Pearl Jam

What a difference a venue makes. From small Melkweg on Wednesday, to big (too big for my liking) Ahoy last night. But it was worth it, so get to see Pearl Jam. The show had sold out within minutes, so I was very happy to get the tickets, even though the seats were quite a way up on the tribune.

Tool

Maynard
It's really true, one does need more sleep as one gets older. Went to see Tool in Ahoy Rotterdam last night. The second show in this year. What a treat! :-)

I'm not really a big fan of Ahoy, the sound usually isn't very good. Luckily we had a great spot right in the center, so the sound was actually pretty good. A bit louder than I would have preferred though. My ears were ringing for quit some time after the show. And when will they ban smoking at gatherings like this? Such a disgusting habit.

Tool, again

Uhm, it looks like I've managed to get my hands on some Tool concert tickets. Again! They're playing Ahoy in november and sales began this morning at ten. Since the previous show sold out in 8 minutes, I'd deemed my chances to slim to score tickets yet again. However, when I just logged in to ticketservice, I was still able to get my hands on tickets. I'm mostly surprised at the moment, but I'm sure joy will set in eventually. :-)

Yes

Went to see Yes, in Ahoy Rotterdam, last night. I grew up with their albums and this was a line-up I couldn't refuse. I'd been once before, in 1990, I think. Quite strange to see the difference with the concerts I usually visit. Hardly any band t-shirts. People were actually drinking tea and coffee, instead of carrying beer trays. Not once did I smell any weed. Very weird. But good nonetheless. They're old, but they can still rock.
