[@cirith100]

Anneke is better live than in studio , just something she brings to a live performance

[@ctulhu67]

Correction, your sentence is too long. Anneke is better.

[@edukman1]

@@ctulhu67 Anneke in person close up is even more wonderful. A real lady.

[@ctulhu67]

I have seen her close up live. it was Breathmazing ;)

[@philipopruesse4259]

The harmony is unbelievably beautiful. Two great singers in perfection.

[@ketilsther9997]

Can't get over how good the gentle storm is live... This band should have continued... come on Arjen!!!

[@ryanbrennan3228]

Yes, they definitely need to make a 2nd album! The album is so amazingly phenomenal. The Heart of Amsterdam & Endless Sea are two of my favorite songs ever.

[@cricket8646]

Ive never seen anyone that looks so beautiful when performing live. She has an aura about her that is just amazing !!!

[@eloann]

Anneke and Marcela's voices work so well together. Pretty sure they have midi-synced vibrato.

[@sasharenee1196]

omg she was on verge of laughing. thats awesome. shes so loveable.

[@ComaLies225]

Sasha Renee it's so funny how she let that slip and then tries to come back again. But she came back like a professional

[@Thorgrim247]

Two of the greatest female singers of all time, together! MAGICAL. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏 The band is amazing as well

[@shaunhedden47]

Anneke is absolutely amazing

[@fabrizio_prina]

What a wonderful super group ! ♫♪♥♪♫

[@miguelangelhernandez4111]

Marcela Bovio astounding perfect! The band and the powerfull singers amazing!

[@TheAnalPunisher]

Anneke what a Diva, always smiling...fantastic voice and great personality

[@TheKarpek]

Thanks to Annekes appearance with Amorphis found this Masterpiece of The Year, even though a couple of years too late. I really love this song, applaudes to Arjen Lucassen for composing this, hooking drums and guitars plus melodies. And not to forget singing ladies. I just fell in love with Anneke`s voice. Greetings from Finland!

[@keeskloost6977]

For me the Diary is one of the most beautiful albums ever composed and performed. This kind of music consoles and comforts me all the time. Greetings from Amsterdam. P.s.: NightWish is the eight world wonder.

[@johncoffman1841]

Marcela Bovio has an amazing solo version of Valley of the Queens . Also, a song by Ayreon. Recorded live at home with a friend on piano.

[@c.fitzpatrick12]

Expect something amazing when Anneke is involved.

[@Rinus-et6qs]

I love the sound of the drums (lekker vet!). Makes me think of the sound of John Bonham. The song is great.

[@jorgengabrielsson6660]

Ed Warby is a beast🤘🏼

[@ComaLies225]

I still think it’s cute at 2:43 how Anneke fumbles yet quickly recovers lol

[@Gwunhar]

Wow. They sound freakin perfect. It's astounding.

[@harryhirsch2677]

Once you go down the Ayreon rabbit hole, it simply doesn't stop. One great muscial experience after the other, either with Arjen or just with other Ayreon memebers....

Got goosebumps like hills! ;)

[@sevensevensportsbagjump7525]

An absolute fucking Masterpiece .

[@paulelliott3220]

Two powerful voices Rocking backdrop Happy days - great indeed

[@pitatiba]

Need to thumb up twice !

[@edwardbijnsdorp1700]

Only a few hours ago I was in their farewell concert in Amsterdam. I saw them for the fourth time and also last evening I got a bit emotioned at the moment that Anneke and Marcela sang to eachother in Brightest Light. Every show that moment is the highlight for me. Only some minutes ago I discovered this video and this one is so great. This because I was there in Zoetermeer as well and more important: the quality is great... SO THE QUALITY OF MY THE GENTLE STORM'S HIGHLIGHT TOO... YES YES YES!!!

[@a.vandergaag5517]

Agreed Edward, saw the 1st and last show in Amsterdam (both with a terrible bad sound btw imho) and this one in Zoetermeer which was superb! Maybe a good idea if/when the management of Melkweg in Amsterdam invests the 4 Euro 'membershipfee' they ripp-off every person visiting a gig overthere in giving their soundcrew a free course 'basic sound engineering'???

[@edwardbijnsdorp1700]

Thanks a lot, van der Gaag, for your reply. An interesting one, because now I know for shure that a soundtechnician only should be judged after checking his/her sound on different positions. The sound of that first concert was amazingly perfect for me... realy impressing. (I can know that because I am a musician and every year I visit many concerts.) My position that evening: down on the floor in the middle. The sound of that last concert was not good for me. My position than: on the balcony, very close to the speakers. A friend, who also is very critical about sound, experienced the sound in that last concert as perfect. He stood down on the floor in the middle. After all I should have been on his position too.The conclusion is clear.

[@a.vandergaag5517]

In that case, being a musician yourself, i have a question for you. Shouldn't people who come to see and hear you (and even pay money for it) have the right being treated with good sound wherever their position in the venue is?. I mean the sound in Melkweg is mostly crap no matter who the artist is and the two Gentle Storm gigs were no exception. As said before the gig in Zoetermeer was fabulous (no matter what psoition you had taken in the venue) but then again there hardly ever are concerts with bad sound in Zoetermeer. I thinkit more has something to do with the venue itself and/or their PA-system. There are loads of club venues which have perfect sound no matter which position you have... i should know as i am a bit of an 'old geezer' and have seen hundreds and hundreds of gigs in and outside of The Netherlands sofar.... Another question for you is... how should you go wondering around and check the best sound during the concert when it's completely -sold out- there is simply no room/space to do that... and what would happen if 1.500 peopleshould get that same idea during the last Gentle Storm gig... ;)

[@andrewwildman]

Stumbled across TGS by accident. Bought the album. Freekin' love love love it. And I am beguiled by Anneke :-)

[@markototev]

you should definitely check her out with The Gathering if you haven't already. it's truly a divine experience.

