Did you see the Devin Townsend Project set at the Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg?

Please post your reviews, setlists, photos and video links here!

Thanks!

Seen him yesterday for the second time, and it was epic again! . His show and the setlist was great (pretty similar to the other shows; in difference to the show last year he played Bad Devil). The opening act with Aeon Zen was very nice, too.
I hope Devys eye is doing well (he accidently stung beneath his eye with his guitar, when climbing down (or up) the stage). It was bleeding a bit for 2-3 Minutes, but Devy was "too metal", to accept a handkerchief.
Unfortunately the location closed after the concert, so we couldn't talk to him afterwards (some guys still waited for the tour bus outside).
Cheers!

Hey Dev, how is your left eye doing?
I guess we Devin worshipperss were a little too wild when you descended upon us yesterday...

Damn, I'm totally tired out!
The way home after the Ashaffen-burgh show took me hours, since I missed my scheduled train - but it was all more than worth it!

Although I missed the first ten minutes or so, I really liked Aeon Zen. Their last song reminded me of Images & Words, which was a good thing
(triggered snare drum included, as far as I could hear.) They had a superb sound, maybe even better than DTP.

Ziltoid radio was a hoot (I love ABBA, seriously!) and everbody had a blast during the Ziltoid takes onscreen!
I've seen quite a few metal and rock shows in my 38 years, but this was one of the funniest and most entertaining, easily.
Great, great times were had by all!

It's awesome that DTP play some relatively big venues on this European tour, but I loved the intimate atmosphere of this club.
The "All in the Family" show I've attended in Frankfurt in 2003 was the shit, but I think the vibe on and in front of the stage was even better yesterday.
Good to see so many girls, older and younger people in the audience - for a metal show. Almost Porcupine Tree-esque.

One of my favourite moments was a more introspective although very brief one, when Devin introduced Deep Peace;
his "fighting for peace" remark. That made me pause for a moment.

Dev, thanks for shaking my hand (I was the taller short-haired guy with the green shirt near the stage).

Beavis, thanks for throwing one of your picks directly into my open hand after the final song,
clumsy me had to drop it of course. ...and the girl in front of me had more fortune.

Luckily, I was able to acquire one of the last Ziltoid- mouse pads/beer coaster packages. Can you say nerd?

Selist in no particular order:

Life
Truth/OM (abbreviated)
Bad Devil
Kingdom
Earth Day
Deep Peace
Deadhead
By Your Command
Color Your World
The Greys
brief KI interlude
Addicted
Supercrush
Bender

Did I miss anything here?

Oh yes, if you have any chance to go see them - GO SEE THEM!

PS: Devin, please release these Ziltoid video takes on Youtube after the tour (or are they already there?)!

the show was so GREAT!!! thank you dev!!! words can´t even describe how much fun i had!

oh man, i couldnt imagine the show from last year (munich) could get any better. but instead/beside descending to his fans, dev let a bunch of folks to get on the stage as the bender crew, including me .... i mean THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! words cant describe how much fun it was, but some vids on youtube can

too bad he got injured while descending/raising(?) from/to stage........ , i hope the injury wasnt too serious and wasnt "handmade" by some drunken fans
this time the "distance" between fans and dev was non existent, almost like a well known friend performing really great songs..... if that makes any sense

the setlist was great..... SURPRISE!

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO GERMANY AGAIN AND MAKING SUCH A GREAT SHOW DEV !!!
and the handshake the way like my old buddies and i do, right after bend it like bender.............THANK YOU SO F***IN MUCH !!!

have a good one

Hello Synth,

the injury Dev got wasn't anybody's fault. Just a stupid accident while he was getting back on stage. His guitar must have hit the steps leading to the stage and bounced back into his eye. Actually I saw it video cuz the day before yesterday, at the gig in Belgium, I met a couple of Germans who were there and who filmed it, lol! Poor Dev, being hit by your own guitar. Awsome gigs tho!

cheers
