I can't express how much I love your voice. I have very few top top female singers, it's You, Anneke, Sharon, Floor, Simone. I honestly think, these are the best voices in the world. Your voice is up there at the very top along with Damian's. Very emotional, dramatic, beautiful & powerful. Love your every work. ❤
I think it's a glowing testament to Arjen's force of will, charisma, passion, and charm, that this show was ever able to happen at all. And so much respect, and credit, to all the artists, musicians, and other people who were willing to help realise this.
I've been to Tilburg and to hear that live was definitely once in a lifetime experience. My friend and I drove an old and beaten Peugeot 106 from Croatia to Netherlands with total of 3500km. Would do it again in no time for this. Totally worth it!
Damian rules! Threshold made a big mistake in letting him go. They should’ve made him a partner, IMO, but I guess it’s more about money than art. What a shame.
Slide down into the silence Numb the day away Move closer to a memory Feel it slip away Life shivers in the distance Whisper it away Your sun is smiling on my ashes On this perfect day (Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday) Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one ...We come undone Breathe deeply of your essence Stir the scars beneath Sing sweet a song so deathless You belong to me Life shivers in the distance Wish it all away Your sun is smiling on my ashes On this perfect day (Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday) Drown the ocean Drain the sky Wash the color from the sun Still the thunder Derail the Earth Burn the stars out one by one ...We come undone Accusations run astray Inside the guilt machine Turning tension's twisted coil Till nothing's left of me Words unspoken feed the lie Smile and say you're doing fine today Conversation makes no sense All logic stripped away Situation's out of hand In amber disarray Words unspoken feed the lie Another pill... you're doing fine today Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander? Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light? Did you think you'd find a way To disconnect your favourite pain? Disengage and justify To wash away the pain Medicate and victimize To purge you pure again Words unspoken feed the lie Drink it down... you're doing fine today Something snaps at 4.05 One Friday afternoon Turning tension's twisted coil Till nothing's left of you Words unspoken seal the lie One small step... you'll soon be fine today Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander? Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light? Did you think you'd find a way To disconnect your favourite pain? Did you dream of distant skies And thirst to roam and wander? Did you die silently inside? Did you think you'd find the answer Behind the light?

Damian Wilson is superb, and Arjen did an artful job of utilizing Damian's vocal range and depth. So different and absorbing, both in actual performance and in contemplating lyrics. Completely spell bound by Ayereon, in the best way! Thanks to Arjen L for sharing his musical vision with this world.
Always loved Jasper's vocals on Guilt Machine... but here Damian Wilson brings the song to a whole new level! Thank you, Arjen & co., for all the goosebumps! Hugs from Italy!
While I do enjoy this rendition, I feel Damian Wilson's voice is too theatrical for Guilt Machine. The frailty of Jasper's performance is just perfect for the themes, the music, and the lyrical content of the album. Wilson is honestly too confident of a singer to really nail the song. Still a really good live version though.
@@JTOremus I see your point. It's a matter of taste to me, I really love Damian's way to sing and tell a story. If you prefer Jasper's take on the song, I respect that!
@@JTOremus I was really blown away by his rendition when I heard it live. The stronger voice works very well in a live setting, although I do see the point when it comes to the recording.
I absolutely agree on this one... also Im glad to see they included some Guilt Machine material on this gig, Damian’s performance is outstanding. Cheers from ARJENtina!!
Oh man... The entire Guilt Machine album has kept me going for over a year now, I sadly was to late to buy tickets for this amazing show, but to see this version of Twisted Coil here on youtube, unexpected, is unreal to me. This is so insanely good and epic. I'm speechless and almost in tears. Arjen, if you read this: Thank you for all your work, I'm a huge fan of all your albums, but thanks in particular for Guilt Machine. This album might've saved my life. It truly mighhave. I was in such, such dark times 2 years ago, felt completely alone, lonely and worthless, guilty of everything that went wrong in my life. I was on the verge of comitting suicide, unable to ask for help since I was unable to tell what was wrong with me. I was so disconnected to myself and my emotions... I just wanted it all to be over. Then I discovered that you had other works beside Ayreon too. Fell in love with Ambeon quickly, then it was Guilt Machine's turn. With this song, with this album, you gave me words. Words to explain what was going wrong inside of my head, not only to others but also to myself. Over the couple of the last years I've used Twisted Coil a lot of times to try to show people how I feel since I myself am still very awkward with and short of words. Guilt Machine made me understand myself, just enough to be able to still ask for help instead of slowly dying a lonely death. I was crying for the complete first listen of this album. Arjen... Thank you. Your music means a lot to me. A lot.
