My husband and I have been dreaming of seeing Within Temptation live for a few years, we are musicians and Sharon is my inspiration and we finally got to see them, hopefully it won’t take another few years before they come back – Ottawa, ON would be great too, the people there are more civilized! (we saw them in Montreal)
The show was awesome but we found that it was way too loud for a small place like Metropolis, when the guitarist, Robert hit the first note on his guitar, the hair on my arms lifted straight up and I felt a lot of electricity cross my body, it was a weird feeling, we had to push back further.
We waited way too long before they got on stage, the Metropolis opened at 6:00 and the first group started at 8:00, then Within Temptation at approximately 9:20 – almost 3 hours and half went by so sorry to say that waiting that long played with our patience and when they got on stage, my husband and I almost wanted the show to be over, we where tired plus most people there had no manners, we got pushed, kicked, hit by the people around us, it was like they where looking for a fight. I had a teddy bear I wanted to give to Sharon, the signer, but because of the people around us, I never got to give it to her, and we where just a few steps away from the stage (that was before we had to push back).
My husband and I are very sad that it turned out into a deception for most of it, especially because of the people’s stupidity that pretty much ruined our evening but our dream did come true and we are thankful that we saw them but we would like to see them again, perhaps next time in Ottawa, Ontario. They really rocked!
