RVP Live Feed Fridays - Episode 8: Kingdom (Devin Townsend Project) @ Helsinki, Finland, Cable Factory 2010

For my eighth episode of RVP LFF, I chose the song 'Kingdom' from Devin Townsend Project's 'Epicloud' album. This was a song Devin decided to re-record from his 'Physicist' album for our 2012 album titled 'Epicloud'. It's a very popular song in his catalogue of music, so it became a live staple for pretty much every show we played!

Some of the reasons I chose this performance:

Like mentioned already, this song is a fan favourite.
This show took place in Helsinki, Finland at a venue called The Cable Factory. Finland has been one of Devin's biggest supporters for his music. The crowds were always amazing!
Kingdom was always a fun song to play. There was some fun drumming on it and I pretty much copied Gene Hoglan's drum part from 'Physicist' when we re-recorded it on 'Epicloud'. We did change a couple small things and added more 16th note double bass in the mid-section on the new version.
Lastly, we had the awesome Anneke Van Giersbergen join us for this show and a couple others on this tour. It's always a blast playing with Anneke and she always killed it singing 'Kingdom'!

I've changed my Live feeds to 9:30am Saturday mornings to let you guys soak up the video more before my live feed. Look forward to seeing you guys at my Facebook Page at 9:30am on Saturday morning for my Live Feed chat about this video and more!

Thanks for the support and all the best to you all!
