An evening with Pain of Salvation featuring Anneke Van Giersbergen and Árstíðir

Trabendo, late April.

Big evening for more than 3 hours of acoustic electric show featuring many great voice.
In a recontructed real life living room, Daniel Gildenlowe offers us a small introduction about life and death and memory but in a subtile way. and then unto the show.
first icelandic Árstíðir.
Very much Sigur ros like with great harmony and voices, would work very much as music for a movie.
And starting with a Pos cover , they go through songs with Anneke who is up next.
Complete acoutic with some help along the way for the girl with the cough and the most beautiful smile ever to grace or cold country.
Quick and indeed lacking some electric power behind it but well.... She could sing Francis Cabrel with that smile, I would find it beautiful (thanks for the introduction Ian)

And after that, Pain of salvation , covering, reworking, slowing (Used ! how slower can it get ?) their body of work, providing indeed despite the change of style, the lyrics and the melodies work a lot live in many ways and form.

Hard to describe this concert, it was really a wonderful experience. thanks a lot and see you soon.
