Haggard, Remember Twilight
As seasons are changing and summers warmth is being replaced by autumns wind, a variety of people gathered in ‘De Kade’ in Zaandam. While we waited in the café for the guest list to arrive we could watch the audience come in. there was a mixture of metal clothes, gothic clothes and even some medieval outfits.

Zeche, Bochum, Germany14th October 2005
Zeraphine
Here we go - Blind Camera Tour Part II and Zeraphine are in Bochum for the second time this year. They must have felt how welcome they were here. After playing in the very small “Riff” in, this time they have chosen the Zeche as location as a much bigger place being perfect for gigs like this; but unfortunately it was not sold out. It wasn’t empty at all - there were quite a lot of people, but I have expected much more. We were wondering if the guys will have a support band, but one view on the stage and seeing the instruments, there was no doubt that there won’t be a support. Later we knew why – Sven told us that there wouldn’t be enough time for two bands.

Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, The Netherlands October 10th 2005
Dream Theater
With many progressive music fans gathered around the Amsterdam Arena waiting for the doors to the Heineken Music Hall to open the t-shirts show you their musical background. While the younger fans tend to wear Dream Theater t-shirts the somewhat older people wear t-shirts of their favourite progressive bands like Yes, Genesis and of course Pink Floyd, shirts like that outnumber those of metal bands by far, yet the general colour remains the same: black.

Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
September 22nd 2005
HIM
When arriving at Paradiso half an hour before the show a whole crowd had already lined up in front of Paradiso to get the best place in front of their favourite singer: Ville Valo of HIM. The concert was already sold out and I had the privilege to get a place on the guestlist of Mojo, which means that I was able to take my camera with me.
