Much better video:

We just came back from the fantastic concert of Grace Jones in Paradiso Amsterdam. It was everything I had expected.

She sang all her new songs and old hits. And every song a new ensemble.

She started on a scaffolding used a turning plateau and when she sang “Pull up to the bumper” the whole stage became a private dance party because she invited people on stage.

And when she started Slave to the rhythm she “Hula hooped” while singing until the end.

Last night (5 october 2008) I went to Maxwell’s Concert in the Heineken Music Hall Amsterdam The Netherlands

He opened with This Womans Work, originally from Kate Bush. WOW !!!

I FINALLY SAW HIM !!!!!!!

He came on stage more than one hour too late. He should have started at 20:30 but he started around 22:00. :-(

He played two new songs, of-course the one on his MySpace site Pretty Wings and another one.

He also did the song from All Green "Simply Beautiful".

And of-course all his hits, and sometimes slightly different which was very nice.

At one point he asked us to throw panties on stage. Nobody did at first but then I think a guys underwear was thrown and he put it over his head (?)

He ended with the song Whenever wherever whatever in English AND Spanish.

Than the dream had ended. Too soon.
Well maybe next year he will come back. And his album will finally be released.

S.M.V. (Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten)
Last night at Paradiso venue Amsterdam.
WOW !!! Three mega bass players just jamming together. Playing new songs from their new album “Thunder” and playing each others songs. And the piece the resistance was Stanley Clarke on his acoustic base. His hands hurt after that.

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
