i hate that smiley, what do you mean by it? actually not really(at least not as "tourism" sadly ), i try to update the chances of getting to certain gigs according to current events, so there's a lower chance that i'll get to Wacken/Summer Breeze, the almighty $$$ is absolutely killing me.

i'm probably gonna get a scholarship in Spain and so going to Madrid for this gig would be pretty easy, seeing as you can get there easily from pretty much any point in the country. if i get it, that is, so that's why i put the chance.

As you say i hope that the gig is great, this will be my first BG concert compadre .

Yeah! I have my ticket!!

Valhalla!!

Yeah man! today is the day!

Well, just got back from the concert, Blind guardian leaves you really hypnotized. They had a screen in their back which they were showing different scenarios, like a forest with "The Bard's Song", into the up of a tower, etc, they seems that really they played inside these scenarios. The concert was awesome, exciting, epic, tremendous, i love this sound. Has totally exceeded my expectations. The setlist was:


Majesty - Well, it was ok for me.
Valhalla - The same.
Welcome To Dying - Absolutely awesome.
Traveler In Time - One of the best.
Lord Of The Rings - A big surprise, it sounded grandiose, a lot more grandiose than the studio version, superlative. One of the best, or the best. Magical meeting with Blind Guardian.
A Past And Future Secret - my god, another grandiose song, the same that Lord Of The Rings, but Lord Of The Rings impressed me more.
Born In A Mourning Hall - One of the best.
Imaginations From The Other Side - One of the best, but the best.
Nightfall - Incredible, one of the best.
Mirror Mirror - They finished the concert with this song. Simply the best song of this concert.
Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) - , masterpiece.
The Bard's Song - In The Forest - , beautiful .
Fly - The worst for me, i didn't like.
This Will Never End - It was good.
Sacred Worlds - The concert started with this song, absolutely awesome, i don't have words, the best song to start the concert.
Tanelorn (Into The Void) - I love this song, really awesome, one of the best.
Wheel Of Time - My god, it is the most grandious . This together with Sacred Worlds was a excellent and hard work of Blind Guardian, i was impressed.

My disappointment is that they don't played any song from "A Night AT The Opera" album, i wished the songs "Battlefield" and "The Soulforged", i would change these songs by "Fly", "Majesty" or "Valhalla". And I would have liked a song from their last album "At The Edge Of Time" like Ride Into Obsession, Curse My Name, Valkyries, Road Of No Release. For me this concert showed me the great it is the last album of Blind Guardian "At The Edge Of Time", songs like "Sacred World" and "Wheel Of Time" leave you breathless, are very grandious, two very long songs, i was amazed, i could not believe what i was seeing, really very epic. About "A Twist In The Myth" in my opinion is weak in live. About "Nightfall In Middle-Earth", great songs, Mirror Mirror, Nightfall and Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) , masterpieces, thanks Blind Guardian. I liked very much the large number of songs from the album "Tales From The Twilight World", it was really great . The songs from "Imaginations From The Other Side" was another example of masterpieces, these songs sounded tremendous in the concert.

Another very special thing, and a big surprise was that the choir of the songs was the people, thing that it makes to the concert to be a really very magic atmosphere, especially at the end of "Lord Of The Rings", the choir of the people in this moment was great guided by Hansi allowing the public alone during several minutes, really epic .

All the concert was tremendously epic .

Hey, here two songs from the concert, Nightfall and Wheel Of Time:
