Hi

i said i was going to write my review of last night gig, so here it is.

The venue wasn't full there was too many people but not sold out. The ambience was good, lot's of beautiful people :-)) I missed the opening act, i saw Dover when they opened for Faith No More here in Lisbon and i didn't liked it. So this time i didn't want to go through the same nightmare again, that's why i went to the bar and watch the football match between Portugal and Eslovaquia :-)) OH! by the way, Portugal WON 1-0 :-))))))))))))) YES!!!

Now back to the show, they kick off with Dream sequence, very beautiful. By their presence on stage it was obvious that the band was in a very good mood and everything was set for afantastic night. Then it came little arithmetics, the best version of it that i've eard in a concert in Portugal. Put the Freaks was a blast. The sound was great, and i must tell you that in that room that's not normal. It's hard to get a real good sound in that room. Sister Dew was introduced by Tom as a song about the feeling of killing someone...if killing could sound like that it would be :-)))))))) you know what i mean. By that time the party was already on Klaas was dancing all around Craig was playing very good Danny was good too (still don't get it why do the girls like that guy?? :-) ) Jules was great too but what caught my attention was Tim. He was seated all the time but playing great and really giving some good feeling to the songs with is guitar and singing (i don't know who said it but i have to agree, Tim second voice is better than Danny's voice). After Sister Dew came a fantastic fantastic bunch of songs: Sam (great), Suds & Soda (powerful version) the crowd went wild here,Fell of the floor (very cool), Magdalena (beautiful), Let's See who Goes Down First (it was a surprise for me, i wasn't expecting to ear this song live and it sounded very good), Roses (amazing), Instant Street who said this song didn't needed that end? It was a joke wasn't it? :-) powerfull version. This was the end. Tom introduced Tim to the crowd and told us why he was seated, he suffered a little accident and an injured his right leg. For the encore they played I very cool version of Turnpike klaas was great dancing and Tim was jumping around too. Turnpike was played as a medley with WCS, FANTASTIC. Then Magic Hour, my god, for me it's the best song of TIC, great melody great sound great lyrics. Everybody's Weird, was weird :-) Jules missed some beats and the song wasn't much good. Finishing the show came a incredible version of Hotellounge, i was very surprised with it. It sounded incredible. At the end of the song they started to improvise and Tom came down from the stage to the snake pit and he stood there playing and embracing the crowd, then Danny joined him it was very funny. They started to fade the sound and Craig took the micro and started singing something that i don't know. He kept on singing, Tim and Jules were the only ones playing, Klaas was in the pit too. They stood there in the pit looking at Craig singing the song faded and the show ended. It was a great moment. The Magic hour was ours. They play for about 2 hours and we could listen to the for the rest of the night.

It was great to see the band playing very well and having a lot of fun on stage like they used too, it seams that dEUS exists and looks healthy :-))))))) let's hope so.

After the show There was a party at a club but i couldn't make it maybe some of the others went there and could tell us something about it. Tom was the DJ.

Bye
