Nov. 8th-Amneville,France (Galaxie)


Review by Sascha Rueger

the show lasted 2h30m, they played 30 songs

1st encore
dressing up
close to me (At first they started to play some strange music, only the 
             drums sounded like Close To Me, then they went into it...)

why can't i be you /lovecats/young at heart 
           (with Robert saying in a voive i've never heard before: 
             "Why are you doing this to me!?!")

some notes:
a small venue, i think there were about 3000 people.
really a "french" audience: very enthusiastic and doing pogo all the time ;)
i saw an old man, definitly older than 60, who "stand" near the front row 
and obviously enjoid dancing and jumping around, cool ey!? :)
Robert didn't say much, he only introduced 2 or 3 of his songs, and two 
times he said something in french plus "blablabla" and that's it...
Btw, it was quite interesting for me sitting around between thousands of 
french speaking people when i can't speak any french word, kind of 
"blablaba" here and "blub blub" there...:)

after the first encore they "pumped up" the sound, i think they did it 
because once again the crowd sang louder then Robert during the main set, 
after that, on one hand you couldn't hear the audience then, but on 
the other hand it was definitly too loud, too noisy to hear the music...

i was a little bit dissappointed when they stopped the show so early after 
Killing An Arab, because i've been to the show in Rotterdam were they 
played 3h00m and 35 songs and i think i was expecting too much :)
Despite that, it was a great show!!
