Re: Sinister: Rotterdam

8 Apr 2002

      some other songs they played that marc forgot to mention: 
  seeing other people
  waking up to us
  dirty dream no.2
  wandering alone + 2 other songs from storytelling
  legal man, of course, and an impro of oliver´s army.   
i totally agree with marc that belle were absolutely amazing, i saw them for
the first time, although i´ve been a fan since 1996, they just never came to
germany, as far as i know. i was so incredibly happy during the gig, the
good thing about this not having been in britain was that it wasn´t so
crowded,
you could stand in front and you could dance and it was staged in a
big theatre,
really beautiful. afterwards we went to see david kitt, who was great, at
the end he played a song that was about 20 minutes long and him and the band
went all mogwai, really noisy and epic and intense. we haven´t seen much else,
cause we needed some time to relax and drink beer, as you could neither smoke
nor drink in the theatre itself, unfortunately.
oh, and rotterdam is a beautiful city, not in the classic sense, much has
been destroyed during world war II, but it´s very lively and cool and you can
bicycle in the sun and have picnics by the water and stuff...nice.

something personal at the end, today i got the confirmation that i will go
to manchester in september to study there for a year. there were 3 places
available in the erasmus programme, and i have got one and i´m really proud and
happy and i can´t wait!

love, anakin

dear sinister,
just came back from the rotterdam gig, and it was
truly amazing. i don't 
really know what to tell or what to skip, so this
may be a bit chaotic.
the gig took place in a true concert-hall, and the
sound was brilliant. 
though i mst agree with a previous comment that it
was not loud enough. i 
don't remember the tracklisting at all, but the
songs that were definately 
played were:
mayfly
the boy with the arab strap
a century of fakers
slow graffiti
there's to much love
don't leave the light on
i could be dreaming
is it wicked not to care
me and the major
the state i am in
the wrong girl
there were many others. i've heard it was broadcast
on the radio, and if 
anyone accidently  taped it i would love to get a
copy.
my personal highlight: the cover: here comes the
sun. i'd hear them play it 
on the bbc, and when stuart asked which song they
should play  that wasn't 
theirs i asked for here comes the sun, which they
started playing a few 
minutes later. it wasn't as perfect as the
bbc-version, but i'm sure i've 
never been happier during any song on any concert in
my life.
they enjoyed themselves, and loved the acoustics of
the hall. and asked us 
if we would come again if they were to play in
holland again.
that's all for now. time to sleep and then go
abroad. good night. love,
marc
