Antwerp 8/31

From Tom:
There was some debate about whether we played in the world’s diamond capital of Antwerp before, the band was saying yes -and after some intense (not really) online research they were proved correct. Not only had we played Antwerp in July of 2009 but we had played the same beautiful Openluchttheater Rivierenhof, so we got all that squared away. Lu really love the sound on stage so the technical problems of the night before in Amsterdam were completely behind us. This on did have a rather unusual ending. All day long they had been telling that it was a hard curfew so we were careful to make the setlist go right up to the final minute -and actually a couple minutes. After Lu and the band had left the stage and headed toward the dressing room -and with the boisterous crowd now not wanting leave—one of the production mgrs came over and said “one more”. So we went to see if we could get everybody together to go back out and do another song. About this time the house light came up and th after show music had started and some people had started to leave but most of the audience was still there.. We had to go get David back from the dressing room but we managed to get everybody back quickly and back on stage for a rollicking version of Get Right With God -and people who had begun leaving came back down to the front of the stage. A crazy ending to a great night in Antwerp we’ll definitely remember this one.