@TFOLLT Great post man. That is what great art is all about, making us feel and connect with ourselves and whatever lies inside. I wanted to tell you about the tickets you mentioned. Me and my best friend are great fans of Ayreon and for the first time we traveled to see this live. We had tickets booked the first day they were out and everything. We took another friend with us on the trip, but he had no ticket for the concert and we thought "it is too late for it now", but it turns out that there are legal sites were people sell their tickets back because they cannot attend it for whatever reason and I was stunned to find that the price asked was the same as the one we had paid originally. *So we bought a ticket literally the day before the show* and our friend got in with us and we had a blast. I won't say the site's name ... I do not remember it and I am not here to advertise ... I just wanted to help a fan and give you the message that it is never too late :) Rock on!
@@sejuanisupportonly7385 Thanks for the tip, next time I'll keep looking and hoping for a ticket instead of thinking I'm too late. Btw, you rule, but Sejuani doesn't. Zac support is way more fun ;)
Oef this guy... The original album version gives me goosebumps, but the performance is an other level. Damian is such a special artist. This version is so special, this performance is one of my favorite listenings ever. ❤ Just perfection, the story telling and interaction and team work with Marcela, Diane and JW...
This song holds a special place in my heart. It so adequately describes what depression feels like, atleast how it feels / felt to me. The despair, the guilt, the anger, and the sarcasticness of it, as if god himself was challenging me. I have had some really dark thoughts about that 'perfect day', because such a day would be my last. This performance by Damian is incredible as well, the emotion he puts in his voice and his facial expressions really top it all off.
for me it is about the all consuming feeling of guilt, how it ruins your dreams and makes you live a lie. Makes you long for another life without guilt. The feeling of guilt never truly leaves you, you may go days or weeks without feeling it, but it will always be there.
This song helped me so much. There was a time in my life where I failed at something and I was so, SO hard on myself. I wouldn't forgive myself and the lyrics of this song is exactly what it felt like.
After the album was done i expected the concert to end, i completely forgot the ''other tales'' part. When this came on i was so happy, never thought i'd hear it live. Very very pleasant surprise, even more so when Fish did Kayleigh. Hope to see that one uploaded too.
I was obsessed with this album when it came out, I was in tears with the emotions it stirred and hearing Jasper's voice for the first time was amazing, felt like Freddy Mercy was at the helm! When I saw this video I was excited to see him live but I was just as excited and surprised to see Damian walk out! He is the only one that could have done this track Justice, I'm in tears after seeing it, amazing. I wanted to fly from the Western USA to see this so bad but could not make it happen, if you read this Ayreon you have affected and changed myself and many of my friends life for the better though your music projects, there's nothing in the world like it. I remember when star one came out and my friend was thrilled to show me what space metal was (I mean, we just discovered fantasy metal through Blind Guardian and Rhapsody, these were amazing times!) and it's been an obsession ever since. Much love from Arizona, USA!
I likewise have to turn away when hearing this song from my kids as it brings a tear or two. I think that the production value deserves a nod. It's not easy to make a song sound so perfect.
Up until a couple of months ago, I didn't even know who Damian Wilson was. All of that changed when I discovered Ayreon thanks to a youtube playlist. Thank you Arjen, for bringing so much incredible talent together for your amazing projects. My copies of Space Metal and Transitus arrived recently, and I can't wait to get the rest of your discography!
