Amsterdam Ziggo-Dome, May 31th 2015

Exited for tonight's show. For the first time I get to see the five fireflies on the same stage at the same time. This after my first Mac show in 1988 and a few to follow ...

Anyway, as a rock-concert is supposed to be it's general admission in front of the stage, so I'm planning on going early. Too bad ' De Toppers' (Dutchies will know) play at the nearby stadium .. will be crowded overhere.

Hopefully there will be no technical difficulties like last time they played here :-)

I hope not! Flying to Amsterdam today from Glasgow for concert 1st June! Definetly hope no technical problems like last time, but the Ziggodome is a create venue and standing as well, the way a rock concert should be.

Any recommendations for good places for a couple of 40+ dudes to hang out tonight in Amsterdam?

I'm planning on going early too, I saw pictures of yesterdays Toppers event outside the Amsterdam Arena and there are going to be a lot of people...

So excited for tonight!

I'm Dutch and I don't know who these people are lol.

What time are you planning on going?

My concert is tomorrow and I'd like to be there before 10 AM. Really want to stand close to Stevie and give her my support. <3

I would go at 4 AM but I don't expect FM fans to be as crazy as pop concert fans.

Enjoy everyone. Am excited to hear your reports back

Oh **** I had no idea there's a Toppers concert at the Arena, this could possiby be a disaster crowd-wise. I have floor tickets too, I was planning on being at the Ziggo dome at 16:30 but I might have to try to get there earlier.

Waiting in line for doors to be opened. Not as crowded as back in 2013 ...

I thought I was late...

Probably because of the annoying weather

Enjoy the show!

Awesome, have fun!

Amazing show, my head is spinning right now!

It was magic to see the five fireflies performing again.

But I also thought it was a bit predictable. Of course I searched for setlist, downloaded the bootlegs. But stopped listening a couple of months ago.

I thought the show was very (of not 100%) similar to the ones I saw back in 2013 and even 2009. With the addition of a few Christine-songs.

They played very driven and solid, but there was no real fire. Very routine.

Alas, I'll have a second chance tonight.

That Songbird made me cry.

Horrible weather, I'll always remember this show for standing outside in the rain for 2,5 hours. My socks were soaking wet and I was cold for the rest of the night, but it was worth it! The show was great, I was very excited to see Christine back and she sounded (and looked) great. The band seemed well rested and in good spirits, after the recent interviews I was curious to see signs of any tension between band members, but no such thing (tho I did feel like Stevie and Mick didn't have much interaction?). It was a good show, better than 2013, but I do agree with SorcererJP, it felt very routinely. I'll post some pics on my blog later today.

At which time does the show start?
I'm seeing them in Cologne on Thursday, can't wait!
