I'm SO gutted I had to walk out during Dumb All Over since I couldn't get a lift... Looks like you were having so much fun...
That's a shame, because Peter North, the guys and Sheila performed an awesome gig (my second one in 6 months, after seeing them in Amsterdam) all the way in Hengelo.
I had to travel all the way from Leeuwarden to Apeldoorn (2 hours by train), where a good friend from Utrecht picked me up at 19:00 by car and we went to the show together.
The plan was to try and take the last train home from either Hengelo or Apeldoorn, but since the show ended at a little after 23:00, that was of no use...
So i drove back with my friend to his place in Utrecht and got there around 01:30 at night and slept on an inflatable mattress on his floor, which had a leak.
Tried inflating it 2 times, but that was useless, so i ended up sleeping on his couch for a couple of hours...one of the worst night of my life, but what the fuck, i got to see some of the best music ever.
The videoscreens we're a great bonus, awesome to see Peter, Sheila and the rest play along with footage of FZ from 36 and 28 years ago.
Watching the footage of Frank gave me goosebumps and the occasional tear in my eye...man, i miss the guy
Me and my friend we're standing right behind the mixing desk in the back of the hall, right in front of Peter North.
Unfortunateley some of the enjoyment of the show was being demolished by a couple of drunken and/or stoned douchebags.
Even before the concert started there was an old man being carried away by a younger guy and when they passed us, there was an alarming amount of smell of weed coming from the older man...
If you can't handle that sort of stuff, then keep the fuck away from it is what i say...
But that was not the end of it, because there we're about 4 or 5 very annoying guys standing alongside us.
These guys honestly talked (shouting more like...) during the whole concert, went for beer the whole time (and in the process of getting it, constantly pussed us in the back and stood on or feet and ankles) and we're just annoying us the whole show !!!
They treated the concert as if it we're some kind of bar and i noticed others around me that we're really annoyed by them.
I mean, what's the point in going to a concert if you're not going to listen to the music and are just there to get drunk and be a nuisance to others ?
To end this rant on a light note however:
I did buy myself the new HAMMERSMITH 3CD in Hengelo and it's awesome
