This is my review ~ Arrived in A'dam around 16h30 and headed directly to the Melkweg where we could get our membership cards. There was no-one inside as yet, and because we both needed the loo went in. Coming out of the loo I heard music *sound-check* and found my hubby inside the venue at the sound-check. I stood close to the bar and for a brief few minutes watched
with his baseball cap on, Ben and Chris doing their thing. The kind lady that had sold the membership cards to us, came and asked kindly if we could leave...
Off to De Zotte we went and met up with christophe, his friend and Shadow_Smile. The pub started filling up with a crowd and after drinks we walked past Melkweg where we saw Eva and czuczu and said quick hellos. Then the 5 of us went to have a quick meal. Back at the Melkweg, the queuing had started but went quickly and saw jenzi-benzi
who had sorted his tickets.
Going into the venue, I headed for the door and bumped into Chris who was just leaving in a hurry. The kind sir gave me a few minutes where I asked him to please get our tickets from our gigs (Paris and Amsterdam), autographed by the three of them. He told me to meet him outside the gig after the show. Thank you Chris for giving me time even though you were in such a hurry!
The venue was small and there were notices up saying NO PHOTOS or RECORDING allowed. Security were checking for camera's and some of the audience that tried to make phone-photos got a flashlamp directed at them.
(Idiot female standing right of me
) The front rows were dominated by some of the HL crowd and saw Andrew S again!
The gig started and in the beginning I noticed we couldn't hear
but it must have been some technical thingy, which got sorted because after that, I found his voice to come over powerfully and I had no problems hearing them! There was lots of smoke in the beginning but it wasn't constant and it was amazing with the colours. The stage was quite small so the three of them on stage really rocked.
They seemed to be having a good time,
threw an empty coke bottle into the crowd. The audience did sing along with some of the songs and in general it seemed everyone was having a good time. It always comes to an end too quickly.
After the gig, met libby and her partner, it was a pleasure!
Waiting at the door to finish my drink was asked if I was MB and it was the stunning _emma_! It was a pleasure meeting you and your better half and I am so happy that we had that connection!
Going to stand outside, saw Ben helping some fans and he looked tired.
Chris came out a bit later and handed me my tickets all autographed by
all three!
Chris was in a really good mood and said he was enjoying A'dam. We had photos taken with him that will be posted later....
Again a massive thank you, hope you enjoyed sharing my joint, and sorry about the lipstick, but I couldn't let you get away without the dutch kiss!
Thank you to dear Shadow_Smile for the lift to the station and to dear _emma_ and your better half, you know you are always welcome in my home for the next time!
As this is the last gig for me, it was awesome. If I have missed anyone, I am so sorry, Super Bob, I kept on looking out for you.
Oh and although nothing was supposed to be recorded, some hardcore underground gents did manage some recordings...I'm sure the sharing will begin in awhile.
I'm still enjoying the after gig high.
