It was Voivod's first time in Zagreb, Croatia after all these years! I was lucky enough to have seen them in Dallas with Piggy and Jason Newstead on Bass, but had never seen Voivod with Blacky and was thrilled to have finally met in person the guy i recorded a couple of projects with (via the Internet) years ago. Jean-Yves was the nicest guy to talk to and catch up on things. Away remembered me from the Dallas show. My Wife and i met him outside in the windy cold as we were waiting for the doors to open. He seemed to be exploring the neighborhood a bit. Not much to see in that area though. Klub KSET is located right by the Technical College and a dense array of crappy Communist era apartments. Not sure what the deal was, but Voivod were scheduled to play at Močvara Bar, but the gig was moved over to the Student's Bar at KSET. One good thing is it's slightly smaller and the Beer is cheap!

The show was Voivod at they're best. Absolutely incredible! They played the same setlist as in Italy, with the new song sounding really good live. My Wife (who might have the only Voivod Tattoo in Croatia) had such a blast seeing them for the first time. Anyhow, to make a long story short...the gig went off without any problems and we all had a great time after the show as well.

I recorded video of 4 songs i think and have uploaded 'Forlorn' to YouTube. The A/V isn't that great, but actually came out a little better than i expected it to.

I will get the other Videos up soon as my crappy Croatian T-Com Bandwidth will let me.

Enjoy!

ALMOST all over the place. Still waiting for a certain São Paulo gig...

Anyway, glad you had a great time, Kula!

You should have come to Chile Slaytanic ... we are not that far away. I'd consider making the trip to Sao Paulo if they were playing there and not here.

I seriously considered that option, Igor, but momentary lack of money prevented me from going, which is a shame.

Wow, thanks Kula! Glad you were able to see them in your part of the world; I thought of you when I saw that date in Zagreb. We're still waiting for the US leg and a spot here in Albuquerque.

Thanks for the colorful report, your pictures & captions are hilarious. I think the best part of all is that your wife finally got to see a band that made such an impression on her long before she ever had the opportunity to go to a gig. Nice!

Yeah, she was really impressed and had a great time. It was a thrill for her to meet everyone in the band. They are such a good bunch. Away was very nice in giving me some advice about my wrist problem, but he declined when i offered to help him tear down his kit when i was checking it out after the show. lol! The road manager sure gave me some funny looks.

Hope Voivod can come back here next year. E-Force will be in Croatia this Saturday. If only i can find a way out to Osijek (west Croatia).
