OH.MY.GOD! It happened! It finally happened. Seeing Ayreon’s 01011001 live was a once in a lifetime moment and I was freaking there. Still can’t believe it. I wished so much for this, not only because an Ayreon live show is a rare event as it’s a logistical nightmare and Arjen …

Let’s just start by saying that I am a HUGE Ayreon fangirl, 01011001 is one of my all-time favourite albums and this will be populated with adjectives like mind-blowing, incredible, great, awesome and brilliant and it will severely lack criticism.
