Damn. Next appointment in 2007 ?

I personally wouldn't mind if I could go see them again tomorrow...

Some stuff I forgot to mention:

• FALAA was even better as the Tilburg version, it rocked quite a bit more...
• Lucretia was done in a completely different way, at least another intro which was very nice indeed!

Also, I think this gig was less about Adam showing off, and more about giving one hell of a gig...

BTW: Did all of you guys look at the text screen? Great fun, you could send in your text messages which would get displayed, I wrote:
Heartland welcomes Von to this Raspberry Reich where all believe in Robochrist and Doktor Avalanche heals, sadly the pic I took went all blurry

There was another HL text, but don't really wholly remember that one, and some funny ones like a couple of Von-lovers (we want to get backstage, especially with Eldo (ps Goth Rules)) Don't think the PS was a good idea ... Also there was 'The m*****n Rules' and 'when's Hussey coming'

Sadly he did not have his 'Kiss me I'm Eldritch' pin on

Pictures of it all: clicky (have to get me an extra account or so, can't fit the last 30 pics in)

The lyrics to Uptown Top Ranking

Love is all I bring inna me khaki suit and ting
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots

Watch how we chuck it and ting
Inna we khaki suit and ting
Love is all I bring inna me khaki suit and ting
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots

When you see me inna pants and ting
See me inna 'alter back
Sey me gi' you heart attack
Gimme likkle bass, make me wine up me waist
Uptown Top Ranking

True you see me in me pants and ting
See me inna 'alter back
Sey me gi' you heart attack
Gimme likkle bass, make me wine up me waist
Gimme likkle bass, make me wine up me waist

Pictures of it all: clicky (have to get me an extra account or so, can't fit the last 30 pics in)

nice I'll post mine when I have them (I made them in the old fasion way)

[christophe]

I got a 2min video from Emma (its only the first half of the song)
you see eva's hands a few times and you can hear Randdebiel² yell what song it is clicky

Christophe (who got hold of something very special...but he 'll tell you himself)

yeah... I got a pic right here
it tastes quite good

[randdebiel²]

good, I'm awake

it was incredible, the show had a very different vibe than the Tilburg gig (partly becaus it was outdoor) but the band seemd to play even more energetic this time.
adam and robochris Rockd the place down and VON was clearly having a good time.

in the chaos infront of the stage I found a old familiar-> Randdebiel² (if you people still know him?)
other than that a big to Eva, Helen and Andrew S
and to the other nice people as well ofcorse

Christophe (who got hold of something very special...but he 'll tell you himself),

sssst...I'll tell about that as soon as possible

and like I promised, here I am, from a temporary computer since mine is still broken....
it was definitely one of the best gigs I've seen yet (topped only by AB Brussels 2002(the free gig) and Eurorock 1998)
about that special thing.....has anyone used as much as I did? is it normal that my heart is still pounding? it's the only thing unusual that went through my body yesterday, so....
I was wondering if he put a speed derivate in it
I haven't slept all night because of it....ah well, it was worth it

the most important thing is: great crowd, great sound, great light show, the sisters themselves in better shape than the last years, and that emma-thing (y)
one to remember, definitely
I'll try to get hold of computers the next days to read further about this

Well, I don't have any problems because of it and I had quite a big sip of it, so I'm affraid that'll be you

But it did taste good, didn't it

i hoped some1 recorded it..don't care that much about the quality...
sounds great though, maybe because the sound was that clear and X-elent yesterday...

i'll do about anything for it... (unless some1 has a better recording..lol...)



gonna set it in loop now and dream back a bit...

Wouldn't mind getting a copy of it too, and the quality seems to be far from bad, so

Yeah, well, if you don't mind some microphone fumbling (mic fell off my shirt at some point ), some distortion and some guy bumping into my microphone ...

Wow! Sounds great, thanks!
Will you upload the whole gig, or will it only be available through trades?

It is easy...i can decide for you.

Anyhow, really nice of you to share the teaser! I am really looking forward
to Mera Luna. It will be awsome for shure!
See you there folks.

It had sound for me. (It wouldn't play for me, said the file was corrupt, but I used virtualdub (direct stream copy) and that repaired it.)

Thanks for the video christophe. Now, can anyone upload an mp3 of the full song.

Quicktime worked well for me, and the Emma-riff really gives a shiver down my back. I really like it! Hope they play this one at Mera Luna.

And I just love this photo:



Markfiend edits: I've removed the huge inline image and turned it into a Clicky. Sorry.

And again: Oops it was bigger than that before!

I know, I noticed it only when I posted it
So I changed it quickly before anyone had seen it,


At least... That's what I thought...