Wonderful.... I have tears in my eyes.... This combination of Rock, Metal, Synth, space music. Like Tangerine Dream in the past, you are touching my sould.....
This is amazing. The performance, the production, the composition itself. But it's the shots of the crowd that really move me. You can see how much they are feeling every word, every note, how much they are connecting with the performers. This is magical.
This is such an incredible rendition. Damian's voice is powerful and he really made this song his own, but more than that there's a joy to being on stage behind it that makes it that much more special. It's rare to get this much passion behind a song -- smile every time I hear this.
Ayreon has quickly become one of my favorite artists and i absolutely love the live shows. Already preordered this album, so excited to watch the whole thing!
Bloody hell that was good! So many things done so well. Props to the sound person for a start, great synergy from the musicians, the more impressive because this is an almost one-off gig, great twiddly guitar bits, and of course fine performances from Damien, Marcela, Dianne, and Jan. The overall effect was masterful: better than the album version.
I've watched this so many god damn times in the last week. Can't get enough. As much as I love the original, Damian Wilsons voice does this song a service and a half. I am definitely exploring more of his work in future.
I read somewhere that there was some contract nonsense preventing this from happening (?). Personally I think he should just form a new band "Guilty Apparatus" and go for it.
Damian and Arjen..you guys are amazing!! Love this version. Arjen's very deep and meaningful lyrics together with Damian's emotional voice!! What a combination. Thank you guys!! Goosebumps again and again!!
This may very well be Damian Wilson's best live performance ever, at least of an Arjen project song. Especially that part at the end: "Burn the stars out, one by oooonnnnnnnnneeeee!" Simply amazing, and it wasn't even written for him to sing. He also owned "Into The Black Hole" during the Star One "Live on Earth" performances (my previous favorite performance from him, now moved to second place by this song).
Simply amazing, this was the very best show I've been in my entire life, thank you Arjen to make this happen, I don't have the words to describe the feelings all this bring me, it really worthed the trip to The Netherlands, I can't wait to see the whole concert again.
in this timeline of my existence, Lucassen always come to rescue me, thanks. Thanks to everyone that makes this possible. *now ill fly away in my bebop.*
Man he puts a smile on my face anytime he sings any of Arjens music. I never thought I would hear any guilt machine live, I love it. I hope to hear some songs off of the second Star One album.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen Digital Rain and 24 Hours are my personal favorites. I really like the different lead melodies that the singers do and how they sound together.
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 I don't get why I didn't get that much attention, I just love that album! Star One live would be amazing ❤ Like with all the other live shows, I would fly to NL again to see and hear those songs live.
Wow it was a big surprise. I never thought I could appreciate this song in a live show. Damian Wilson definitely made it great. He has a very emotional way to sing and it fits perfect to replace Jasper's singing. Still love the studio version and it feels like renewing votes with Twisted Coil
I was there and as I was leaving the venue I was thinking to myself that this might have been the best song in the entire show. It seems that I was, in fact, correct.
I agree, this was such a highlight for me. I've listened to the album hundreds of times and recently been playing Twisted Coil on a loop. Damien's rendition really blew me away live, esp. the ending.
Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
I can't express how much I love your voice. I have very few top top female singers, it's You, Anneke, Sharon, Floor, Simone. I honestly think, these are the best voices in the world. Your voice is up there at the very top along with Damian's. Very emotional, dramatic, beautiful & powerful. Love your every work. ❤
@@autumn_rain thank you! that means a lot!
Same goes for us Marcela, thank you very much!
Are you better @@MarcelaBovio? Great wishes from Brazil 👐
Hello Marcela. Met you in Helsinki, Finland. I wish you're doing ok. Love your voice, girl :)
Everything needs more Damian Wilson in it.
Absolutely. The first time I heard him was as the Knight, and it was the most captivating voice I'd ever heard.
Yeah!
Amen, amen...
Arjen and tobias sammet pick the BEST in the music business to work with!!
