I would have never expected this. And I thought 80 zloty for an Anathema's gig was too much. Now I think it was worth even twice as much. The concert was phenomenal. I have never seen Anathema before so I was very curious how good they are live. And they surprised me. Not only with the atmosphere, which was created brilliantly, but also with their performance - technically and musically they were really good. I have no words to describe that evening - so moving, so intense, so passionate... - it must be experienced! Especially such songs as Flying, One Last Goodbye, Fragile Dreams, Temporary Peace, Regret, Judgement, Anyone, Anywhere, Lost Control, Shroud of False... And we had tears in our eyes...

Klub Studio is a place where I would like to see Opeth one day. Only about 1000 people fit there, and the band stands actually next to the fans which creates an amazing, intimate atmosphere. I loved to see them smiling and looking at us, especially Daniel and Vincent - the contact with the crowd is so important! I loved to see them enjoying the gig, enjoying what they do, enjoying looking at the fans who were getting crazy about their music. They were glad to see so many people in the venue, they often said some words in Polish to us and joked a bit. I liked the part when Vincent said something about us having fun despite the fact that they play such a depressive music and then Daniel said "I don't think it's depressing..." which was funny and sweet.
