Concerts over the past year (part 1)

In my former post I already announced that I would give an update about the concerts that my wife N. and I went the past year in chronological order with a short review/comment. Of every concert I will embed some video (if available).

On November 30th last year we went to Depeche Mode at Ahoy, Rotterdam. Visiting this concert was a bit of a compensation for their cancellation of their performance at Pinkpop earlier that year due to illness of their lead singer Dave Gahan.

Although I never have been a huge fan of Depeche Mode, I like some of their singles like "Enjoy the silence", "Personal Jesus" (also like the Johnny Cash version) and "I feel You". And they have been unquestionably a major influence in electronic music. Although I didn't had extreme high expectations, the concert was much better than I expected. The sound was good, light show was excellent and their performance was energetic.

One week later we went to Rammstein at the Gelredome, Arnhem.

It's been awhile (TSPO and Korn)

Dear visitors,

A little bit longer than planned, but I'm back again. Not that I've been away. I didn't left the country. Just took some leave from blogging for an unspecified amount of time. I had enough things/subjects to blog about, it was just a matter of other things on my mind, lack of energy, focus etc...

When it comes to music I didn't kept completely quiet the past 7, 8 months. I just didn't blog about it that's all.

In my next post I will give you an update on the concerts that I, often accompanied by wy wife N., visited the past 9 or 10 months with some videos.

In this post I'll give a short report on two concerts that we visited last Friday and Sunday.

Friday N. and I went to Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (TSPO) from Japan together with an ex-colleague and her friend at "De Melkweg", Amsterdam. For N. and I it was the fourth time to see TSPO. If you're in for a fun night with a good band

A little more patience

As visitors might have noticed, things have been very quiet the past three months around here. Due to family circumstances (after a short sickbed my mother passed away last december, one month after we came back from Japan) I took some compassionate leave from blogging.

Things are slowly getting back to our normal daily routines. I probably will start posting again within one or two weeks. So please a little more patience. I'll be back soon.

Bye for now.
