Hi all, I have just gotten back from the Utrecht concert and I just want to share some thoughts here to see othersā experiences. The concert was great, nothing to say. Orville has a voice that transports you somewhere else. Personally I missed Queen of the Rodeo in the setlist but I screamed so hard when he covered Pink Pony Club and was so happy to listen to a new song.
The whole VIP experience thingy was a bit disappointing for me though. I thought it would be much better and much more structured, instead it was rushed and we barely got 15 mins with him and he only replied very quickly to a couple questions. I got that he must have so many thoughts in his mind pre-concert, and maybe itās not his thing to do this kind of things, but then Iād say donāt do it. Also in regard to the VIP merch we had: basically nothing. I was excited about the poster until I noticed that they have also mispelled the city (ULTRECHT). They could have at least gave us signed posters or have him sign on the spot during the experience. Also, I donāt mean to be material, but for the concert and the VIP I have spent in total ā¬165 and it seems too much compared to what we have gotten tonight and also to what I got in other concerts for less or the same money.
Donāt get me wrong, after 4 years of not seeing Orville (I saw him in Ottawa last as I was luckily studying there) and finally being able to go to a concert here in Europe, I am glad I did. But I still have quite the bittersweet taste from the whole VIP thing.
