Review
Undoubtedly the best dEUS concert I ever saw. Tom Barman still refers to this gig in interviews (eg. Oor 1999) as one of his best shows ever. Noone expected dEUS to play another gig in Belgium that year, because they allready did 2 shows in the AB and Rock Torhout/Werchter. Luckely there was 'Les Nuits Botanique' in Brussels. Bé Plouvier opened the night, but wasn't very impressive. Evil Superstars just finished their second album and their show was more a try-out gig, but excellent it was! I remember Mauro trying to speak French, but that wasn't such a good idea. When a roadie came onstage, he tried to explain that he likes to play cards with the guy, saying something like "Euh, ça mon ami et euh moi jouer les cartes avec euuh ami" C.R.A.Z.Y.-B.A.B.Y. The venue was a rather small tent, completely sold out…and getting really hot.

dEUS kicked of with a very loud SUdS&SOdA and the rest is History. No musical mistakes, great 'ambiance' and beautiful versions of Gimme The Heat and Disappointed In The Sun, with just Tom singing and Piet playing piano. Highlight of the show: Sam Louwyck and his dancers during Turnpike (with Danny playing some trumpet).
