It was like heaven!

Dunc, you missed quite a lot!

For people who are interested, don't start crying you didn't come. I think this was the best anathemashow I've ever seen. Lot of energic songs, altough they slowed a bit down at the end... Pretty strange they didn't played A Dying Wish, but really, it doesn't was missing in this heavy set! This is the playlist:
Fragile Dreams(the headbanging version :headbang: ,not the quiet one)
Pressure (Heiko noticed it was played pretty heavy

)
Empty
Far Away
Eternity part III (yeah! 2 eternity-songs!)
Judgement
Panic
A Fine Day to Exit
Temporary Peace
2000 & Gone (with lyrics!!!Danny what was it Vinnie was singing?)
And because we were too noisy at the end we've got an encore you won't believe it: they played COMFARTABLY NUMB again :headbang:
 
You lucky chaps,you!:( is it my impression,or Anathema are again fond of "heavier sounds"?Jamie boy,did you do what you had promised????????;) Nice one!!!
Hope to see 'em play some older stuff sometime in the future....
*dies to see Kingdom and We the Gods live*

I can guess what you are talking about! Is it about that hippotamus?! He said it in Dutch, but I will translate Jamie's joke.
"Attention, attention! There is a hippotamus loose on the camping. I repeat, there is a hippotamus loose on the camping. So 10 minutes" :lol:

Yes indeed I was very much impressed. I don't think this was the best Anathema gig I ever saw, I know it for sure!

The first couple of songs were really heavy, and good enough to blow anyone there away. The festival had been pretty calm all day long. Most of the stuff played there was pop music, with some rockbands, some nu metal and some hardcore and some punkrock here and there. But when Anathema started to play... oh my!

They started 15 minutes late because Danny's plane was delayed. But then, when they got on stage, they started to play Fragile Dreams. And from the first seconds already, it was clear that it was going to be heavy. And heavy it was!

On Pressure, the lead guitar had some distortion, good enough to put it more upfront compared to the album version. Then some faster and harder songs after that (see the setlist) and finally a bit of relaxing (good enough to take some breath again after all the jumping, banging and screaming).

Glad that that girl who was presenting the festival let us cheer for Anathema, so that they could come back for an additional song. Nice to hear Comfortably Numb again :)

One little hint for the lads: drop A Fine Day to Exit for Release or so ;)

And although A Dying Wish is one of my favourite tracks, I didn't miss it really so much. Would've been nice to hear it, but even without, it was the best Anathema gig I saw.

Not been on here for a while cos computer blew up. Thought I'd mention Huntenpop. Danny, God bless his little cotton socks, had forgotten his passport and had to return to Liverpool by himself, from Dover,to get it(about 300 miles I guess). He flew to Amsterdam, and then worked his way across Holland, without any cash, by hiding in the Dutch train's toilets. His final journey was by a Porsche sent by the Huntenpop people to pick him up at Doetinchem station. Well done you Huntenpop guys. The Porsche sped into the Festival, Danny got out and went straight on stage....The Huntenpop people were great again by putting the gig back 15 minutes. A huge sigh of relief went out from the rest of Anathema(who were all geared up to doing a 4 man gig)and Vinnie thanked the crowd for waiting, and vowed that they would sing their hearts out as a thank you. It was all fast songs all the way(nearly) from them and the hour gig went over in a flash. I enjoyed it immensely. The waiting for Danny had built up their adrenalin and they really used it well.
