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!!