Agreed
I think it's a glowing testament to Arjen's force of will, charisma, passion, and charm, that this show was ever able to happen at all. And so much respect, and credit, to all the artists, musicians, and other people who were willing to help realise this.
Wow... thanks for your kind words, we are honored! I like charisma, passion and charm :-)
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 Lucky to be alive at this point in time to be lucky enough to experience your music. Thank you.
I've been to Tilburg and to hear that live was definitely once in a lifetime experience. My friend and I drove an old and beaten Peugeot 106 from Croatia to Netherlands with total of 3500km. Would do it again in no time for this. Totally worth it!
To nije baceno vreme,posto ovo vredi videti !
You're lucky people.
Ehh da je bilo para... :D
Damian has such an amazing voice! the Druids turn to stone live is still one of my favourite!
Agreed, Nico, Druids was my favorite track of the Ayreon Universe live show as well!
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668
The first time I heard that track I was speechless. It is absolutely amazing. His voice is stunning.
Damian rules! Threshold made a big mistake in letting him go. They should’ve made him a partner, IMO, but I guess it’s more about money than art. What a shame.
I absolutely love the stage chemistry between all the musicians. The eye contact, the energy, the smiles...It’s the perfect human equation! 🤘🏼
There's only about two words that come to mind when any human being with ears hears Damian Wilson sing: "Holy Shit".
The buildup of this song is phenomenal
Damian Wilson is one of my favourite singers ever. The man is a genius (and so are you Arjen).
I really wish Damian sung more on Ayreon albums. The warmth and power of his voice lends itself so well to Ayreon songs.
I envy the people who were able to be there watching this piece of art live... You are awesome Arjen!
Slide down into the silence
Numb the day away
Move closer to a memory
Feel it slip away
Life shivers in the distance
Whisper it away
Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
...We come undone
Breathe deeply of your essence
Stir the scars beneath
Sing sweet a song so deathless
You belong to me
Life shivers in the distance
Wish it all away
Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
...We come undone
Accusations run astray
Inside the guilt machine
Turning tension's twisted coil
Till nothing's left of me
Words unspoken feed the lie
Smile and say you're doing fine today
Conversation makes no sense
All logic stripped away
Situation's out of hand
In amber disarray
Words unspoken feed the lie
Another pill... you're doing fine today
Did you dream of distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?
Disengage and justify
To wash away the pain
Medicate and victimize
To purge you pure again
Words unspoken feed the lie
Drink it down... you're doing fine today
Something snaps at 4.05
One Friday afternoon
Turning tension's twisted coil
Till nothing's left of you
Words unspoken seal the lie
One small step... you'll soon be fine today
Did you dream of distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?
Did you dream of distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?
Life shivers in the distance
Whisper it away
Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
Almost correct. They change a bit in this version :) but thank you anyhow :)
@@ultrazineSWE ups my bad haha
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Damian got so used to the role that I thought he would cry. Amazing!
Indeed it's amazing how Damian becomes one with the tracks he sings. That amazed me since the very first time we worked together.
The tour with Les Miserables really honed his voice and delivery to a fine edge....
Reminder to those of you enjoying Damian's vocals here... his work in the band Headspace is equally magnificent and really underappreciated :)
He sounded great also in Rick Wakeman's Out There... amazing album, amazing vocals!
And Threshold
This is the call of a nation
This is a war that we're heading for
This is the call of a nation
This is the fall of America
Damian Wilson is superb, and Arjen did an artful job of utilizing Damian's vocal range and depth. So different and absorbing, both in actual performance and in contemplating lyrics.
Completely spell bound by Ayereon, in the best way! Thanks to Arjen L for sharing his musical vision with this world.
Ayreon is phenomenal ,, imagine so many progressive rock artists in the world collaborating in this band

One of THE songs that cause me tears of admiration. And one of the live performances, which is a hundred times better than the studio version.

Same here, that album gave me a lot of strenght in a hard moment when it was released.
@@Pentaghast it's a poignant rendition of survivor's guilt, especially "Over". It helped me a lot too.
