Madrugada
Expecting the usual Friday-night traffic, we left early for Amsterdam and were able to get great seats on the balcony. I love going to shows in Paradiso, it's got a great atmosphere. You'll be able to see for ourself when (hopefully they will) they get clearance to show the performance on Fabchannel. Fortunatly the same thing happened the next day, once again on the balcony, though this time on the other side. The band gave a fantastically energetic performance on both nights. They played a nice mix of songs from the new album and plenty of classics from the back catalogue, including my favourites Strange Colour Blue and Blood Shot Adult Commitment.
Quite special: in Amsterdam we were treated to an English cover of Amsterdam, the Jacques Brel song and, because the crowd was still making a lot of noise after the first encore, they came back a second time to play 2 more songs!
