So who is going to which gig?

I'm going to The Peel - unfortunately Rotherham looks thwarted by the demon that is work (meant to finish at 5pm many miles away with two cities in the way) and although i will be south of London, the journey home after Poole seems a trip too far. And traveling across the water will happen one day...

So which gigs are everyone else going to?

 

[forgottenglory]

If I wasn't going to Mauritius for holidays, I would definitely have attended the Kingston gig which would be a bus ride away from London!

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

So is no-one else going to one of these gigs???

 

[Iris0367]

I'm going to Uden and Vosselaar.
(If I ever get there - I'm using public transport)

 

[Fortune]

Uden for me.
I'll take pictures...or try, at least, since the lighting there wasn't very good last weekend with Saga/It Bites.

 

[Astrid]

I am going to Uden, Vosselaar and Zaandam. Not too long now, woo-hoo!!

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

Great - I was getting worried

I think Terri is going to the peel - any others going to the UK gigs?

 

[Terri]

Yes, I'll see you at the Peel BDTM.
Although Poole would appear to be closer to the Isle of Wight, I think I said somewhere previously that travelling home from there on a Sunday night is not good when I have to work the next morning. So Kingston it is

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

Blimey - only two days to go

Good luck to the band with this mini tour - looking forward to a few pics and reviews

 

[Astrid]

Just got home from Uden and I'm exhausted, so this will be very short. Really cool show, big surprise (for me anyway): Days of Dearth!


One down, two to go - Astridzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[forgottenglory]

big surprise (for me anyway): Days of Dearth!

Awesome! I always wanted this song played live...finally it's good to hear some of the obscure, yet excellent tracks unearthed!:hotjump:

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

Always good to get a surprise or two - looking forward to a longer review

 

[Ayreonaut]

wll don;t expect my pics of tomight before tomorrow...

But at least i have a new lens for my camera, so no more switching between 3 lenses and missing stuff. Now all i need is a 2nd body for the other lens. Pentax better hurry with that K30D.

Hi everyone,

Here's the setlist for the Uden show:

Slipstream
Pressure
Days Of Dearth
The Ravages Of Time
Hollow
Exposed
Oceanbound
Elusive
Long Way Home
Part Of The Chaos
Light And Space
Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams
One Degree Down
Mission Profile

Encore:

Falling Away
This Is Your Life

The setlist for the Biebob show was the same order, but they did not play "Oceanbound" and " Elusive" there. Not sure why not, maybe because of the fact that they had 2 opening bands instead of 1.
I enjoyed both shows very very much. Lots of energy and enthusiasm, it was really contageous. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't write reviews very well. I hope other people that were there are better at it.
I've got one tip for the people that are after the very rare La Salle CD's. Damian's brought his spare copies and they are sold at the merchandise stand!! Please say hi to Kelly for me
I've taken tons of pictures and will probably take "a few" more tonight. Will post them as soon as I can. For everyone who's going to see Threshold this coming week: have LOADS of fun!!

Astrid xx

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

Thanks for the set list info - any chance someone, anyone, could upload a couple of pics at least? It will make waiting for Saturday a little easier!!!

 

[Ayreonaut]

sorry no time, you´ll have to do with this one for now

 

[Astrid]

The setlist for De Kade in Zaandam was the same as for Biebob. A very well-informed source (hellooooo) told me they could only play a 100 minute set, that's why they skipped the two songs. I guess those of us who saw Threshold in Uden were lucky then
Working on my pics, but it's not going very fast, I'm afraid.
Take care all!

 

[forgottenglory]

^ Nice one Ayreonaut!

 

[Ayreonaut]

Well this time i used my new lens a 16-50 mm F2.8 so you can expect more total stageviews and fullbody shots instead of just close-ups...

i just need to edit everything, because it was quite dark in Zaandam and i do not flash...
