EDIT: Venue announced.
Valby Hallen has housed Slayer, Mastodon, KoRn, and many more hard rock names... and the sound use to be horrible... but i hope it wount be this evening !

Rob801 · September 09, 2011, 10:34:36 AM

I guess that makes two of us then (three since I'm taking my son)

Icebear · September 28, 2011, 12:28:13 AM

This venue is on fire, according to swedish news. Is it still standing?

Rob801 · September 28, 2011, 12:41:37 AM

I was just going to post that... Still standing, but FUCK!!!!!, it still looks pretty serious. Not sure if it will be repaired by Jan. And I reserved a Hotel near by... Non refndable! I hope they play somewhere close by (or move it to Jyttland... then the money I loose on the Hotel would be save on the ferry trip.

Good think I didn't have tickets to the Sex convention that was being held there today

Lotion · September 28, 2011, 06:56:36 AM

Yeeah.. I don't think DT will play there ...

viktorstahl · September 28, 2011, 08:43:58 AM

I wonder what will happen about this show now..

I live in Malmö but am studying 600 km north right now so I was really happy that it at least would be in KB Hallen where I actually know how to get from home in Malmö so I don't need to go to Stockholm fixing living place and such for me and my girlfriend...

Hopefully a reserve venue will be decided and that the gig will be played no matter what!
(Absolute best for me personally, and I know at least.. 6 more people is to move it to Malmö

)

Anyways... I will.. hopefully.. show up now! Earlier it was a definite yes! Despite having no money since I am studying... but that will work out somehow.......

Jalis · September 28, 2011, 11:20:05 PM

Its totally burnt out...

Hope they will find another venue :-)

Rob801 · September 28, 2011, 11:51:41 PM

Billetuglen has a message that they will come with more info as it is available... I'm sure it will stilll be in the Copenhagen area. My wishing it could be moved to Jylland is just that, wishful thinking. I wouldn't want that to happen at others expense

.

That being said, I really wish they would play here on the mainland instead (or at least had a show in Northern Germany ie: Hamburg). It is prohibitively expensive to go to concerts in Copenhagen and we have some really great concert halls inand around Århus (Herning, Horsens, Ålborg).

Genesis, Lady Gaga, U2, Depeche Mode, OZZY

, Madonna, The Police, George Michael, Dio (RIP), Iron Maiden, Saxon... and I could go on and on and on, have all played the places above and drawn huge crowds (ok, Saxon didn't draw a huge crowd but they absolutely rocked! I was very positively surprised... would go see them again).

Rob801 · September 30, 2011, 10:32:05 PM

I got lucky there... it's even closer to my hotel then KB Hallen was

. Now all we need is some more people in here... It's kind of quiet... But it's still a long time until Jan 27 so maybe things will pick up later.

Icebear · October 03, 2011, 02:13:15 PM

As soon as the wife and I have managed to raise the money for the tickets, I'll gladly announce my participation. Right now it's 50/50...

Rob801 · October 04, 2011, 08:39:58 AM

I haven't bought my tickets yet either. I'm waiting for my Box set to arrive on the very off chance that there's a ticket for life in it... I know the chances are small but it would suck to have just bought a ticket and end up being one of the lucky ones.

Anyway I don't think there's any rush. The chances that they sell out at 5000 seats are (unfortunately) pretty small.

Jalis · January 26, 2012, 09:18:27 AM

TOMORROW... Who will be there?

Rob801 · January 26, 2012, 11:10:08 AM

I packing my suitcase as I speak

. I'll probably be one of the few people with a 12 year... it'll be my sons second concert.

Can't wait!

Don Carnage · January 27, 2012, 07:05:32 AM

So, it's 4 hours from now. Getting pretty excited now, since it's only the second time I'll see them live!

I sure hope the sound in that sports hall wont be too terrible to appreciate the great music.

Rob801 · January 27, 2012, 08:52:04 AM

A couple hours to go

I just hope the number of people in this thread doesn't reflect how many will be there tonight $:-\$

Rob801 · January 27, 2012, 10:04:53 AM

Standing in line now... Looks like a good turnout

Rob801 · January 27, 2012, 02:55:19 PM

Just got back to my room... What a f...ing incredible show! We got set B with "As I Am" as encore. The crowd was so pumped I thought we might even get two songs.

JLB was just smokin tonight. I have NEVER heard him sound so good. They were all just pumped and in a great mood and played their asses off. Looked to be an almost full capacity crowd.

MetalJens · January 27, 2012, 02:58:45 PM

For those wondering: The set list was the same as in Sweden, except they played As I Am as encore (instead of PMU). It was also a minor change in the order the songs were played in, but I can't remember the exact order

Great concert!

Again.. 2 nights in a row for me

In comparison with the Oslo concert, I slightly preferred the one in Oslo, mainly due to somewhat better sound (could just be that I was standing closer to the mixing table in Oslo) and I also preferred the "A Set List". However, I thought the danish crowd was somewhat better. And I'm norwegian, so that's definitely not a biased opinion

Estiui · January 27, 2012, 03:11:03 PM

Still cannot believe that they've chosen AIA as an encore

Elite · January 27, 2012, 03:24:54 PM

As I Am as encore? That's bad. Real bad.

Rob801 · January 27, 2012, 03:30:30 PM

I wanted A but really enjoyed TDEN more than I thought I would (a lot actually).

I was directly behind the sound board up in the bleachers (only way my son could have a chance to see at 1.5m tall) and the sound was really good IMO. MUCH better then I was expecting... but not with Periphery. With them all I could hear were drums and a wall of indistinguishable noise, which had me worried for a while til DT started and everything was clear for me.

I'm glad we got AIA since I was expecting PMU

. I also loved TWIMH and TTTSTA.

The crowd didn't seem to mind...

Mastervai · January 27, 2012, 04:46:35 PM

Fantastic show.

Jlb was the most amazing i've ever seen him (4 times since 2002 i think).

He really sang his heart out, and the crowd responce was amazing.

Set list was almost perfect, i would have liked something from octavarium or Black clouds instead of wdadu and sc. But the set actually worked great with a perfect mix of soft / hard / light / shade.

Good Night

Yeah

I always hated the song... yet it's just one song in a set, and does not ruin the whole show with its mere presence.

Actually, your grammar was better than some of those here with English as a first language.

weezul · January 27, 2012, 07:36:45 PM

i would take As I am a thousand times over Pull Me Under as an encore!!! Now perfect your combo with TROAE and As I Am encore!!!

My thoughts exactly. Wish we got that in the U.S instead of PMU.

Ħ · January 28, 2012, 01:17:06 AM

As I Am is one of their best songs...better than PMU in my opinion. Why shouldn't they play it?

Dreamer81 · January 28, 2012, 01:41:13 AM

I don't agree with you, but anyways, the problem I see there is that AIA is not a song, IMO, for an encore.

Same here. Maybe A Fortune In Lies would fit better: surprising intro, climatic ending with a great solo. Just a bit short to close a concert, but it could make a quick and powerful ending, if we want to stick with the song that currently are in the setlist.

If not, well, some say you cannot leave the venue without Metropolis, right?

moffatt · January 28, 2012, 06:43:29 AM

Definately a bonus for me to have AIA instead of PMU, hope its played at Wembley.

this. PMU is played nearly all the time, sometimes change is good
