A bit surprised that I will be the one to start this thread!
So here it goes: Overall :Great!!
It was only the 2nd time I saw them live ( strange!), first one was back in lil'ol' greece. (yes another greek here!)
I think I am gonna divide the review in pros and cons:
PROS:
- Lots of people, great atmosphere! Half of them were greeks :S dont know if that's good or bad![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
- Great performance and amazing sound (except from when Vinnie played the acoustic , you couldn't really hear it). Anathema is one of the bands that are even better live than in their albums. Great dynamics! really building up and delivering the goods![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
- Ship of fools. Cool band. especially in the beginning. Started to get a bit boring with no vocals for someone like me who's never heard anything out of them before, but they were cool. especially the bass player!![Headbang :headbang: :headbang:](/data/assets/smilies/headbang.gif)
CONS:
- 1st support band. Thine... err... dont know... i think they didnt fit at all, plus the vocals were so loud you couldnt hear anything else.
- Setlist! don't know.... I think we all missed the oldies! And I dont mean oldies as in serenates or pentecost, I mean oldies as in silent enigma ,eternity, even alternative 4! :S only one track out of each one more or less... tsk tsk... not even a dying wish! that's a crime. The setlist more or less comprised of judgement and AFDTE tunes. Judgement might even be my fave album, but I think that the difference with the AFDTE was really evident, even live. It somehow feels that the guitars are not the main thing any more, its the vocals. It should be the same IMHO
- No Encore...![Sad :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
