They sounded better last night than they've ever sounded, the opening bands were great, and the Kool Haus is a great venue.
This was a sick show. The warm-up bands were solid in a good genre match. The best part of the entire experience was just the laid back manner in which Blind Guardian performed. The nonchalant stage presence and the friendly banter in between songs made you feel more like you were at a cabaret or a jazz club than a metal show. A great experience!
From the time they set foot on stage to the end of the encore, Blind Guardian provided a flawless show with more energy than any other band I have seen. There was not a second when the crowd relented in their cheering and the band could see how excited everyone was. I think they were truly pleased with our knowledge of their work and ability to keep up perfectly with the crowd participation parts of the show. As such they pushed themselves even further to make it that much better of a show for us!
This was my first time see 'Guardian and I was not disappointed. Highly recommend!
Blind Guardian/Seven Kingdoms/Holy Grail put on an amazing concert. Just wished we had known that the show didn't start at 7, but that the doors opened at 7. It was a very frosty night and all times stated 7pm so we assumed the show started at 7, that should be made more clear. But the show did start promptly at 8 with Seven Kingdoms showing us that a woman can truly rock a house! We loved her voice and the band was crisp. I bought their new cd and love it! Holy Grail didn't disappoint either and I can't wait to pick up some of their cds now. The singer impressed us and both of these bands did impromptu meet and greets in the hall which is a bonus to true metal fans. Blind Guardian was stupendous and put on a very sprited show that kept the entire crowd hopping to the end way after midnight. Every song was spot on and well appreciated by the packed house.
Blind Guardian's set was perfect. A collection spanning almost all their records. From sing along ballads, to chanting fast paced songs, to a 16 minute epic. And the music was flawlessly performed. Second time seeing them & I dare say they got even better than the last time! Absolutely one of my highlights of the year.
This was by far the best damn concert I have been to in a long time. The opening bands Seven Kingdoms and Holy Grail are definetly going places and were worthy of playing before Blind Guardian. Hansi and Andre were in their elements. Especialy Andre. I was up close stage side to him and I tell u the man has not lost his touch he was brilliant. If they ever play Toronto again I am so there it was totaly worth the money for the tickets. Just a Blast. Long Live the Kings of Power Metal!
It was by far the best Guardian show i saw and i saw a lot
