Second Amsterdam Night
Ok, I caught myself on mondaymorning that I checked Dutch 'Marktplaats' (Ebay) to see what the demand for tickets was ... My legs were still hurting from the night before.
But I left home at the same time as on sunday for Amsterdam and it was a bit more crowded. After a good 90 minute wait, doors opened and rushed in (pit-stop at lockers, restroom, coins-machine and the bar) and I ended up a few meters further from the stage. Now I was at Christine's side (6/7th row) , while I was at Mr. Buckingham's mike )kinda 2nd row) on sunday.
The sound was a bit better then the night before and I thought the band was 'on it' a bi more as well. Not that sunday was bad, but as I sad earlier: a bit routine.
My highlights (in no particular order): IKINW, GDW, Little Lies, GYOW, So Afraid, Second Hand News. Songbird moved me a lot more too. Maybe it was because I could now actually see Christine. Sunday I just looked at a grand piano with the top of her head above it :-)
Alas, next saturday I will be in Antwerp as well. Not on the floor (too bad) to relive it all over again.
