ANGRA's 14th Anniversary Show Witnessed By Nearly 4,400 People: Photos Available - Nov. 10, 2005 Brazilian melodic metallers ANGRA have posted the following message on thei official web site:
"ANGRA [performed at] the Via Funchal in São Paulo, Brazil, last Sunday November 5th. To celebrate the band's 14th anniversary, the huge venue held the longest show ever in their career a total running time of almost three hours which was witnessed by nearly 4,400 people.
"Absolutely in ecstasy (some of them truly touched), the fans went crazy with the 25-song set. It included, among other things, the execution of every single track from the groups latest studio album the amazing 'Temple of Shadows' and a special medley that resumed the whole of the band's career. Such medley comprised parts of seventeen songs and was executed in the latter half of the show. It began with an outstanding surprise guitar player Rafael Bittencourt sang the opening verses of 'Stand Away' and ended triumphantly with a thunderous rendition of 'Running Alone'.
"Not only that, though, as the show included a few other unforgettable attractions as well. Some guest musicians were invited to further enlighten ANGRA's performance. A couple of them had actually taken part of the 'Temple of Shadows' recording sessions. Such was the case of percussionist Douglas Las Casas, who showed his skills in many songs during the set, and the renowned Brazilian pianist Sílvia Góes, who played 'Sprouts of Time' alongside the band. Last but not least, local female singer Sandra Félix sang 'No Pain for the Dead'.
"Nevertheless, nothing of that would diminish the more than special participation in the festivities of a true living legend. Kai Hansen, former HELLOWEEN guitar player/singer and currently leading GAMMA RAY, showed up on the stage to sing 'Temple of Hate' with the band. He was clearly amazed by the audience reaction to his presence and would come to the stage again to play guitar and sing during the execution of the HELLOWEEN hit 'I Want Out'. People went nuts and the sheer state of joy in the crowd remained intact until the very last number of the show was presented: 'Nova Era', one of ANGRA's classics and the perfect ending for such an special evening!"
