Thank you!
A short review:
The show started late.
Xandria played first. I really didn't like this band, but the members were very exited with the audience
Stream of Passion is a band I respect and like a lot. Many fans of Arjen were there just to see the band, and sadly they left when Anathema appeared on stage. I enjoyed very much their performance. THis was a band I also wanted to see playing live
.
Finally Anathema!!!!
I really couldn't believe they were there, playing... Some friends and me went to the airport to say hello
but even there I couldn't believe it.
Concerts in here are very different from the european. We have to wait for hours outside the venue so we can be on the first row, and once inside we were pushed by hundreds of fans... but it was worth it.
The set:
01.-Shroud of false
02.-Fragile dreams
03.-Balance
04.-Closer
05.-Lost Control
06.-Deep
07.-Forgotten hopes
08.-Destiny is dead
09.-Empty
10.-A natural disaster
11.-Ann further
12.-Inner silence
13.-One last goodbye
14.-Hope
15.-Eternity III
16.- Judgment
17.- Panic
18.- Temporary Peace
19.- Flying
(ENCORE)
20.- Angelica
21.- A dying wish
22.- Sleepless
23.- Comfortably numb
I must say I couldn't hold some tears during the concert, because this is a band I deeply respect too, music and lyrics are very emotional, and Vincent's voice is one of my favourites. I had a magical time listening live all of those songs. Vinny and Danny were very grateful with the audience, at one point Vinny got off stage to be close to the people and to friendly kiss a girl, hehe (pitty it wasn't me).
People who didn't know that much about Anathema also enjoyed the show, and as for me, well, I ended up really tired but very happy. There are some videos
right here. I haven't found pics of that night yet. Cameras are not allowed there.
Faridee took this pic at the airport when they arrived: Danny and me
