As I already wrote in my first thread when I was on the boat the setlist was:
1. Master's Apprentice
2. The Drapery Falls
3. Baying of the Hounds
4. Harvest (special version!)
5. Serenity painted death
6. Heir Apparent (from the new album, Watershed)
7. Demon of the Falls
**Not so sure about the order**
So first thing, as soon as I arrived the terminal I already noticed Fredrick and Martin Mendez with their gear.
Yes, every artists carried his own instruments on board and we all boarded the ship from the same entrance.
So as u can realize the atmosphere of hanging out with the artists had started even then.
First thing I got on the boat with my friend. She didn't know the boat so I showed her around since it wasn't my first time on board Silja's Symphony. So while we were walking near the main stage looking at the gear set up, I bumped into Mikael.
he was so nice to me. I was so excited to meet him! barely knew what to say hehehhehehe... hey Mikael, if u read this, then thanks for your patience!
So after we met Mikael the band started to set up their instruments and do a little warm up and I was surprised to see that nobody stood in front of the stage. As u can see in the picture nobody is standing near the fence. People was just sitting in the sits surrounding the stage. So I kindda felt stupid to go there all by myself but later on I met two american guys and we went to the front like we were supposed to be!
They played Master's Apprentice as a warm up. Was totally cool
Then after the warm up we went to take some pictures with the rest. They were totally cool.
Here's me with Axe. Funny guy. And here's a sad story for you:
We bumped into each other in the toilet and I asked him when is he going to perform with his girlfriend, since they were supposed to have a gig together and then he said "Mate, we already performed". I felt so ashamed cuz me and my friends were busy drinking all the time and we ended up missing it. So that's an important lesson. Don't do drinking on a boat with your favorite band on it!
Here's me with Martin who offered me a seat next to him.
We had a little chat and of course I asked him about his hair hehehehhee
Now to break all stupid rumors, He has done it to himself! No hair dresser making mistake or any other shit like that. I also asked him about Martin Lopez. He said that he's feeling fine and right now playing in some bands.
Fredrick and Me. I met him while he and Marin had a smoke together. Later on we bumped into each other few times after they performed. He was so cool asking how am I doing each time he saw me and asking if I enjoyed the show. Totally cool guy! Fred, you rulez man!!
I didn't have a picture with Per. He seemed busy all the time, carrying equipment from one side to another and some times hanging in front of the stage with some friends so I just didn't wanna interrupt
NEXT TIME!!!
My friends and me
Here're some pictures from the gig itself. I was standing half a meter from Mikael. Got smashed a little bit against the fence but FUCK IT!! it was for a good cause!!
First me with the crowd. Some of u guys might be in the photos too
I barely managed to take pictures during the show and not to speak about video clips. People were pushing all the time and only when we got to Harvest it was safe to take some pictures since people were CALM hehehhe
They played Harvest differently which I kindda donno how to explain because of my lacking english LOL but it was very calm and slow and they used Wah Wah to play the whole song. Totally different from the album or the DVD. some will say it was like Jazz but I'm not so good categorizing music.
Martin, a bit weird to see him with short hair but nevertheless he still head banged!
I tried to get Fred's pic but it was hard from my position.
I have some video clip from the warm up so I'll see how am I going to upload em.
Photographers were all over and they were filming the whole event so a DVD will be out!
And now about Peter.
I met a guy on the boat who was a friend of Peter. First thing he said that Mikael asked Peter to join them on the boat as an observer of course but he declined cuz he didn't want to be annoyed by people asking "why did u leave?" He said that Peter is working in the IT field right now and he's very happy about it. He said that for Peter, the moment music began to be a job he felt that its not right anymore.
And that's quite it... the best event of my life! something that will stick in my memory for life.
Thanks for reading guys. Hope u liked it.
Cheers to Opeth!!
