I'm not going to write much. I will let Avi and Noam give you the full details. The show was great. Unfortunately for me, I stood in the front, surrounded by young girls, who screamed in my ear, at times drowning Barman's singing.

Although I can't compare with other shows on this tour, my impression was that this was a good concert. The pace was even throughout, even though they had minor sound problems. The audience was very responsive and warm. I hope the band had a good time, too. Best moments for me: Magdalena and Instant Street (and I'm a bigger fan of WCS, on most days!). If I recall, the setlist was pretty much the same as on other shows on this tour. There were no big surprises. They encored with Turnpike and Everybody's Weird. All in all, a great night.

hello, hello ..........and hello again !

i came back home just 15 minutes ago (it's 3am at the moment) , that show was the Best thing i ever saw in my life ! .......it was so great, i think the best way to describe it is writing all the words like GREAT WONDERFUL and so just on and on .... ;-)

the place was really crowded , i think it sold out completely, the audience was really good i think....knew the songs, jumped there was No space to move , the only thing to do was jumping up and down and so i'm really tired now :-)

the kicked off the show with "let's see who goes down first" which they played again later in the show but quite different, but the first version was better they became i think more happy and cheerful during the gig.......... and it was GREAT ! tim gave people from the crowd sometimes to fret his guitar , that danny guy sure seems a cool rocket ;-) ........he surfed on the crowd for a little while (i don't remember in which song) and then one of the security guys had to pull him back and he like grab him and then carried him like a big baby ! ....;-)

the stuff they sold at the souvenirs stand was quite disappointing as there weren't any t-shirts but only shitty kind of shirts ............... but ............. there were posters ofcourse and because i was one of the last people who left after the show the guy who sold all that stuff just said to all who was there "just take these for free" .........so that's good for me :-)

the show was about two hours and i don't remember the exact setlist but i'll try writing it in the end (i taped the show from the radio so i'll try listen to it maybe tomorrow and get the exact setlist)

when they played sam' i was so happy, i looked at people and they didn't know what to think ........it was great ;-) it didn't look to me like klass was having problems with his leg no more cause he did a BOOGIE dance before and through turnpike which was unbelievable and they all danced on that one , it was pretty funny ;-) fell of the floor man just blew me away, it was so GOOD !!!!!! i think tim should be a permanent member on dEUS cause he really adds stuff , musically & vocally serpentine was really beautiful, and after that they left for a few seconds and came back for w.c.s which was all mostly played by a playback but it was great cause jules put his towel on his head and started doing his own kind of dance behind the drums and they all danced , what was really different about the w.c.s they played is that they cut the whole part that goes at the end ".......it's the first draft , of a WORSE CASE scenario ! " i don't know why but people expected it and so did i but they still did a pretty messy part at the end of it which was real good

ok..............now we go for the part which was what made the whole experience much better, after the show there was a party in some other place where tom was the dj and and tom said during the show that everybody's welcomed and he mumbled where it's at ......anyway, it was at some place which is soooo small, something like 10 meters wide and 5meteres long , but lots of people were just "hangin' around" outside and all the dEUS people were there except for craig now, i made some "conversations" with tim, tom and klass , and here's a little quoting i try to remember -

first talk with tim :

..............i was quite nervous at first altough i didn't except that to happen ;-) so i asked him first if there's a chance evil superstars will ever do something together again , and he said "don't think so...no" , i don't even know where that question came from :-) and then i just told him how i loved the show blah, blah , blah ...... and he was a really nice guy .....really at the end of our little chatting he shock my hand with both of his hands and that's ..................hmmmmm , something :-)

second talk with tom : first i told him that there are people in austraila who are waiting for them and they asked me to tell him and he replied - "it's very expensive to go there, tell them it's alright, we'll sure be there in two years" ..........so mates, i guess you'll have to wait some more but it'd be worth it for sure ;-)