I have always loved Damien in Threshold. This just shows again just how amazing a vocalist he is!

When this came on i was so happy, never thought i'd hear it live.
Very very pleasant surprise, even more so when Fish did Kayleigh. Hope to see that one uploaded too.

Glad you enjoyed the Other Tales as well, Luke! We won't upload Kayleigh though, only one more track before the release.
Guilt Machine is my absolute favourite music project. Glad to see Twisted Coil performed.
Glad to be of service, Justin!
This song is therapeutic.
It's a wonderful song, and Damian's interpretation is wonderful
Amazing, gives me chills!! 😍😍 Damian owns the song very well!! ❤❤ Even though I would love to hear it sung by Jasper live too!! ❤❤
Jasper would have sone an amazing job as well, Virpi, I'm sure of it!

Thanks for this music, from Chile.
Damian, what a great singer! So much passion in his voice!
What a beautiful, fantastic performance! Speaking honestly, I transcended into some other reality while I was listening to it!
Arjen its great to see D Wilson as vocalist for Ayreon, what a perfect choice..looking forward to hearing it all brother!
My God! Just when you think things can't get any better, you hear the live version.
This is amazing.
The performance, the production, the composition itself.
But it's the shots of the crowd that really move me. You can see how much they are feeling every word, every note, how much they are connecting with the performers. This is magical.

The only thing better than a live Guilt Machine performance is Damian on vocals. I FUCKING SCREAMED
God, I've always wanted to hear Guilt Machine live, so its nice to see this! Here's to hoping we see Jasper in another of your projects!
Que final! Tanta emoción ! Me conmovió La voz de Wilson es un regalo! Que feliz de ver canciones de Guilt Machine,
Still my favourite Arjen album along with Into the Electric Castle. And what a magnificent performance by Wilson!
One of the best compositions
Twisted Coil was a great choice to pick from that Guilt Machine album. Wish I could’ve been at this show. Getting hyped for the Blu Ray!!
I just wanted to hear Damian sing that last bit, Miah :-)
What a fantastic experience! Wow. This one really reached out a grabbed me.
MARAVILHOSO, dramático e intenso, de ponta a ponta!

Nice to SEE the tall hippie hasnt forgotten to give love to that album in My humble opinión one of his Best work
This is not just a music, this is pure art!
You certainly know how to give a compliment, Tomek... thanks :-)
Another Guilt machine album when? Imagine Ashe O'Hara's Voice singing Guilt Machine songs, duuude
Imagine any pairing of Ashe O'Hara with Arjen! So many amazing modern vocalists I would love to hear on an Ayreon album
I read somewhere that there was some contract nonsense preventing this from happening (?). Personally I think he should just form a new band "Guilty Apparatus" and go for it.
love that !!!
bull... Guilt machines original singer was the spice to the album.
Daniel tompkins in featuring on the same song
Damn you Arjen... i can't get rid of this one... so powerful.. enigmatic.. the entire performance. Impressive is too little a word.
Not even half way through yet, but this is amazing already!
One of my favorite voices of Ayreon, Mr. Damian Wilson :) :)
Damian and Arjen..you guys are amazing!! Love this version. Arjen's very deep and meaningful lyrics together with Damian's emotional voice!! What a combination. Thank you guys!! Goosebumps again and again!!
Thanks Mary! But you should know that my partner Lori wrote the lyrics... I could never write lyrics as deep and cryptic as that!
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 Lori is also amazing!! Pity she stopped playing. Would love to see Lori live. So thanks Lori for everything that you do!!
yeah this gets me every time i listen to it! i get goosebumbs and tears
Oooooh. This is...
Perfection?
Pun.
Got the pun, Antti! But is Perfection what you really want? :-)
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 wether or not, we had it here.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen yes god dammit:p
This song is a masterpiece!
qué maravilla, por dios, no me canso de verlo! gracias, gracias!
