Hi All,
Sorry about my late late review but had some trouble getting from Dublin to Amsterdam yesterday because of the bad weather mainly in Holland. After six hours delay and a wintery drive we finally managed to get back…
But it was worth it ! What a great gig this was, I have seen a few and even lost count but this one surely stands out as one of the best….
The start was superb with the band behind a white curtain which dropped at the first lines of Fugitive and I think most of us were surprised that most people were singing along with the lyrics…
What followed was a chain of great fun, quite a bit has already been mentioned on the David Gray forums…but just a few things from me….
- Jackdaw, for me one of the best tracks of the album…
- Everytime, fantastic piece of work by Neill on this…
- The Other Side, still evolving… where does it stop… superb !
- Nemesis, another favorite… introduced with David congratulating our own DJK with his 60th gig..
- Please Forgive Me, my hands are still hurting….
- Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who, this was just so much fun… like David playing Friday I’m in Love but then even more outspoken and so rocking the place, what a Christmas treat …Have not seen any video’s of this but will surely do later this week (watch DJK’s YouTube..)
The band was very relaxed and having a lot of fun, I found them very interacting and during Won’t Get Fooled Again David jumped on the speaker right in front of us and we had to watch the mic swinging in front of our faces… what a blast !
Here’s a video of David Performing Atlantic City (Bruce Springsteen cover)

Thanks to Neill, Robbie, James, Keith and of course David and everyone involved in this superb performance !
Another Thank You to DJK, Rena, Nevermind, Elysium, Wildhope and Littlenoise. Great seeing and meeting all of you and by the looks of it you all made it home safe and sound.
Take care !
Marcel.

Hey there,
Did DG really sing and not play the guitar at the same time? That’s a new one! Hope to see DG live some day as well ..
I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now
I’m not really requesting anything, but you posted previously an amazing version of Nightblindness from Luzern. Do you happen to have the other songs from the concert too? I’m a big fan of DG bootlegs but I haven’t really found a good one from 07 and that sounds exactly like something I’m looking for. Just wondering how you acquired it since archive.org doesn’t really have anything listeneable from that year. Only got to hear the greatest hits tour material on the deluxe edition of Draw the Line, and that was goooood!
Also, big thanks to to that Joe’s Pub recording you posted (among others)!
Oh and while I’m at it, did you ever do a mp3 rip off the new Luzern concert that was on tv?
Well, there goes my somewhat rude introduction to your blog, sorry
It’s just great too see someone as enthustiatic as me about DG live recordings!