[@cousinadesballard8462]

best duet in a long time and amazing performance!

[@4liferaider1]

Never loved an album as much as I love this one...

[@szynap1]

3 marca 2001 Bydgoszcz - The Gathering beatifull live ....Anneke you are fresh and powerfull like there. Great voice. Unbelive.

[@hansgoodrockintonight1071]

Anneke and Marcela!🙏💪💪👍👍

[@tommydyhr]

Absolutely awesome. Anneke is so beautiful, and seems so genuinely sweet!

[@ericfeldman4374]

Anneke re-defines the frase: "for ever young".

[@valentinaport3395]

Anneke la numero 1!!! x sempre!!!! e loro spaccano!!!! tecnica, controllo, potenza ed energia pura!!!

[@MrProphetMan]

VERDAD!

[@MalyReyes]

Oh wow love their voices

[@AkelasanAK]

wow, i didn't know these guys are together as a band ... a fan instantly ... great song ..

[@markmckeown5130]

Merel from Delain in there too!

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

I noticed that! Didn’t know she had anything to do with Gentle Storm or Anneke but Merel was in MaYaN with Marcela Bovio so there’s the connection I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@marlonvanwijland1428]

Great video. Loved the show, one of the best I have been to, and in my hometown as well.

[@sebavalenzuela7039]

Great Headbanging there!!!! \m/

[@devylia]

Wow this song is perfect

[@danielhaylan7048]

Tremenda...!👏👏👏👏

[@darrylburmeister1676]

Ladies , amazing Job !!

[@cousinadesballard8462]

This song is perfect, wonderfull work all of you!

[@midianpoet]

Perfect art experience! Anneke !

[@keithmyers247]

There needs to be another storm!

[@nicogalvez6776]

I love her! ⚘

[@dricadias70]

Awesome!!!!

[@etienneiraci2101]

Original ce mélange de style musical, pas mal j'aime beaucoup. A écouter.

[@francogiovannini7412]

Anneke is always the best vocalist in the world, and she gives her best when high level music. Unfortunately I don'l live in the NL and have to wait Epica't tour in order to have a concert in Itlay with Annekeìs Vuur.

[@Rodj71]

That was awesome

[@barrycowen627]

Fabulous. Great live performance 🎭

[@Gskuratov]

What a discrimination! Why they don include into the Band credits to Marcela Bovio?

[@caggt8141]

this is fu**ing awesome!

[@barouf1975]

Great !!!!

[@palabrasagrada429]

Amazing!

[@WhiteDoveWT2411]

LOL 02:42

[@mothernohead]

goed gedaan John!!!

[@wellingtondefreitas.2743]

Aquela menina selvagem indomável dos anos 90 , está aí . Nem a maturidade conseguiu dominar a fúria de um vulcão primitivo em erupção caótica . chamada Anneke

[@gocacvetkovc9241]

Song is amazing

[@АлександрР-ш3к]

Великолепно я в восторге!!!

[@petegruszek]

Anneke's voice dominates , I think

[@much_love]

Lekker bezig @John Vis!

[@viviandrea04]

Te amo Die.

[@minghir]

reminds me of Renaissance

[@johncoffman1841]

Ps. This is Empathic Metal, if it needs to be categorized, which it doesn't. Never mind...

[@SaloMikael]

DVD / Blu-Ray release? Anyone?

[@ryanbrennan3228]

Yes, they definitely need to release this live performance on Blu-Ray.

[@upstairs3201]

Аня рулит всегда!

[@sevensevensportsbagjump7525]

glorious @ 3:33

[@cricket8646]

The drummer is a lucky bastard to have Anneke as his wife..

[@CamiloDiaz]

@Mark C. But the Bass player here is Marcela's husband. How cool must be to go on tour along with your better half!

[@ggabyfflowers]

I don't think Ed Warby is Anneke's husband...

[@Populiervogel]

Ron Snijders is her husband, he's her manager. The drummer is Ed Warby indeed..

[@jafetvasquezortiz9176]

Where the fuck is Arjen Lucassen?

[@cristhianmaldonado5086]

+Jafeth Vásquez Ortiz Arjen is a crazy, form bands and then leaves

[@ren8077]

+Cristhian Maldonado He didn't 'leave'. He just can't tour. If there's going to be another TGS album he and Anneke are still going to be ones to write it

[@James-yz9yo]

I was wondering the same about Devin Townsend. Granted they're their own artists, but dang it's weird not hearing them together.

[@N221BP]

This oozes quality. Repeat.

[@hanztaky4275]

new Marlene Dietrich

[@johncoffman1841]

And Edith Piaf

[@jucio]

#ChupaSx

[@japaneserandomarmwrestling2294]

This is actually better than what she did with Devin ...

[@vacantplanet]

Too much headbanging for no apparent reason. Anneke still looks gorgeous

[@joaofernandes2827]

this is not your scene GTFO

[@gilsaraiva2830]

Take away Anneke´s omnipresent milfitude and this is PURE sonic garbage

[@Fuckyourselfgoogle]

Who is the other singer?

[@claudiapereira5829]

+Fuckyourselfgoogle Marcela Bovio :)

[@cristhianmaldonado5086]

+Fuckyourselfgoogle is not the oficial, only for this performance

[@ren8077]

+Cristhian Maldonado Huh? Marcela was a part of every single TGS show

[@RuizVicentello]

Marcela Bovio does the chorus for TGS live shows only. In recorded sessions, Anneke overdubs her own voice for the chorus part. But IMHO, TGS songs sound better with Annek and Marcela mixing their voices..

[@markgladstone6588]

Has Marcela been in any other bands as a lead singer?