This may very well be Damian Wilson's best live performance ever, at least of an Arjen project song. Especially that part at the end: "Burn the stars out, one by oooonnnnnnnnneeeee!" Simply amazing, and it wasn't even written for him to sing. He also owned "Into The Black Hole" during the Star One "Live on Earth" performances (my previous favorite performance from him, now moved to second place by this song).
Agreed!
holy shiizz this is freaking epic, I get pumped everytime I revisit this.
Just... breathtaking cooperation towards a magnificent vision.
This was one of my favourite surprises of the gig! But god, it's made me yearn so hard for another Guilt Machine album.
Maybe one perfect day, J!
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 Don't tease me with such great things! :O
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 surprise us Arjen!
I remember this song came out when I was only like 16 lol. Never thought I’d hear it live! Amazing
Simply amazing, this was the very best show I've been in my entire life, thank you Arjen to make this happen, I don't have the words to describe the feelings all this bring me, it really worthed the trip to The Netherlands, I can't wait to see the whole concert again.
Glad you enjoyed it so much, Rodolfo, hope you will like the live release just as much!
What a fantastic performance and so damn passionate voice from Damien once again. Lovely
Thank you so much Arjen, thank you
Stunning. I always wanted to hear a Guilt Machine song live. Makes me even proud about pre-ordering the box set
Thanks for buying, Dennis!
This is an absolute piece of art! Everything is tuned to perfection!
in this timeline of my existence, Lucassen always come to rescue me, thanks. Thanks to everyone that makes this possible. *now ill fly away in my bebop.*
From my favourite Arjen album. "On This Perfect Day" is severely underrated. Hearing this, I'd love to hear Damian sing all the tracks :O .
daily dose of Arjen keeps the day going good
Truly Epic. I so wish I was there
Wow, didn't expect to see Guilt Machine live. God and his angels delivers once more.
This is beyond excellent! I can hardly wait till my copy arrives!
Man he puts a smile on my face anytime he sings any of Arjens music. I never thought I would hear any guilt machine live, I love it. I hope to hear some songs off of the second Star One album.
I'd love to play some tracks of Victims! Weirdly enough that album never got much attention...
Arjen Anthony Lucassen Digital Rain and 24 Hours are my personal favorites. I really like the different lead melodies that the singers do and how they sound together.
@@arjenanthonylucassen7668 I don't get why I didn't get that much attention, I just love that album! Star One live would be amazing ❤ Like with all the other live shows, I would fly to NL again to see and hear those songs live.
Wait! WHAT!! Victims! is such a Great Album i hope you make at least one More!
Full body goosebumps!! That high full power belt at the end is insane, its a Damiangasm!
Yes... Goosbumps and Tears.... pure magic by Damian and Arjen's Company of Magic Progrock ❤❤❤
Wow it was a big surprise. I never thought I could appreciate this song in a live show. Damian Wilson definitely made it great. He has a very emotional way to sing and it fits perfect to replace Jasper's singing. Still love the studio version and it feels like renewing votes with Twisted Coil
Mr.Arjen Lucassen is the Best.
I... I am in shock is like i feel tears coming out but because is magneficent. Yall amazing! Im speechless.
Can't wait to get my box set!
lovely memories of the sunday evening show ...was so enjoying and happy to watch and listening !!!
I was there and as I was leaving the venue I was thinking to myself that this might have been the best song in the entire show. It seems that I was, in fact, correct.
I think I agree with you. I already felt that during the instrumental rehearsals, but I know for sure when Damian started singing it.
I agree, this was such a highlight for me. I've listened to the album hundreds of times and recently been playing Twisted Coil on a loop. Damien's rendition really blew me away live, esp. the ending.
I sooo envy anyone who witnessed this!
Omg... EPIC!!!!!
Wow! Just impressive! If this performance doesn't give you goosebumps ...
I just can't stop watching it.
🔥❤️🔥
Have to say that Damian never fails to deliver. I have only seen him twice and both times in Tilburg. Go figure as I am from the UK!!
Amazing....This is.....amazing!
I remember this from the live show - it was one of the best moments for me (love Guilt Machine!) and I was really hoping it would be posted.
