DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME;
"Utrecht rocks"
Right now, I'm in an amsterdam cafe, which if slightly filled with a marijanna stench (at least at the front part). we just drove here from Utrecht, the other dutch city (about 40 min away) that we played last night. I thought it was a really good show, better than berlin in my opinion (sorry Deutchland!), but the crowd was very "dutch" but i don't mean that in a bad way. quite of bit of "weed" in the air and people just meloowed out. But by the last 3 or 4 songs, were were going quite wild. I actually got to meet Ed (the freedom man!) and his lovely wife, who actually presented arthur with a beautiful new set of maracas as a gift from both of them! Thanks! and later, after the show, arthur was talking to her young son and it was reall cool to see this 8 year old kid among all that rock and roll! But he had no school today so don't think of Ed as a bad guy! I chatted with him and we all took some pix later and he bought me the heinekin he'd been promising me! and it was quite tasty! But I must say the beer in berlin was tops so far (although Copenhagen wasn't exactly chopped liver either!
But the club was packed and actually all the clubs we've played on this tour, with the exception of Odense, has been either packed, almost packed or sold out. The club chef made us a delicious meal, some sort of indonesian meal with fish and friuts and curry...very tasty. When we were at soundcheck, Dave Chapple reached in his pocked and realised he had keys from the previous nights hotel! and this happens every other day! He forgets to give the keys back so you can imagine his collection up to this point!
Also in the crowd was a very nice french fellow named Jean-marie. He and his wife came over from france and plan to come tonight as well. they also have tix to sevreal english shows as well! and, get this: they came to the garage and powerhaus shows in '96? ain't that somethin, huh. Well, i gotta go sound check...more later tonight, after the show!
