Words can not express how great last nights Evergrey concert were. The ones who were there will know what I mean and the unfortunate ones that weren't will hopefully be able to get a glimpse of the magic on the upcoming DVD. I say a glimpse because I'm not sure the DVD will be able to do it justice. I'm not saying that the DVD will be bad, far from it, I believe it will be great! It's just that this night had something that no camera can ever capture. Pure musical magic. The guys were on fire, the stage was great and the fans even better! I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to fans from Scotland, Spain, Germany, Holland, Norway and USA. To all of you who traveled here only to see the band and then hurrying home the next day I can only say cheers! You truly are great fans and it was an honour to enjoy this evening with you all! Hope you had a safe journey home and perhaps I'll see you all on another occasion.
So what of the gig itself you might ask? Well I've been to many Evergrey gigs but this one surpassed them all. They played songs from all albums and a string quartet from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra joined in for some of the songs making them sound even more alive than before. For those of you who want to know the setlist to the DVD, this is what they played
Blinded
End of Your Days
More Than Ever
She Speaks to the Dead
Rulers of the Mind
Blackened Dawn
Waking Up Blind
As I Lie Here Bleeding
Misled
Mark of the Triangle
- The String Quartet Enters
When The Walls Go Down
Harmless Wishes
Essence of Conviction
Solitude Within
Nosferatu
Recreation Day
- The String Quartet Leaves
For Every Tear That Falls
A Touch of Blessing
The Masterplan
This night was truly a night to remember!
