Finally bought my ticket for next week concert in Paradiso. Suddenly getting over excited! Brings me back to 2008, seeing them in de Melkweg, also in Amsterrdam, during their Evil Urges tour. Absolutely great gig. They kept on playing.
No requests for this tour, hope they play a lot of The Waterfall, and well, also of Evil Urges, for all times sake. Maybe one little somehow stupid request, hope they don't end with One Big Holiday....I know they don't end standard with the song anymore, but you will see...Instead, open with OBH - it's still a great song- and end with any other song :-)
Okay, why not end with Circuital?!!! Or Lay Low??!! Damn, just end with the both!

Looking forward anyhow!

Since there is no thread for the Groningen show, I'll ask here.  If anyone is heading to the Groningen show, and there happens to be a poster (I realize it's a festival, and may not have one), I would love to get one.  It's (part of) my last name.

That is awesome.  You should definitely be excited..... combining travel with your first show (which I am pretty certain won't be your last)....... way to go.

not sure what everybody's plans are given international fandom is descending upon amsterdam tomorrow.   

my only plan is to hit up the noon (Zieseniskade 22, 1017 RT Amsterdam) sometime before the show for some coffee.  probably catch a few of you there.

Seems we always get a taping from Paradiso.

i sincerely hope so.  heartbreakin' man and mahgeetah to open was killer. they ran, phone went west, lowdown, the way that he sings - all incredible.  dondante was played right into memories, and the jam from touch me part 2 was awesome.

venue: incredible place, jim's voice was brilliant with the resounding acoustics

crowd impressions: they gave a shit-ton of love tonight and it was reflected in the performance.  the only thing that bothered me were the last minute "standing room heyeas," weaseling their way up through the masses.  the dondante chatter-boxes also irk me every time.

overall, mmj fuckin' crushed it tonight. 

again, please let there be a taper.

Fantastic concert! Still exhilarated...Band gave everything! A splendid combination between oldies and new stuff. Opening with Heartbreaking was just amazing. Dondante was brilliant. From the new album Spring was absolutely great.
Crowd was good, a full house.
Thnx MMJ!

Special mention: "The way that he sings"
So beautiful...

Fantastic show! Next one tomorrow  :thumbsup:
