Title: ARENA in Karlsruhe
Post by: le_visiteur on Mon, 2005-10-10, 13:58:26
First I would like to say thank you to ARENA for this incredible show in Karlsruhe.

That was fantastic !
The last time I saw the Band was for The Visitor tour, at Strasbourg (France) many years ago.
So that was the first time a saw Rob on stage. I must admit that was a great experience for me, because Rob he's really good, even on old songs, an incredible voice (maybe the the ceiling of the room wasn't high enougth for his hat).

The show was really good, old songs and new ones, a good part of The Visitor, not enougth of the last album  :-\, very old song like Jerico. John as usual was incredible with his guitar (see you soon with Kino), Mike play flute on stage, yes Mike, very fun, Clive talking about goshts in his keyboards and virtuose as usual, Ian with his accoustic guitar and with his bass was very good too. The band was present at the end of the show to talk and to dedicate albums, that was great.

But I ask myself why was there so few people ? We must do something to promote ARENA !

If anybody has the set list of the show, I take !

Thank's again to ARENA !

Hi everybody and Peter!!!  ;D

I also have to thank Arena for that amazing show they did and sorry for posting that late,  :-[ but yesterday I was just to tired.
Even my son, who is not a fan of Arena enjoyed the show a lot and wants now my CDs to listen to.  ;D

Setlist,  ??? sorry I also don't have one.  :-\ But I know for sure that they played Bedlam Fayre, Smoke and Mirrors, Crack in the Ice, Jericho, Pargatory Road, Chosen and The Butterfly Man, that's all I can remember.  ;)

Hi everybody!

It was a really amazing concert, my second after Aschaffenburg in may, and I think I want to see more  ;)    especially more Mike playing flute

I´m not sure about the songs they played, I probably mix them up with the songs from Aschaffenburg...
But  I think there also were a state of grace, enemy without (which I liked very much with robs voice), witch hunt. the next I´m doubtful about...  ? skin game ?     ?midas vision?  ?Medusa?

The Substage is a special location, the gigs there are familial - and the ceiling...  It is better for the bands performing there  not to be to tall or wear high heels *lol*

This was my first post at this forum *g* and it isn´t that easy to write in english  :-\
