it would be a good support if you a scan of your concert tickets could send me under contact@pink-camel.de. So that the website can be made somewhat more complete.
Zitat von Merlin im Beitrag #75Hi Mal. You won't believe this. My numpty mate discovered that he'd left his ticket at home while we were on the way to the gig. A 30 minute delay made us miss the beginning but only by about ten minutes. I got the impression that more was said at the end of the Snow Goose which received a standing ovation.
The rest of the night was brilliant.
Sounds like you won't be buying him a pint any day soon

A standing ovation with the roof trembling As it eventually died down, someone shouted "Welcome back" which got another huge round of applause with Andy acknowledging with a bow. He seem genuinely humbled by all this. What a night!
I daren't risk it. We'd already drawn enough attention to us by arriving late. I wasn't sure they were going to let us in until the intermission and to cap it all, some cheeky beggers had sat in our seats!

Best I arrive in plenty of time Tuesday then! Never been to this venue, but will take my camera, just in case y'know?

After reading a review of the show on this forum http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_...627&PID=4877898 I have now complained to Eventim for almost ruining what should have been a perfect evening. OK, we only missed the first five minutes of the show but more importantly the entrance on stage of Andy and the guys, not to mention the inconvenience to other concert goers.
The missus got out of work on time (amazingly) but then found she had to nip back. This put us later than we wanted and also waiting at the level crossing, but still made it on time, and found a nice (free) parking space. 'Twas dry too.
Made our way to the hall, found merch table, approached with shopping list (New Snow Goose, Never Let Go, Coming Of Age, Paris Collection). Left with New Snow Goose............
Found great seats (3rd row, centre aisle), watched with amusement as ushers tried to sort out people (over-) booked into orchestra pit area (not resolved until second half), and setted down for show.
Clapped, cheered, wept tears of joy (repeated as neccessary). Commiserated with missus because nothing was played from ****, her "first" and favourite Camel album (despite request from the front to play all of it - replied to by Colin most humorously). Listened to The Prog-Daughter's mobile ringtone a couple of minutes into the show......
Left in the rain, went home, played New Snow Goose, looked on website and found the other discs I wanted were shown as out-of-stock.
Went to bed, waiting for new album and tour for next year (promising not to miss the band again as I'd had to do in the past).

I believe in a better world, a brighter world, a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
Reading all the reviews, I can't wait to see Camel next friday in Groningen. Saw them 10 years ago, than waiting for a long 120 months, listning to their music. Now, 2013, They are back. Camel on the raod again!!
Off we go for Groningen and having a great evening..............
Talked to all 5 of them last night in Belgium. they took all the time needed, very admirable guys! Signing all that was under their noses . lol. Enjoyed the show. Also met Michael: Hi mate! I planned to do merch shopping in A'dam tomorrow, but noticed they ran out of stock of several items pretty quickly (It was a busy stand, doing good business), so got me the new Snowgoose plus T-shirt, and the Hoodie jacket. Will serve for the next gap in years :) (hope not)
Anyone remember the setlist? I noticed some from UK's lists were not performed, like the Never Let Go (for Pete) and I think Mystic Queen ?
