Within Temptation @ Bêkefeesten (Bathmen, NL) - 30.05.2008

This concert was clearly better than the previous one in Bathmen two years ago. Tonight, Within Temptation played just before they trip to Spain. So they seemed perfectly rested. Therefore, they conveyed to the show a good energy. The fireworks were nice, and the Dutch audience was totally into it. Once again, the concert was visually perfect!

Delain @ Bêkefeesten (Bathmen, NL) - 30.05.2008

For starters, let’s say that Charlotte was just stunning. She was very smiling, relaxed and enjoying herself. After a series of concerts that didn’t went smoothly, this event was the perfect occasion to shine, and they did! No technical problem this time. All the band members were very happy to play. Let’s hope this night was the sign that luck has turned!

Good Things End @ Bêkefeesten (Bathmen, NL) - 30.05.2008

This rock band was the first one to play that night. They were very dynamic on stage, which is a really good thing. But, unfortunately, there were two many quiet songs in the setlist and the atmosphere wasn’t “deep” enough to allow the audience to stay focused onto the show. Besides, instead of trying until the end, a few of the band members lost their concentration as well.

Kingfisher Sky @ Boerderij (Zoetermeer, NL) - 17.05.2008

This gig was one of the best of 2008. The special energy that radiated that night was exceptional. What’s really amazing is that Kingfisher Sky is very young, but they already display a kind of unity that makes them shine altogether, along with their music. It was very nice to have a cello player as a live guest. The sound of the different instruments was perfectly set, especially the drums, which (sadly) reminded the early stages of Within Temptation.

CUE @ Boerderij (Zoetermeer, NL) - 17.05.2008

This 5-months old band performed in an extremely interesting way. First of, their musical genre is fusion, which is characterized by variations in tempo and rhythm. But each one of the dynamics that the band chose to play was linked to the other ones by a story that the singer was reading with a perfect British and charismatic accent. The atmosphere that they manage to build was an ideal opening for Kingfisher Sky.

Epica @ Tivoli (Utrecht, NL) - 16.05.2008

It had been a long time since our last concert of Epica, and, despite all of the critics that we expressed regarding Simone in the past, we were delighted to see her back on stage. This concert was unique since the band played their debut album The Phantom Agony. It was a great present for the fans, and the perfect way to welcome back Simone, who totally enjoyed herself on stage. And bravo for the special disco version of the song The Phantom Agony!

Delain @ Tivoli (Utrecht, NL) - 16.05.2008

To be perfectly honest, this concert wasn’t so good. The sound was very bad set, and, because of a technical problem, Charlotte couldn’t hear herself and the show had to stop for a few minutes. As a consequence, the setlist was shortened, and both the band and the audience weren’t into the show. It was pretty chaotic. Let’s hope it won’t happen again.

Agua de Annique @ Le Splendid (Lille, FR) - 26.04.2008

It was nice to hear the first notes of Lost and Found again. The venue was less crowded than in Paris, but the people were very enthusiastic as well. The sound was once again really good, and the voice of Anneke was once again perfect. The cover of Earth and Fire had again a very energizing effect. As for Witnesses... Please don’t stop playing it: “It’s such a wonderful feeling”!
