Pleased to hear everyone enjoyed it. I didn't think it was all that great, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I love the band's style and I think they're one of the most sympathetic bands around. I have some fond memories of being blown away (absolutely blown the f**k away - my brother as well, and he saw them for the first time that night) by A Simple Mistake and Universal live during a gig in Enschede (Atak), in front of merely 200 people. The Paradiso gig was fine as well, albeit cracks were starting to show here and there. This gig had more of them, too many. I don't want to ruin those great memories, so I'm going to give Anathema a rest for a while.
They're becoming a bigger band now, playing larger shows, but I can feel an awkwardness to it. I can't describe it. I'm not gonna say anything more about it because this band deserves all the support they can get and I don't want to badmouth them in any way.
Okay..err....just this: LOSE THE 'ORION' COVER. WTF? Weirdest placement of a track ever in a live show.
