Hi everyone! It was a very enjoyable concert in Carcassonne, even though there was no SOS or Speedway and it was rather short. The venue was magnificent and it is a shame there was no filming at such a beautiful place - another chance lost!
We were seated on the first row, which was very close to the stage, but it was perfect, because the band were standing quite a way back from the front of the stage.
It was an extremely hot evening and there were masses of flying insects. It was quite funny really, because Mark had to use some insect repellent during the show and muttered something about "....mosquitoes" - actually I think they were flying ants and really annoying! I think the band were affected by the heat a bit, especially Guy, who seemed to be wilting before my eyes, so was I in fact!
My favourite songs were TR, which was played magnificently and Marbletown, which seemed to have evolved yet again. The audience was very enthusiastic and the applause went on for what seemed like an endless time!
It was lovely to meet members of amit again - Lis and her sister and JulienFlamand for the first time and knopflerized, ds1984, Jeroen and Isaac, who was seated next to me - it was great to meet you all!
Now I am having withdrawal symptoms, because that was my last of five shows, but at least I have a few more days left to explore Carcassonne, which is really beautiful - and very hot - 38 degrees today!
