Last friday I attended a long-awaited concert by Spock's Beard! :D

I bought tickets to see them when I first heard about their tour (back in
January) and waited very anxiously for friday to come 'round.
When I read they were also going to be shooting for a DVD I knew this concert
was going to be absolutely awesome.
I went there together with Ed, Lenna, Michel and Ralph and what a concert it
was!!

When we arrived there there were some initial problems: when we parked the car
it landed in kind of a ditch and we had to be towed out (at the time of this
happening we were unsure if we'd even get to attend the concert) luckily
things turned out okay in time as we managed to get towed out by a friendly
bystanderd (who had a car and the tools requires to pull us out).
After that ordeal we entered the venue just after the opening act by Steve
Thorne had started and after buying three Spock's Beard T-Shirts, we went into
the room and we slowly drove our way forward through the crowd and eventually
had reasonably good positions in the crowd; we stood in the center behind just
4/5 rows of people. :D

I have to say, Steve Thorne really sucked, I really didn't like the music he
was playing (except for one song called "The Last Line" which was kind of okay
but still very lacking..).
After he got of the stage (he played for thirty minutes or so) Spock's Beard
finally got on the stage and I (together with the crowd) yelled my heart out
to greet them.

What an incredible concert this has been, with loads and loads of highlights
which will all be on the DVD (hopefully also including a small hilarious
dialogue I had with the keyboardist Ryo which killed the crowd and myself
laughing: the bandmembers were asking eachother how they were doing, and I
yelled "Ogenki desu ka?!" -- meaning "How are you?!" in Japanese -- at Ryo and
was promptly answered with "Fuck you!" :D). :D

They played the roof of in their 3 hours worth of music ranging for lots of
albums (including Alan's "4 O'clock And Hysteria")!
Too bad nothing from Snow was played but Thoughts Part 2 more than made up for
that. :D

Anyway, in all it was one of the best concerts I attended so far and I'm
looking forward to seeing myself on the DVD (and re-watching the concert over
and over and ov- you get the point :D). :D
