Title: 2014-02-03 - Cibona - Zagreb, CRO
Post by: philmcson on June 29, 2013, 07:35:48 AM
Think I won't be the only DTFer attending this gig  :tup

To add some trivia, the concert is being played in Croatia's biggest basketball stadium which is named after their most famous basketball player who even had a successful NBA career (playing for Portland Trail Blazers and NJ Nets) before he died in a car accident in 1993.
About 5 concerts are held there every year and I'm really curious about how good the sound will be.....

Me and two friends of mine bought ticket on discount ( and two other friends may go as well, I'm proud of myself :D ). About venue, were DT playing in Cibona in 2007?

ja imam podvojene dojmove. koncert je brzo prošao znači bilo je zanimljivo, ali dosta pjesama sam samo čekao da završe. najviše sam emotivno doživio zadnji set SFAM i samo te zadnje 4 pjesme dižu ocjenu koncerta za 1-2 ocjene. jos bi izdvojio SDV i IT te BAI i TLG

Meni je bilo odlično, sve 5 pogotovo zadnje 4 pjesme sa SFAM-a. James bez greške otpjevao, ostatak banda isto. Bojao sam se za zvuk ali ispalo je super, sve se lijepo čulo i nije bilo preglasno.

Je li dvorana bila puna?

Je li itko bio na "Meet & Greet"? Ako jeste, kako je to ispalo?

TRANSLATION for the non-Croats in the crowd:

Was the venue full?

Was anyone at the "Meet & Greet"? If so, how did that transpire?

Ja sam u Pragu slušao, prije nekoliko dana, bilo je fantastično. Jedino je publika bila malo mlitava.

Zanima me kakva je publika u Zagrebu bila?

Ja sam bio naprijed na parteru i na većini pjesama su ljudi bili raspoloženi, ali je James u par navrata pokazivao tribinama da se probude.

Show went great, James was on fire and smiling a lot, rest of band also was great. I was a bit worried about the sound being too loud but whoever was responsible for sound did a great job (I was in the frong and everything was audible).
Ellinor asked about crowd. People in standing area were great, singing, clapping etc. but James called people in seating area to participate more.

Overall positive vibes and reviews of the Zagreb show last night from those in attendance. And also a bit of Jordan (he speaks in English  ;)) talking about funny occurrences at concerts and the time that his slanting keyboard locked into position and he had to play the rest of the show at that weird angle of attack.

Anyone have footage of that one? I think that would be a howl to watch. Too bad that never made one of the official video releases.  ;D

Yeah, it was pretty cool but I disliked the PA sound.... compared to Ljubljana the day after, the Croatian audience was much more enthusiastic but the sound in Slovenia was "cleaner" and the Slovenians showed more respect towards the newer stuff, especially Illumination theory. When that song started in Zagreb, I looked a bit around just to see faces like  :huh:

 :facepalm:

Great pictures!  Mangini looked wiped out in the last picture.  The whole band must be in great shape after many back to back shows.

You welcome! Thanks!

Yeah, they are in their typical well oiled virtuoso machine shape, just amazing playing. Mangini is a beast, it felt like drum kit will fall apart till the end of the show  ;D   :metal
