Concert 1 - Yep I'm going to both Amsterdam shows - a lucky boy am I - Firstly, a HUGE thankyou to Sarah & Steve. I think you guys just made, not just my week, month or year, but my life !
Just got back - WOW what a show, I met a whole heap of other fans who couldn't believe I'd come from Australia to see the boys play ! Woke this morning with a bit of a headache, didn't sleep well, maybe a little over excited.... anyway, took it easy & had an afternoon sleep. Got to the "Paradiso" Venue around 7.00pm already a huge Q, but started moving pretty much straight away & was in by 7.15pm, felt really cool to be on the guest list at the door. AC the VIP. Didn't have any trouble setting myself up center stage & about 3 people back. perfect spot, gotta think of the little people, so let some stand in front of me.
Band came on & played as perfect as I had always hoped, I even knew most of the songs ! Steve H came out at one point dressed as Santa. Got lotsa of photos & some Video as well, yes Steve, I'll make you a copy ;-) Might even put some up on youtube tomorrow. I'll link it here.
After the 3rd encore, the lights came on & I got a chance to speak & thank "Frenchy" the tour manager for the tickets, lovely guy, he invited me for sound check & meet the band tomorrow. I could have done that today, but wanted to say thanks first & be able to tell the guys how much I enjoyed the show.
More tomorrow YAY !!
P.S. just finalised some more plans - I'm off to Paris in a week Accomodation booked, 19th to the 23rd. Nice Hotel for only 39 euro a night, laughing !
WOO HOO HO HO !
