Thanks for the greatest thing to happen to NZ since the invention of the toaster!

[fränzi]

Yep, we invented the toaster. But who gives a shit. I just had an extremely awesome night out.

I'm tired and only got home a while ago, so I'll rant later. I have like 50 photos and some vids.

Oh yeah, they played auckland tonight didn't they. 'gratz guys, hope you enjoyed it. And to that guy we met at Melb #2 who was from NZ, especially hope you enjoyed it, man.

 

[biggsy]

im sure nz has invented something cooler... and probably to do with sheep

hope you had fun, and post that frickin setlist!

 

[fränzi]

Seriously, I think Mike used every swear word in the English language.

Here's the set (in best order as I can remember)

Ghost of Perdition
White Cluster
The Amen Corner
Baying of the Hounds
Under the Weeping Moon
Closure
The Grand Conjuration
The Leper Affinity

Encores:
Deliverance
Demon of the Fall

Yeah, he felt generous and gave us two.

 

[Pethical]

so base 9 + demon. ok i guess, but melb 2 crushes all!

 

[Ermz]

Is Melb 2 gonna live on as some subculture thing in the minds of all those who witnessed it?

 

[biggsy]

thats a good set

YES! You well know it was the greatest night ever. i want to make a "i witnessed melb 2 '06" shirt. fuck it was spectacular

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, it was quite the night. Wish the band hung with us more afterwards though.

 

[Pethical]

i think we all got our fair share. cant expect them to stay there forever when they have such a busy shedule.

 

[biggsy]

are you gonna keep tormenting me?

 

[fränzi]

It was awesome when we arrived at the venue, because we went around the back and heard them rehearsing GoP from inside.
Then, about 20 mins later, the guys came out and I got to shake Mendez's and Mike's hand and get some photos. Hopefully if my mate's USB port stops screwing up I can post them, along with some concert shots too (though I imagine there will be plenty of those coming.)

 

[kurdt]

That was pretty fucken sweet!!

 

[Pethical]

prob should move this to the other NZ threads. we dont need 3

 

[Ermz]

consider it merged. wish people would check the forum before posting sometimes!

 

[Nichtsicher]

We should make T-Shirts

"I was there at Melbourne 2"

Yeah, if White Cluster had been replaced with April Ethereal, I would have been even happier.
