5. Mastodon @ Effenaar, Eindhoven
6. Thrones/Sunn O)))/Isis @ Kontich, Belgium
7. John Zorn's Electric Masada @ Blue Note Festival, Ghent, Belgium
8. Prong @ Effenaar, Eindhoven
9. Melt-Banana @ Paradiso, Amsterdam
10. Naked City @ Theater Carre, Amsterdam

In fact, I thought the Electric Masada show was WAY better than the Naked City gig.
The NC gig was under-rehearsed to say the least. It was Mike Patton's finest hour, but
I really couldn't get into Frisell's playing. I walked out of his gig at the Blue Note Festival
in Ghent a couple of weeks later. The worst concert of the year, though, was Tomahawk
@ Paradiso, Amsterdam. Never before have I seen Patton performing so badly.
