Last day of the festival already. And what a big names we gonna see.
This year we also paid for two “plus” concerts. First Alicia Keys and then Diana Krall.
Alicia Keys, 13th july 2008, Nile venue.
When we entered the venue we went straight to the left side to sit on the tribune. But as you might know Alicia plays piano and most of her numbers were on that piano which was behind a very big curtain. So we saw nothing. Then we decided to go to the center where we saw much more but it was too far away for my lens so I used my friends Lumix.
But a very great performance nonetheless.Â

Time for another “plus” concert. Diana Krall Also very good, her voice together with her piano…smooth!! She played songs from Nat King Cole and one great song from Joni Mitchel called Case Of You. They scared us if we tried to take pictures so I have sneeked this one (very bad).Â
Youssou N’Dour 13th jyly 2008, Nile venue
A lot of African energy on that stage.Â
The Mars Volta 13th Jyly 2008, Maas venue.
I REALLY NEEDED EARPLUGS HERE. They played their psycedellic rock..or whatever SO loud.Â
YEAH Marc Ronsson Very good. the horn section together with the strings. All guest appearances. And he finished with “Valerie” not by Amy this time ofcourse.Â
This is what the Nile venue looks like at the end of the North Sea Jazz festival. It was a great experience again.Â
Bye, see you next year in 2009.Â
