It has taken me more than a full 24 hours to come down after
the amazing concert in the Ancienne Belgique. I won't bore people with the
setlist, but this was ten times better than last time they played Belgium
(Gent). Nobody can ever say that this show is not worth the 30 Euro
admission. The visuals for Vitamin are amazing. The Klang box was indeed on sale
for a stiff 150 Euro, but that's still only a fraction of the insane prices you
find on the net. The guy behind the counter told me he had five copies with him.
When I left he only had four. Get one of these, they are great. Does anyone know
if this is a reprint or the last ones from the original 97 version? Under no
condition should you leave without the tour program. It's 15 Euro, full colour
and a gem.
And the best thing of the whole evening was that I got to say
hello to Ralf Hutter and the two other guys later on. Florian was already gone,
sorry to say. I never thought I would actually get to meet these people. We only
talked for about three minutes but Ralf was very kind and polite.
Belgian newspaper De Morgen gave the concert five stars (the
maximum), and named it one of the ten best concerts the journalist ever saw (and
he's seen a lot of them).
Kind greetings
A very happy Paul from Belgium
