Mmh, it's difficult to write about a gig you've seen three years earlier ... It was the day before Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a carcrash after dining at the Ritz in Paris, which made me laugh a lot. I was on the bus going from Nandrin to Liège, a bus packed with festival-goers, and it was the first bit of news we heard after a night of drinking and scaring the surrounding cows. And, of course, of talking of all those great performances we'd just seen.

It was a great festival, with an impressive Belgian line-up : Evil Superstars, DAAU, Be Plouvier (not really good, but three years ago I was a fan), and of course dEUS, plus great things like Sophia and lots of bands I hadn't heard of. All this for the incredibly low price of 500 Belgian francs (12.5 euros).

I would be lying if I said that dEUS left a vivid impression of that night. I had a feeling that they didn't really care about doing Nandrin, a really small festival (attendance 5,000 at its peak, ie during the dEUS gig) in a remote part of Southern Belgium. But I remember Tom saying that it would be the last time they'd ever play Via. Dunno if it's true.
