Blind Guardian loves playing at the Worcester Palladium in the fall and once again I’m here for it, along with my buddy Dana. Typically Guardian seems to favor November but a recent concert review assures me their last stop was May 2024.
The “Somewhere Far Beyond” tour celebrates their 1992 album of the same name. It’s possibly Guardian’s best album, perhaps just behind “Nightfall in Middle-Earth” or “Imaginations from the Other Side.” I will let the diehards fight that battle of unnumbered tears. Regardless, a fine album to support.
I’m really looking forward to the show even though the night before Thanksgiving is a bit of an odd choice. The last show put me briefly in Valhalla and I hope for a similar out-of-body experience. It’s a great treat and a privilege to see such a massively popular overseas band in such an intimate venue here in the states. The Palladium is a modestly sized albeit storied venue for metal.
Maybe I’ll scratch together a few post-show notes here on the blog.
