Finally, seeing Mr. E. again after ten years. This time in one of the nicest concert venues of Amsterdam, Paradiso. Last time I saw him was at Rock Werchter in 2000, where the atmosphere will never be as intimate as at a gig. Especially not when it’s in an old church. Ever since the debut album Beautiful Freak from 1996, I have been in love with Eels. Reviews about this show have been very diverse though and I can relate to both sides. It was a strange concert. He looked weird (see below) and was playing very fast. But still, that voice!!! He didn’t disappoint me at all. Scroll a bit further down to see a couple of movies I shot.
