Anneke singing Valley of the Queens was a great ending. Be careful you will fall down another rabbit hole with her amazing career. She is the one who inspired Floor Jansen to sing metal when she was with The Gathering. She is the one vocalist I would listen to over Floor.

[@sierkvanderwerf4765]

Check out The Gathering - Stange machines (1996) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3m4fqqfo7tld7M&ab_channel=Metallwish

[@enterthecronic]

Anneke really is amazing!

[@hermenw.huiskamp8555]

@@enterthecronic maybe you can have a look at another Arjen project 'the Gentle Storm' with Anneke as lead singer: the Storm kzbin.info/www/bejne/laLTpJiIgK6Mq6c

[@RolandDeschain1]

Anneke van Giersbergen is a magical human being. It's impossible to watch her and not feel better about yourself. She just has that light about her.

[@csphoenix9]

The knight is Damien Wilson, check his stuff with Threshold, great band

[@robynturnham2706]

Damian is great no matter what he does. He should be so famous

[@csphoenix9]

Some food for thought - Consume to live Days of dearth Paradox Surface to air Sage of Baghdad Intervention Conceal the face

[@chrism2964]

Thank you for doing the whole concert, its really great. I cant wait for you to get to Twisted Coil, near the end of the show. Its Damian Wilson at full power, absolute goosebumps.

[@karolienharbrinknuman7820]

I really like that you're enjoing good music so much. I've enjoyed this so much, I will go to sleep peacefully. Thank you.

[@enterthecronic]

Your very welcome! I hope you been sleeping well! 😴

[@LittlePapaJohn]

Yes I played the rainbow road on mario card and I was bad, alway lost that one from my daughter. I was at this concert and it was amazing. I got tears in my eyes when Anneke van Giersbergen song Valley of the Queens and I was not the only one (You should definitly listen more to her). Arjan Lucassed is my old time favorite starting with the rock opera The Final Experiment.

[@enterthecronic]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@anne-marievandruenen600]

Valley of the queens always brings tears to my eyes, no matter how many times I have heard it. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@jaapblaauw3735]

Simone will also take part in the upcoming Ayreon live shows 01011001 - Beneath the Waves september 2023! 👍

[@enterthecronic]

That’s so awesome!!

[@JanStuivenberg2810]

You got a couple of names wrong my friend. 😜😜 On keyboards is Joost van den Broek not Robby. Robby was on the album but on the liveshows it's Joost. And it is not Annette but Anneke van Giersbergen. BTW the flutist is Thijs van leer. You might know him from Focus. If not check out their song Hocus pocus. 🤘😎

[@BrendonChase_2015]

I definitely concur with the Focus - "Hocus Pocus" suggestion. The sped up live version of course, for absolute fun and seeing Thijs van Leer back in the day, pulling his crazy stunts. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@dribbel77]

I concur 😂

[@enterthecronic]

Thank you for helping me and I need to do better :)

[@jaapblaauw3735]

This is the best version along with the studio version of Valley of the Queen. Only Anneke on lead vocals as the Egyptian as its supposed to be in the story!

[@jws6181]

This is MUSIC ❤ IT, Arjen is a Genius,,,

[@enterthecronic]

He is!!

[@Censeo]

This is such an amazing concert. Thank you for giving it exposure

[@enterthecronic]

Your welcome! I deserves it! And much more!

[@mandje2002]

@@enterthecronic ahh sorry, getting old 🙃

[@narinthebeardedalien2994]

I pulled the secret rainbow road 'jump' :D

[@annetteboelovergaard6362]

😊🥰❤

[@felipecampos3045]

Garden has one of the best riffs in metal

[@enterthecronic]

Damn it was good!!

[@Aranes68]

'His name is Robby'.... WHAT??!!?? 🤣

[@enterthecronic]

Yea I blundered on that one!

[@Aranes68]

DREAM THEATER....??!!?? This has nearly nothing in common with DT... 🤔 'The Knight' is Damian Wilson - DT never had a singer with this extraordinary skills ans quality...

[@enterthecronic]

I’m sorry the song sounded like one of DT’s ballads. I was saying I wish Damien would sing for Dream Theater.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Arjen does suffer from terrible stage fright. It's quite a lot to get him up there. Yet every time I've seen him play live he looks like he's having a great time. Go figure.

[@Aranes68]

'Anette... and this flute' 🙈 Her name is Anneke - Anneke van Giersbergen. I really like your channel and the reactions by now - watched all of them. But please - do a minimum of homework. You tell us you like or even love the music you discovered here. When I find new artists and music that I like, I'm really in interestet about them and try to find out things about them... at least their names. You've done so many AYREON reactions by now.... and seem to know nearly nothing 😔 I really wish, your channel is about music and not only about creating content... edit: don't wanna offend you - just show my disappointment will keep watching

[@enterthecronic]

I will do better and thanks for calling me out. I do Ayreon reaction usually at the end of my days when I am very tired a too relaxed. I’ll do more homework and give justice to it!! Thanks for giving us another chance!
