    Hope everyone who was there had a rocker. We were on our way to get the train out to the gig when my friend passed out and smashed his head on the ground down by the canal. Me and my OH spent the gig in the hospital with him and the whole time 'Brain of J' was playing over in my head. I was somehow devastated and delighted when I logged in to see that it was played tonight! Thankfully my friend got the all-clear and everyone's settled back down now. We will be in attendance tomorrow night, where I will keep my fingers crossed for 'Immortality' or 'Off He Goes', but will be just as elated to be there and with all my travel companions intact.

    Wow! look at what was crossed off the setlist... Long Road, Immortality, Of the Girl, Of The Earth, PiL, BABA! This show would have been even more epic if those were left in :!:

    32 songs originally on the setlist btw...


    imo eddie wrote all those songs down w/ the intention of crossing a few off
    he went w/ what he felt the crowd needed

    no long road to get the crowd rocking from the beginning
    plus of the earth would have killed the vibe that was going on at the time


    immortality would have been sick

    as for baba vs ritfw....i guess it was a last minute vibe
    i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......

    why,ohhh why wasn't I there:(

    My dream of witnessing Indifference being played live would have come true.

    Well,there is still Prague and Berlin x 2 to look forward too.

    Mike was on fire during Even Flow, but hey isn't he always. Might one of the best EF ever heard live...

    He was struggling during the beg of the solo in Black even saying F*ck to the crew and shaking his head...

    Great show, great crowd and AMAZING sound..

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SHOW!!!!

    The set list was brilliant. The energy was incredible and the band really seemed to be enjoying themselves. I may be bias as all I wished for the two shows I saw on this tour was ' Brain of J' and 'Comatose'. I have never seen them performed live and totally flipped when I heard them coming on. I can leave back for NYC now and not feeling sad for missing night 2 ( I say that now). Will see them again in Philly in September.

    Here are two videos from last night's performance:

    Brilliant show. I finally got to hear Brain of J live. It was also great that they finish with Indifference.
    I had seated ticket completely at the back of the venue. Tonight I'm standing ... which is much better :D
    Gotta go queuing in a few hours ...
    By the way, the new venue is great !

    Is it true that the wristband is only for early entry?
    And not for entrance towards the pitt?

    The only purpose for the wristband is early entry access.  If you arrive to the venue after the public doors open you do not need to collect the wristband as it no longer has a purpose.  You may simply enter with just your ticket.

    Lastnight outstanding... Great fun kinks tribute for the kids, Comatose ripped the 2nd encore wide open and the crowd definitely knew it... though overall the Dutch crowd seemed to have pretty subdued energy, i felt much bouncier than those around me. Talked to some great people in the crowd though.

    Could anyone please email me if you have an extra wristband for tonight!!! Love reign oér me baby!
