Review from Utrecht & Amsterdam:

As you all know Mike Randle is writing his Diary on my website.This week we got to meet eachother for the first time…….

"Ed, can you get Arthur some Maracas", cause the ones he had got stolen a few days ago!Mike wrote me this 1 day before Utrecht.Ok, No problem, I answered, I'll get the Maracas! I have to get Maracas…..I thought.I was sure that I didn't have time the next day to go into town and buy them!My wife was out with a friend, so I had to wait till she came home and then I could ask her.Huh..,I said, We have to get Arthur Lee maracas, I tried to say very cool while trying to keep my big smile hidden.Ok, she said no problem, I'll get into town and buy them!Few..
Man I felt really proud knowing Arthur would be using the maracas we bought him.

So that evening we went to Utrecht, My wife,Sam my son, Morrison and me.Just before the show Arthur and the band came in.I picked up the maracas and hurried up to Mike.
Hi Mike, I'm Ed, I said.Hey.The Freedom Man he said. Did you get the maracas? Yep and I handed them over to Mike.I didn't want to put them on stage, cause maybe it could get stolen again.(Like the setlist yesterday in Amsterdam.I was standing behind the girl who took it.So Mike you are right, it was the right girl who stole the list)

And then Showtime, Man I can't remember being so nervous, which I had been all day long.
They started with My Little red Book, and then Orange Skies, with Arthur Lee using our Maracas!
The show was amazing and the crowd was wild.Arthur's voice is incredible good and together with the band it became one universe!

After the show I talked a bit with Arthur, got his autograph 'n all.While I was talking with Mike I saw Arthur wandering around.Then he saw my wife and son sitting.He came over and had a little talk.I felt proud that this man was taking some time for my son.He's only 8 years off age, but really likes the music off LOVE.So later my wife took a picture of my son Arthur and me.I think it is a great thing experience for my son.And he knows, he also felt the magic of Arthur. Thanks again Arthur.

The next day the show was in Amsterdam, I went with a friend.This time the crowd was much more quiet.Only a few people in the front were dancing.The rest realized the saw the best show of their lives!!!
After the show I got the T-shirt from Mike, from the contest that we are doing on my website.It's a really great shirt and everybody signed it, also Arthur did.So somewhere on this planet there is this lucky person who wil win this great item!!

In Utrecht I forgot (offcourse, I was to nervous) to take some LOVE album's, but this time I took them along and now they are signed by Arthur.
Man, I still am in another world.I envy those people who still have to go and see the show.So please call, write everybody you know, to come and see the show, cause your life will be forever changed Andmoreagain…..

Better Photo's of the show will follow soon…….

All The Best,
Ed, The Freedom Man.
