i traveled in Sept to Tilburg from South Carolina to see his last show. IT was so worth that trip. First time to Europe, and it was only to Experience Ayreon!

Definitely I looked for tickets on ticketswap like 2 days before the concert but I was able to go with my father! I come from the Netherlands luckily and we go to a camping regularily that is near Tilburg and we could make use of the entrance for disabled people since my dad cannot walk that well anymore but due to that I was at the front and could see everything perfectly. Our strategy (when there isn't like a wheelchair ramp or designated chairs) is to let me walk to the front as fast as possible and my dad will sit behind me on his walker that he uses when walking long distances. Some venues will let us in earlier and reserve special spots for disabled people like putting chairs in front of the stage or to a balkony with chairs. The 013 thanfully allows him in with his walker in another venue he was first told that he had to see the show in the bar because there were no chairs left and there were no loose objects allowed whatever that means.

Arjen is not on stage. He seems to think it is not about him, but the his music. And even then he writes his music to let other people shine. This guy take humbleness to a whole new level.

Yes that is Q from Star Trek, he also had a role in Breaking Bad. Here he plays the narrator of this album live (The Electric Castle). Some albums had a narrator. Did you see Simone Simons of Epica was in this video? The Scottish dude is Fish, singer of Marillion, a band you probably know. Arjen is not on stage here indeed. He doesnt like live performance, but for this concert (Electric Castle), he was on stage for a few songs; Amazing Flight (Electric Castle show) is recommanded if you want to see Arjen sing live. Other songs you should react to in this prog/symphmetal universe should be Nightwish - Poet and the Pendelum (live), Nightwish - Greatest Show on Earth (live), Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show, Epica - Kingdom of Heaven, Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016.

Arjen plays a character in this, but he doesn't come out until the 3rd or 4th song if I recall correctly.

This is "The Electric Castle And Other Tales" , I have the box set, buy it, 2cds, 3 DVDs and book. Arjen does appear in this opera but hes not on this eong. In order of appearance Fish, the Highlander Simone Simmons, the Indian Damian Wilson, the Knight Edwin Balogh, the Roman (Goddess) Anneke van Giersbergen, the Egyptian. The backing singers. The woman on the left the talented, beautiful Marcela Bovio. On the right Dianne van Giersbergen And Jan Willem Ketelaers. Worth reacting to every song, but as a rock opera you have to do it in order. Then you can do Other tales.

First track I heard of Ayreon almost 25 years ago. Hooked ever since. Yes, I‘m that old 😉 Feel free to dig into the live tracks. Arjen will turn up at one point…

Arjen is not performing on this song. This is prog at its best. Did you recognize the Highlander. He is a famous British lead singer from the past.

Arjen is not playing in this song. He works together with fantastic musicians. He can play very well, but he likes it to play a hippie on stage :) haha
