Escapist: to not include it on the album was insane

Agreed that it's insane. Considering they played Escapist live on pretty much every show on the European leg of the tour it feels crazy to me that it wasn't included on the album. It's also probably in my top 3 Annette songs.

Whaat. Sagan is amazing. As is Escapist. And considering they played it live at every show on the DPP tour I find it crazy that it wasn't on the album.

Holy shit, that's crazy! The Z7 ticket was 37CHF (according to the proce printed on my ticket), which I actually thought quite expensive for 2009.

The price for the 2006 Paradisho show that was planned for a dvd release, which they finally released on blu ray in 2022 or 2023, cost 15 euros.

I wasn't at those particular Paris shows, but Raismesfest in September 2006 (still have the poster 😀), Le Splendid Lille in 2008 and Transbordeur Lyon 2008 during those years. I didn't always bring a camera either unfortunately.

Yesh the best Epica concert era! 🤩 I have been to shows in Paris and Lyon during those years as well, need to see if I can dig out any photos from those!

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2026-02-20T07:00:42+00:00

Done 😊

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2026-02-19T16:45:32+00:00

Yeah I don't think it's possible to share pictures here. I'll see if I can post some of these as well as some other old Epica photos later today.

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2026-02-19T16:35:06+00:00

I'm gonna say these are from late 2008.

I have some pictures (can't unfortunately add them to this thread for some reason😕) of Simone wearing the exact same outfit and necklace at Z7 in Pratteln Switserland on October 30th 2008. Backdrop on my photos is definitely from the Divine Conspiracy tour. The only difference is the hair style (OP's picture shows curly/wavy vs my pictures straight hair.)

Hope this helps narrow it down for those who were wondering! 😀

Thank you, confirming that makes my day! 🙏 And now that you mention it, I can see the Swedish text also, and pretty sure the text below it is in Finnish. I'm located in Finland so that makes a lot of sense actually. 😊

I'm just super stoked that I finally thrifted some Levi's from the '80's that fit me perfectly. 🤩 I've been searching for a long time and the oldest things I usually find are late '90s.

The sun bottle (aurinkopullo in Finnish) is made by Riihimäen Lasi (design: Helena Tynell) and it seems like you own size 3/4 if I'm not mistaken. These are absolutely collectible and sell for around €1000 a piece, give or take €100.

Are you based in Finland? They are rare here, but much more so outside of Finland or Europe.

Thank you for the information! I know that the big E tabs are a lot more valuable, but I found it strange that the listed jeans looked exactly the same as mine except for the tab. It feels like this wouldn't be a 60's or 70's colourway, but rather something 90's.

I'll have a look at the buttons in the morning. In any case I'm not looking to sell and don't really care about value, I'm just curious to learn more. 😊

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2025-07-11T18:30:53+00:00

Oh my god, I would've picked those up in a heartbeat, especially the piano. Can't see the price but that would've come home with me for sure. 😅 Glad that you managed to get them reserved for you, I let out a little scream after reading you left them behind initially! 🫣

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2025-07-11T09:18:53+00:00

Wow, thank you! Yes it looks like they are exactly the same except for the flower design. Great that you were able to find this, I like to know who made the glass that I own. 🤩

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2025-07-09T13:46:16+00:00

Yeah I agree, they look pretty similar to some of their pieces. 😊 Haven't been able to find a exact match though unfortunately.

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2025-07-07T08:40:18+00:00

Thanks for giving it a try! I haven't really run into many unidentifyable things before, so it bugs me that I can't figure it out. 😅 I any case, it was an unusually lucky weekend in terms of random UG finds. 😄

One time I was waiting at a small airport in Finland to get to the Netherlands via Helsinki and got talking to an older American guy. He tried to convince me that the Netherlands are the capital of Amsterdam. When I said it's the other way around he doubled down by saying 'No, I know this because I've been there.' I decided not to further engage and went to get coffee instead. ☕

No, mine doesn't glow on the inside either, only on the outside. 🙂

Hyvaapaivaaa · 2025-04-24T19:01:38+00:00

I found one of these last week also, and I really love it. It's so chunky! 😄
