I attended my first live show 5/17/11 and I was really blown away. I have a couple albums so I knew they played a wide variety but wow. I do wish Antero still performed with them but their sound is still phenomenal. I have never gotten all misty eyed at a concert before but Apocalyptica's music makes me pitifully emotional. I have never seen musicians play with such passion. They look like they really enjoy their work. I also loved that they cut up so much on stage. Especially Perttu and Eicca. One of my favorite parts of the performance was when Perttu yelled like a crazy person, threw his hands up and shouted "WRATH OF THE NORSEMAN!!!" lol. It was a concert that will stick with me.
Best concert I have ever been to.
I am so happy I was able to attend an Apocalyptica concert! I have never gotten teary eyed at a concert before but I certainly did there. I have been a fan for years.
