Many great gigs last year:
The Gathering in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Czech Republic & Finland JUST AWESOME, the setlist they had for the ANS tour was incredible, even though i think the band was not bonded anymore, and that was a little bit sad to see on stage, anyhow the sound was great and i enjoyed every minute of them all, my highlights are the second Buenos Aires night and the last gig in Ankkarock, special vibes, the kind that you hardly forget EVER.
Roger Waters playing the Dark Side of the Moon, an absolutely perfect concert, i finally got to listen to "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" which has been a personal favourite for so many years, the whole concert was very nice, the screens, the pigs, the musicians involved, a must see.
Lisa Gerrard, since i never had the chance to see her before i have no memories from her to compare to, but the show was incredibly good, she has a very beautiful powerful voice that just give you the goosebumps no matter what she is singing, im in love with her, i would deffo see her again, she creates some sort of spell to the audience, and is like the whole world doesnt even exist outside of the venue. *sighs*
Katafuckin'tonia twice in a row, after aaaaaaaall those years, just magnificent, Jonas's voice totally blew me away since the first word on the mic, listening to songs i have so many times cried and screamed to was amazing. The crowd was inmensely happy to, not only myself, everyone singing, a great atmosphere and think i found some peace after it.
My Dying Bride, 45 little minutes
even tho i saw them at a festival and the set was awfully short i enjoyed very much seeing Aaron for the first time after so many years, (same case than with katatonia, but not emotional), Catherine Blake was gorgeous, that was the whole trip to fuckin Hildesheim worth it
i really need to see them again, and this time with a full set.
Nine Inch Nails, saw them for the second time at Ankkarock, not too short set, mainly played songs from Year Zero, and of course some of the classics. I am under the tricks of Mr.Trent Reznor, once he's on stage i can barely take my eyes off of him, a phantastic presence and voice, i was really happy to see this band live again, my first time was in 2005 here in Mexico City and im so hoping they come this year again
Tool, at the same festival of My Dying Bride, 1.30 hrs of set which was pretty okay but not enough, i was already a fan before seeing them live, i just didnt think they were so good on stage, pure energy, oh boy was that good, incredible, no other words describe it. I felt like i had tried some drugs before the show, i was just into it, jumping and headbanging the whole time, gotta see them again too.
Porcupine Tree, also finally, they are incredible live, that is something we all agree with i think, they were not in my top list, i have always thought Steven Wilson is an amazing composer but since the concert im even more addicted, of course they played the gorgeous new CD, although i really missed Arriving Somewhere, that was not cool
very good sound, great musicians.
Sooooo, 2007 was amazing concertwise for me, this year i hope to finafuckingly see Pelican, Neurosis, Isis, A Silver Mt. Zion, Tori Amos and who knows? maybe even some Anathema again. Cheers
