I can start posting in this thread the day after the gig but I'm not sure it's a good idea because my posts will all be the same and I'll get told off again.Spiggythecat wrote:It seems tha biggest venue has smallest number of post

That's indeed what the venue's website says. I saw them in Paris, so I'll be able to compare the two. The club still looks like a nice place anyway.

Right back from Luxembourg.
Very good show overall, with
in very good mood and excellend sound, even from the front row.
I arrived at the venue shortly after 5pm. I had left quite early because :
a- I'd never been there before and didn't know the place.
b- Didn't want to be late because of traffic jam, flat tyre, alien abduction, etc.
Very nice venue, right in front of a large and impressive disused factory. The whole area is being renovated, but right now the Rockhal stands pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
I was actually the first one to reach the venue, which was a bit of a shock after Paris, where people had been waiting all afternoon outside The Zénith. Never mind, it allowed me to park my car right in front of the venue.
I then met Albérick, who had taken the trip from Lyon (!). We talked a bit with another French guy who'd come especially for Nihil.
Doors opened at 7pm. I rushed to the merchandising stall, got myself a UBG tee and a new logo one for my sister Caroline. Then we met - among others - Eva, Paul and Donna.
We also saw Chris and Nurse who signed a couple of tickets. 
Not much to say about Nihil, except that they didn't improve.
Same setlist as in Paris, except :
a- No WYDSM
b- Never land instead of I was wrong
As I said, excellent sound, in top form and great overall performance. To be honest, I found the guitar sound a bit weird on Never land. I wasn't entirely convinced. I was standing right in front of Chris (I was on Ben's side in Paris), who was his usual rocking self. 
Eldo was sporting his Chicago PD jacket, which he traded for a "f**k you I'm busy" security jacket for Top nite out... Since he was onstage at that time, just enjoying himself and grooving to the music. Donna especially appreciated his pole dancing. 
At the very end of the show he said something like "See you next time". It was definitely something about "next time", even though I'm not too sure about the phrasing. So much for biting the bullet...
So that was a very pleasant evening all in all. But still some variation in the setlist would be much appreciated. That was just my second gig this year, so I can't say I was actually bored, but I'm not going to follow them on the road knowing that there's such little variation either.
Oh and BTW, that show may or may not have been recorded. And some HLer may or may not have grabbed a copy of the setlist.

My point exactly. These 2006 Girls are a blast, but I quite don't feel like following them on the road. Two gigs are enough for me... until the summer festivals, that is.doc P wrote:i´ve said it before I will say it again .....

And there's of course another reason to go the show, and it's hanging around with all those lovely people from HL.

Nice review Eric...
How many people were there?

The club was full, so that means about 1,200. They were supposed to play the main hall, but that was clearly unrealistic : 6,500 !Ozpat wrote: How many people were there?
I think there was some action and a little pogo behind us, but I can't say for sure, as I was much more interested in what was going on onstage.
Even if I had found the show boring, with the two very lovely ladies standing on my right, the pogo certainly would've had very little appeal anyway.
Edit : And there was of course the usual loud guys who kept screaming "Mariaaaaan" at the top of their lungs. At least they made us laugh.

just got back from luxembourg - first up what a cool location for a gig. talk about a post-industrial landscape for our favourite industrial groove machine!
we had a bit of fun getting there, we came by train from luxembourg city & got off at the wrong stop. we assumed that the venue was in esch-sur-alzette. err, wrong. so we set off in what we thought was the general direction, and got a bit lost. so we popped into to this bar, where we & the old guys who were propping up the bar didn't have any languages in common. even so they tried their best to give us directions, but with little success. in the end one of the guys gave us a lift to the venue. that was so cool, and just goes to show how nice people are, and how far a smile & friendly attitude can go.
so thanks to that guy, we got to see the show.
we got to luxembourg city on friday & walking around the town i spied a guy wearing a sisters t-shirt under his jacket. so i asked him - 'are you going to the show?' he replied - 'yes, i'm in the band!' then the penny dropped 'you're ben aren't you?'.
he was a pretty cool guy & took time-out to chat with us. in a nice rockn'roll moment he confessed he couldn't remember where he had played last night - 'somewhere in germany.'
so all in all, a top trip!

i meant to say in my post last night that signed off by saying 'its good to be back, expect that you have never asked us before...' and then went on to say something to the effect that they would be back again.
it really was a top gig, the sound was good and voice was clear & strong(ish).
the gig was also well smokey, but the smokier the better in my opinion as it hi-lights the light show.
that is what makes a sisters show unique, watching the smog turn from yellow to orange to red & sometimes purple.
outside the venue after the show, you could see a dry-ice slick float into the night sky as they opened all the doors to clear the building!
as for his pole dancing to snub nose, that was worth the price of the trip alone...
so don't pay any attention to the negatives around here, the sisters are still the best show in (any) town.

that was a good show, not the best one I've seen on this tour but still a good one and it's still so good to hear "Never Land".
Thanks for the beer Badlander.
Outside the venue was really nice, I wish I had taken my camera with me. If someone took a pic of the old building I would love to see that.
I still wonder why is there so many policemen in Luxemburg...?
I managed to give my friends car back to Arlon (Belgium) just in time to see the Front 242 show there

Hi, just want to say that it was a pleasure to take part of this concert. Sound was absolutely great and think the boys (incl. Eldo) enjoyed the gig as well. I wonder if there exist any good recordings…
I stood in the second row in front of Chris with a girl two meters behind me - quite petite, dark haired, brown eyes, black dressed with some meshed sleeves which was in company of a taller short-haired (dark) girl friend. If you think that the description applies to you, please drop me a PM!
