the band. It was a terrible thing cause we couldn't grab onto anything when all the idiots kept trying to surge forward. Had the barrier been closer to chest high, it would have been easier to keep the retards at bay.I swear we were close to a brawl. The heat didn't help. When Lacuna was playing, there were times I was getting blinded by my sweat pouring into my eyes. I coudn't see anything.
On the other hand. The crowd gave an incredible respone for all the bands.
Within Temptation comes on. Sharon is inches away from us belting out songs with that amazing voice. Getting the crowd into every minute of it. They were even better than I expected them to be. I have seen the Within Temptation DVD's but you have to experience bands to really find out what they are made of and Within Temptation are an amazing live band. No doubt about it. It was so much fun to be there. To top it all off, me and Anthony had the best view in the place, front center. Then Sharon is saying something about the song "What Have You Done". Next thing I know she is doing the fucking song and handing the mic to Anthony3 for the Caputo parts! The bastard is singing it better than Caputo! It was totally crazy. I couldn't believe it! LMFAO. Every song ruled. The sound was great for their set. I can't wait to see them Friday in San Francisco.
The crowd reaction to them was so huge, I was worried that the greatest band there will ever be, would have a let down. It never happened. We had to make some noise for our band! It was great. The band sounded perfect. I know they made some new fans at the Seattle show.
Other than the heat and lack of water, it was already going down as my favorite gig ever.
I got a couple decent pics of The Gathering and Within Temptation but when Lacuna started playing I had to use what energy I had left, fighting from getting my legs crushed into the barrier, headbanging, and singing. I didnt even try to take pics of them at this show.
When Lacuna started playing, that's when problems really started happening for us. People started trying to surge forward. Where the hell could they go? It wasn't too bad, for the other bands sets. Some people just have no brain at all. Regardless of all that crap. The Coil brought on another great performance. The place was going nuts. By the time it was over, I think even Cristina said it was the best show they ever had been a part of, or something like that. It really was.
I got to see my favorite band and my 3 favorite singers playing back to back.
Now if we can just get The Gathering to tour with Within Temptation in the states, when they come back around in September. Those bands were perfect playing back to back, and fans of WT that were behind me started asking me questions about The Gathering (cause I had a TG shirt on). They really enjoyed TG and even asked me what country they were from. Despite the fact that they had come there to see Within Temptation, they had never even heard of The Gathering before. A US tour of Within Temptation and The Gathering, could only be a great thing for both bands.
