The second leg of the Anoraknophobia tour featured a set list put together based on fan voting on this website. Also performed, is an impromptu rendition of 'It's not Unusual'...''As I recall, this was an unusual warm day for October in Holland. I had more or less lost touch with Marillion since 1995 when I last went to the 'Afraid of Sunlight' tour in Rotterdam, and only recently had I seen the 'Anoraknophobia' tour in May in the Heineken Music Hall. It was actually that show that brought me back on the right track.
As we went to Tilburg, I entered the 013 hall (013 is the phone area code of Tilburg, it was formerly and old Cinema, and was called 'Noorderlicht' - Northern Lights - when I last visited this hall). Expectations were high - I was not yet on the internet then, and we didn't know about voting for the setlist on the Marillion Website. I was truly amazed as they started off with This Strange Engine, as I had never seen that live before. It already was one of my favourite tracks, and since then it has jumped to the top of my list.
Giving us such a start, things couldn't go wrong anymore, Quartz, When I meet God, and the full version of This Town! Tears in my eyes during Out of The World and The 21st Century. We had a wonderful evening, and I felt kind of reborn when we left for home again. To me this concert was definite confirmation that this is THE band for me. I haven't missed a tour nor a world-wide-convention since then. This band had definitely changed my life in a positive way.''
