sadly i got too late for anathema, but i'll see them soon as headliners :P MDB was awesome. PL was much crappier than last time I saw them, about 5 years ago. I was about to leave the venue in the middle of PL concert but i stayed cos I was going to meet some friends at the end of the gig. Actually I enjoyed to see the three bands together on the stage at the end of the concert... Three great bands, but it seems one of them needs some viagra ;)

well, i know who the drummer was (mark heron from oceansize) but an official introduction would have been nice, even if he was "just" the session drummer. interesting drumkit setup btw 8-|

mopsgesicht: I've been pretty impressed with the sound in general over the last few years - it's much cleaner than when I started going to gigs 20 years ago, and I have less problems with tinnitus these days too. I had Elacin earplugs ready for this gig, but didn't need them. I don't recall hearing anything about the drummer from Nick; perhaps the drummer's just a session musician brought in for the tour? As an aside, during PL's set it was a bit distracting to see people moving around in the background whilst they were playing. I'm not sure if there were technical problems, or just PL's music needed a bit more fiddling in order to be able to achieve their sound...

@cowbutt: thanks for the info - thought the sound might have been better further back. did anybody hear nick introduce the new drummer? i didn't and i thought it was a bit odd not to say anything at all to the audience about him.

I came from Barcelona just to see these three amazing bands...my origins... Wonderful Anathema and MDB (of course!) but I am sorry for PL... horrible show ( just one hour and a few minutes??) and sound (I can let them my computer if they need one...what happened?) ... just like six months ago here in Catalonia, it was like a pop-star show. Anyway, I hope to celebrate twenty more years with them.

mopsgesicht: I was in the balcony and the sound was pretty good all round - best of all for MDB, which is surprising given the density of their music. PL's setlist was almost all from 'Draconian Times' and 'In Requiem' and completely ignored their controversial 'Host' (which they claim to like, especially live, and I like too) and 'Believe in Nothing' (which I like, even if they think it's a "massive compromise").

i was there for paradise lost. i was in the first row and i thought the sound was terrible for all 3 bands. maybe it was better a little further back? anyway, PL did dissapoint even me - a longtime fan. the setlist was very imbalanced (to put it nicely).....

I definatly went for My Dying Bride out of the three bands playing and were highly suprised at how good Anathema were to. But I have to agree with all others Paradise Lost were terrible as I expected them to be.

"Jesus, why did you even go if not to honour Paradise Lost's legacy?" - Like a lot of other people I'd imagine - to see My Dying Bride and Anathema. I also left during Paradise Lost, because as usual their performance was poor. When the band itself doesn't respect it's own legacy, how can they expect the fans to? I'd had enough by the time they butchered "Gothic".

Moccles, it may shock you to know that not everyone went to see Paradise Lost. I also left half way through their set, they're very bland live, especially by comparison to My Dying Bride and Anathema.

Moccles, Cowbutt is right. PL were a great band in their time, but they were completely overshadowed by the other 2 bands who were amazing (and who I much prefer). They've lost their mojo & I didn't want to sully my memories of them with the mediocre performance they put on that night.

Moccles: I happily stayed for the whole gig, but gigs aren't some kind of sacrament, you know? They're supposed to be FUN! And if I'm not having fun at a gig, I'll leave, 20th anniversary or not. Remember who's paying who to be there!

Jesus, why did you even go if not to honour Paradise Lost's legacy? It's a shame how people can be so disrespectful to leave midway through a 20th anniversary gig.
