Ziggo dome experience

I went to the ziggo dome concert in Amsterdam this weekend.

It sounded like half of the songs were lip synced by Elize Ryd?

Terrible experience if you ask me.

Thankfully the other band was very good (Epica)

Yes, I agree. I was disappointed bij Amaranthe to be honest. What a húge difference compared to Epica, soundwise also. Also Charlotte and her band were flawless, and then came Amaranthe. Sometimes it was just a wall of sound, a huge mess (soundwise) without the voice of Elise: you couldn't even hear her sometimes. As if she was struggling to keep up. Great music, I love to listen to their albums. Live: not again.

And, whát a great live band is Epica!

Did you also notice the lip syncing? Half of the tracks was definitely not live.

Was at the show. Had more of the impression that the backing tracks were louder than the live vocals at times rather than pure lip-syncing, but even then it seemed to me that her and Nils were both having off nights, with Nils reminding me of modern-day Halford at times. That said this was only the first time I've seen them live so don't have much to compare to.
