the Metal Granny will play again! 
I had to change my place because the drummer was covering the Metal Granny.
It was such a pleasure to look at that woman how she enjoyed the music and smiled all the time!
The show was superb, the organization, Epica, the choir and the orchestra. The sound was perfect, you could hear every instrument. The lights and the atmosphere too.

They played all my favourite songs!
I liked them all except for Living a Lie. They changed it... no grunts, no priest voice, different melody... I didn't like it.
But that is the only thing I didn't like that evening. When they left the stage before the encore I shouted "Sancta Terra! Sancta Terra! Sancta Terra! ...." and when they returned they started playing exactly that one!
Only that moment was worth my whole trip.
And that was not the only coincidence that evening... after the 3rd classical piece I said to myself: "Where the heck is Simone!?" and couple of seconds after that she appeared on the stage! People immediately rushed to the stage, me included. So much about the sitting...
I recorded the piece In The Hall Of The Mountain King from Grieg's Peer Gynt (
), zoomed the Metal Granny at one point of course.
I wanted to record something from Epica's part but before that the organizers announced twice that the recording was to be strictly forbidden. So I didn't, and according to YouTube the other people didn't record anything too.
But something can be seen
here.
It was funny that someone from the audience threw a white wig onto the stage at the end of song The Phantom Agony and Simone put it on the head.
Simone with the white wigSimone was beautiful, singing as well as in studio, headbanging even better and also air drumming during the songs. I like mezzo-sopranos more than sopranos in general. She reminds me to Tarja in lots of aspects...
I'm also glad that I meant Lasse.
I made only one pic of the gig.
A magical evening...
