I missed Loreena the last time she toured Europe, and I've been kicking myself for it. I have a trip to Athens planned specifically for her concert. I see today that the venue has changed. I can't find much online about the Vrahon Theatre. Does anyone know if they have a website? Is it easy to access via public transport? What is the neighborhood like?
Thanks,
Warren

Thanks Mihalis and kinnethik for your answers. Yes, the Athens set list is fantastic indeed, I agree with Mary. I have looked for videos on you tube and there is even a little scrap of Full Circle (memorable) other than the other rare, unique performances mentioned by Mary.
This show would deserve a DVD; Loreena, did you think of it yet?

Fantastic set list in Athens! I would have liked to be there to listen to live a few songs such as Sacred Shabbat, Beneath a Phrygian Sky and especially Tango to Evora and Full Circle. I hope to listen to them in another concert very soon
Yes, it's true, she did perform Full Circle in Athens - AND in Thessaloniki. I have to admit I hadn’t realized how hauntingly beautiful this song t was until I heard it live...
Anyway, here is the full set list of the Athens concert. I’ll upload the one of Thessaloniki in a separate threat. Marius
1. She Moved Through The Fair 2. The Gates Of Istanbul 3. The Mummers’ Dance 4. Bonny Portmore 5. Marco Polo 6. Dante’s Prayer 7. The Bonny Swans 8. Caravanserai* 9. Raglan Road 10. Santiago* 11. Sacred Shabbat* 12. The Lady Of Shalott 13. Beneath A Phrygian Sky 14. Never-ending Road (Amhrán Duit) Encores: 15. Tango To Evora* 16. The Old Ways 17.
