HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Did you see the Devin Townsend Project set at Betong in Oslo?

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

Thanks!

Best concert ever! The sound was a little weird though, but I blame the venue. His voice was
top notch as always and the banter between songs was of course hilarious. Met him afterwards
and he's just THE most humble, honest, down to earth dude I've ever met. When people told him
how much they enjoyed the show you could tell he really appreciated it. Also had a small chat
with Ryan and he was no different. Truly awesome people in this band.

I waited 8 years to see the man live and it was worth every minute. Just don't let it be 8 years until the next time Dev!

Setlist (Tried to put it in order but I'm pretty sure it's not correct.)

Addicted!
Kingdom
By Your Command
Deadhead
Supercrush
Bad Devil
Truth/Om
Life
Earth Day

Encore 1:
Colour Your World
The Greys
Jam
Deep Peace

Encore 2:
Bend it Like Bender!

Best. Show. Ever.

I'm pretty sure this tops everything I've ever seen, heard, or done in my life. Now what?

Thanks Devin, you're a true blessing!

Edit: And thanks for playing Deadhead, that song is so very special to me, and I'd never thought I would hear it live.

Regarding sound, it was a bit low at the first couple of songs, but it was brought up to a perfect level a song or two after Supercrush.

Simply the best expierience i have ever had!

What an amazing night, awesome setlist and preformance. Loved it!

awesome

I've seen over 300 different bands play live over the past 6 years, and I've never seen a person (or a band) have so much fun playing on stage before (maybe only Dio).
This was without a doubt one of the best concerts ever. I'm not kidding, it was really that good.

It was the first time I got to go to the concert, and I risked my life doing so. I got diagnosed with a rare form for leukemia about two years ago.
The doctors told me I had maybe two or three weeks left to live. Ironically enough I survived all that shit.
I got a bone marrow transplantation and I'm now on a lot of different pills and immunosuppresants. My new marrow hates me, it's slowly killing me. I'm in constant pain. All my muscles, joints and bones ache. My liver is failing. My bowels are constant infected. I've lost my vision on my right eye and I can't produce tears or saliva any longer.

The doctors told me that it would be very dangerous for me to travel to the other side of the country when I'm in a so bad condition, but I ignored them. I've waited for over 13 years to watch Devin play live. It was totally worth it.

Luckily enough I got to meet him after the concert, and yeah I got a little nervous (even though he was a really nice and caring guy).

I had made Devin a hand made card which I wanted to give him. I just wanted to thank him for helping me through the really hard and though times at the hospital. I have been through some really painful shit, and also been in total isolation for many months at a time.
His music was a big life saver. I also wrote that I wanted to thank him for inspiring and helping so many other fans out there too. But fuck, I managed to forget to tell him about that card. And damn, I also forgot the card back home in Bergen (Norways next biggest city).

Anyway I told Devin that I've just survived leukemia. He then told me to take care of myself and then he gave me a hug. I was almost in tears (if I only could cry).

Thanks again, Devin. You really helped me out back there and my mood and spirit have really risen.
I really hope you'll return to Norway again soon. I'll be there for sure with the card I made.

Luckily enough I got to meet him after the concert. Too bad I got a little nervous (even though I've met a lot of very known musicians through the years). I had made Devin a hand made card which I wanted to give him. I just wanted to thank him for helping me through the really hard and though times at the hospital. His music was a big life saver. I also wrote that I wanted to thank him for inspiring and helping so many other fans out there too. But fuck, I managed to forget that damn card back home in Bergen.

I'll tear up for you. I wish you nothing but luck on your road to recovery. Be well, friend.

Thank you so much for you kind thoughts and words. Stuff like this always makes my day so much better. I hope you have a great day too my friend.

@Foamed : That is absolutely amazing! Seriously... there are no words.


As for the concert... wow! The best gig I've ever attended, by far. Devin's stage presence can't be compared to anyone. His energy is contagious!
I had the privilege of meeting him both before and after the show, for which I am truly grateful.

(Hi there fellas in the background... I have no idea who you are, but hopefully you don't mind me uploading this photo)



Yes, I'm a pretty gal...

Edit: did anyone film anything? I've seen the videos on youtube, but there were none of Addicted! there, which I'd love to have.

This post has just made my day, I wish you the best of luck man! I'm sure Dev is totally honoured to be so special in your life :3 I bet he left the gig with a fuzzy feeling in his tummy!

Foamed: Beautiful and heart-breaking story! It's good we have the Dev to keep us company during the tough times.
