♫ Eels in Paradiso

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.

Moby in de Rabozaal

Tijdens mijn eerste keer in de Rabozaal van de Melkweg zie ik Moby die in Europa is om zijn nieuwe album ‘Wait For Me’ te promoten. Het is nu de vierde keer dat ik hem live zie en hij is in topvorm. De fantastische Joy Malcolm begeleidt hem.
