DEAD CAN DANCE Live in Athens, Greece. (3/7/2019). The setlist and more...

  A few days ago, Dead Can Dance visited Athens for a concert at the Herodus Atticus Odeon, which is situated exactly under the Acropolis of Athens.
It is a majestic ancient theater, which creates a wonderful atmosphere for these kind of events, and as Brendan Perry stated a few months ago, it was a dream of his to play in this theater at some point. 
  Having been a fan of Dead Can Dance since the 80's, it was impossible for me not to go to their gig, despite the fact that I have seen then 3-4 times in the past. So, I bought my ticket on the first day of the pre-sale, and then I was just counting the days. The concert was sold out many weeks before the day of the event, and the place was packed!
  Dead Can Dance came on stage almost on time, and for the next 100 minutes gave a flawless performance, which, further than their songs, it also included 2 cover versions.
They played songs from their long career, and as far as I saw (and read), everybody has only good words to say about their gig.
It was a magical night, which I will remember for many years. I feel lucky for being able to see them once more in this amazing theater!
