Its just amazing watching this live footage. Fans singing your song in all harmony. Legendary. I just want to know how it feels Marcus to hear fans this huge singing Blind Guardian songs. It must be the greatest feeling in the world.

This really makes me want to see Blind Guardian live. Blind Guardian should come to Midwest. Hell, I'm willing to travel to Ohio and Indiana to see you guys play live. The last time you guys were here, it was a few years ago.

holy crap, you live in Des Moines Iowa Jer? That's cool. I only know 1 famous person that use to live there, and that is Chris Pirillo. I dont know if you know him or not.

Oh yeah, I graduated high school with him. Southeast Polk 1991

He went on to lockergnome greatness.

just awesome, I´ve seen that Dvd a hundred times! I am not tired of it yet

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 13 2009, 10:39 PM

Awesome, they all sing like one, and there are many of them! Great song, great audience and great band!

Posted by: Zephyr Apr 13 2009, 10:49 PM

This is awesome! Usually (at least in my experience) when the audience sings along, it just sounds like one huge monotone mess.

lol makes me feel less geeky knowing someone here knows who he is

That's awesome though. Did you guys know each other in school?

Posted by: jer Apr 14 2009, 12:32 AM

yeah, we had a handful of mutual friends.

My best friend in high school was his roommate in college for a while.

He'd probably remember me by name if you asked.

I saw them live in Ft. Lauderdale, And being a part of the spectacle that is The Bards Song is amazing, It almost brought me to tears.

Posted by: 29a Apr 14 2009, 01:18 AM

I saw them here:

And once in Z-7. The cool thing there is that they've got a sound pressure meter on the wall. As far as I can recall the crowd brought it to over 100db, which is the legal limit for concerts in Switzerland.

Moments like this are pure magic, they still give me goosebumps

Posted by: Guillaume Apr 14 2009, 07:27 PM

Me too when I watch the DVD
Amazing show and amazing song !!

Posted by: Red Apr 14 2009, 10:53 PM

This song never gets old, the intro is the first thing i ever learned on the guitar.

Posted by: rokchik Apr 15 2009, 12:09 AM

That video gave me goosebumps. The crowd, the song... simply amazing.

Posted by: NoSkill Apr 25 2009, 02:26 PM

I saw that same video a couple of weeks ago. I'm with skennington, it really made me sit up in my chair. I've seen many concerts in my 41 years and I've seen the greats. I have never experienced anything like the crowd response to The Bard's Song. Very cool for the band, I bet.

Posted by: Sollesnes Apr 26 2009, 01:00 AM

Wow. Thats great.
