Review by TomKr
The show was very good, everything sounded awesome, except that the bass was drowned out during Like I Do and Lighthouse. Of course nobody else noticed this, but Iím a bass-nerf. Still, the two songs sounded really great Live, Chad T. was playing awesome stuff all over the place. The guitars on Lighthouse were awesome! Only too bad these two songs have pretty big parts that drive on the bass. Chad G. was in the process of smashing some cymbals during Like I Do. Ed was still getting warmed up a bit during these songs, although he was active already.

All Over You and The Dolphinís Cry were cool songs going back to the good olí days, and they were played very well by everyone. Now that Patrick could be heard better again he sounded awesome too. He was playing loads of cool stuff, which was great. Ed broke out the acoustic for an awesome rendition of The Beauty Of Gray, nice to break it down.

And then they continued into one of Edís favourites (as he as told us many times now) Run Away. It was really cool, because I was anxious to find out what theyíd do with the string parts. And yes, mr. T. took parts of the string arrangement upon himself. Really great. Of course the solo kicked buttocks. I think I have to agree with Ed on that song.

Voodoo Lady started with an awesome drum intro before Pat came in with some freaky-deaky bassplaying. Once more Chad T. filled the song with some great licks. Ed was getting more warmed as the concert went on and he was interacting with the crowd and the band more. They Stood Up For Love and Run To The Water were really cool.

Lakiniís Juice. Awesome. Absolutely the best song of the concert, for me. Always a great song of course and it was played and sung really well. Ed was really getting fired up around this time. The final verse was played mostly by Pat, instead of the usual heavy guitar riff, which was amazing. And the outro. Awwww, that is the best fucking outro ever. Especially with Ed and Chad during their LJ outro dance. Haha, insanely cool.

I Alone started with a cool funky intro and sounded great for the rest too. At the break the crowd was singing ìOh now we took it back too far blaÖ.î like Dutch crowds tend to do. I believe it stems from the days Ed sang the Eminem song and the Dutchies tried to stop him from doing that. Anyway Ed let the crowd finish the song, basically, and then broke into the Evolution Revolution Love part from Trickyís song. Great stuff.

HeavenÖ After seeing it twice already it was still great. Adamís guitar was turned down a wee bit compared to the night before, but it was awesome. This song is just totally cool. And Patís playing in the soft part is AWESOME. Seriously awesome. Well, that was it for the normal set, they came back after a while and finished with Selling The Drama and Lightning Crashes. Always great of course. Besides the silly clapping folks and some stupid bitches behind me. It was just a fucking great show!

I confronted Pat with the lack of BOP songs after the show and he said they'd probably be playing more new songs later. Woohoo!!!
