Hi, yesterday I've been to this unique gig by Anneke. It was great! It's very special to enjoy Anneke performing solo. And the surrounding (a living room) was perfect. There were about 50 people in the audience, including familie/boyfriend of the artists. And even 2 people from Germany and somebody from England who travelled such a long distance to see Anneke (and the other artists)! There were 3 artists performing this evening: Jente van Eck (Pleasing Jill), Jasper Vergeet (Undeclinable) and Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering as we all know). All singing + playing guitar. Each playing 3 songs, then there was a break followed by another 3 songs each. And as a kind of final they performed one song all together. The two other artists played very nice too. I didn't know them before. Besides some songs of The Gathering, Anneke did some unreleased songs and a cover too.
Setlist of Anneke:
1. 'My electricity'
2. 'Notthemostprettygirl'
a beautiful song!
3. 'Bath of misery'
4. 'Jelena'
5. 'Joe's barroom' (Anneke singing with a high voice)
6. 'Locked away'
7. Extra song (encore): 'St. Teresa' of Joan Osborne
I've made some pictures of Anneke and the other artists. I'll put them online soon. The organization made some pictures as well. Those will appear on their website
