How to ruin yourself a HMH concert.

1) Travel to Amsterdam the day of the show
2) Leave Paris on the early...afternoon
3) Find out that your train is at least 20 minutes delayed because it arrive late from Amsterdam
4) As the train is not reaching inbetween stations at planned time, you have to wait that "the" platform become available and thus get extra late time
5) Once arrived have a looong waiting queue at the information center to buy your "48 uur" travelcard.
6) Not buying your ticket from MK.com and see lot of people getting before you.
7) The bloody scanner can't read the barcode on your home printed ticket and see another bunch of people come in
8) Once in, you think to have found a nice spot but you are so thirsty but if you leave diffuiculdt to be back
9) Have a try to buy drink but to pay you have to queue in another long line to buy token before beeing able to order at the bar - too long so back to the spot in the inside venue
10) Then arrive next to you two ladies will full of soft alcoolised drinking (but none for you) - that mean with the high temperature that they are nicely drunk and from start to finish they chat, laugh out loud and, take photo  without any discretion and occasionaly let you enjoy the music.
11) Not being aware that your ticket allowed you to go seated.
12) Feel fucking tired with all that stress and the noisy people next to you while the band is delivering  a really great performance and what you want then is to go out and have some rest...And this as soon as the third song.

THE CONCERT WAS GREAT!!! :P

I LOVED it, enjoyed it, the music was perfect!! I would love to hug Mark and the musicians and tell them I feel like I am in heaven!  :-*........Uuuhhh do I have to say more?  ;D

Besides the concert it was wonderful to meet so many friends from this forum. I wished we could have spent more time together, but perhaps we have that change next Tour.

Ds1984 I heard about your traveling problems when you SMS-ed with Nelly. I was glad that you were on time at the concert and that we could meet also. I hope the second concert was better for you and that you didn't have any problems anymore.

I just read Isaac's blog about Amsterdam and he made me laugh the way he described our food and the run to the stage!  ;D

I have been busy with my pictures and video's, but asap I will try to write a review.  ;)

Here is already a picture of the group of fans who met each other at the HMH, there were more people, but some had to leave earlier to catch the train or had to drive a long distance! Of course also Isaac, Jeroen Gerrits and Ingo with his wife and son from Germany were there.

As you all know it is forbidden to videotape during the show when they are singing and playing because it is disturbing for Mark, the guys and people in the audience. OF course I respect Mark's wish and didn't record during the show, you all know I am a chicken!  ;D

BUT I thought there is no harm in that I recorded during the break and twice at the end!  ;D Lucky my photo camera has 14x zoom! ROFL

Btw a big guy in front of me and people next to me were waving their arms and pushing me, so I had to move now and then, that is a pity!  >:(

I hope so.
This a valid reason for Mark to do at least another tour.

Fieneke

Thank Fieneke.

It was a pleasure to meet you again and to have a drink with all.
These pre or aftershow make these gigs very special, the idea of meeting all those nice people make forget these insane miles and hours spent in trains.

And day 2 answer is here  ;D

Fieneke,

Wondeful picture of you guys all.  Everybody looked so happy.  But will you put some names on the pix so, I can put names to faces.  And yeah, I can't wait for those close up of Mark.  Thanks for the videos, will watch them soon.