then i told him that some ppl from the internet ( we ) are going to a cover album of their songs and he was surprised (i thought someone had told them already about this.....) , and i blahed some more about that and he said he'd wanna hear that

and he also shock my hand with one of his hands , it was a firm hand shake , ............i'll never forget it ;-)

third talk with klass :

me - hi, my name is avi (...........he's the only one i told my name to cause i just didn't thought of that ;-)
klass - hi
me - are u planing on ever doing a solo album or something like that
klass - in the next year and so i'll do some stuff on my own , and work on a solo project
me - are u guys planning on doing a special show on saturday since it's the last show of the tour ?
klass - hmmmm, no ........we'll treat it as a regular show
me - i heard u had some problems with your leg , it looks alright now
klass - yea, i act as it doesn't bother me , but it's still painful , i jut keep the pain inside
me - ok, good luck on your stuff .............bye
klass - bye , bye

* he was really bothered by Alot of girls, but alot .............i waited some time to have a word with him

* tim was i think the nicest one , later on my friend talked with him and his girlfriend and light his fire again and again (cigarette) ..........and they asked him who is she (his girlfriend) and then he talked for about 15 minutes about her ;-) .........and he said that today (from the last midnight) she just turned 22 , and that he's now 21

he's a really nice guy, and his girlfriend looks (not only her "looks") very nice we left them while one of my friends told him they look very nice together and he hopes they will be always together and she said "definitely" :-)

ok, i think i'll go have a little sleeping time before school begins in two hours ;-( i need to sleepppppppp !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

it was just a SUPER ORGASMIC night for me and i'll finsh by quoting Judit here saying : dEUS is everything ........for sure :-)

bye peace and love to all of u

wow it seems i'm the last one to write about the show... as Avi and Zvia said, it was indeed an unbelievable show... i NEVER had this unbelievable sensation in a concert! the crowd was great-knew all the lyrics (except to sam peckinpah's daughter), jumped around, was really great.

Craig when they came on stage, gave the people in the front some marshmellows on a paper plate.. and then they started the show NOT with "let's see who goes down first" as Avi said, but with "A shocking lack thereof" i doubt dEUS will ever play the same song twice in a concert. then they played sister dew which was great, litle arithmetics, sam peckinpah's daughter, then suds and soda which was AMAZING i blew so much energy on this song... (i was really close to the stage) right in front of craig. then magdalena, which was fantastic, and Tom seemed like it was the song that meant the most to him on the show... then hotellounge, with a surprising addition of another verse sung by Craig (for some reason he gave me a really evil smile right before he started singing... he probably noticed my dEUS stickers on my shirt :)) )...

then put the freaks up front, everybody's weird, which in this point the show started being really powerful and strange. Now they played Let's see who goes down first, the magic hour and instant street, which were all great, especially instant street. then they went off stage... and after a few minutes, klaas came on stage, started playing the sample of theme from turnpike, and then started dancing and doing shit on stage like playing aimlessly on the drums, and "entertaining" the crowd... then every other member came on when he was supposed to start playing, so tom came on first for the singing, and danny for bass etc.

at the end they again mixed prodigy's "no good (start the dance)" into the song, in which point the crowd pretty much went silent, and i was left singing the lines on my own pretty much. then they did fell off the floor man, which i totally didn't expect... it was reaaaaaaally cool, and everyone got pissed at Jules for fucking up the drums for about two seconds and started yelling at him, telling him to get in rhythm... then, tom introduced everyone in the band, with a solo from every member, and then Tim (is that his name?) yelled at the band to be quiet, and did a rap introduction to Tom... it was something like "yo yo yo give it up for the man, the guitarist, the MC... Tom Barman!" then they played roses, at which point i was totally exxxxxxstatic, and serpentine, and worst case scenario which i don't think they usually play... it was great. By the way, as Avi said, Danny tried crowd surfing... that was hiiiiilarious.. i was one of the guys he fell on, and the coolest roadie with them helped him up and they both fell on each other on the stage, so the roadie picked up Danny on his back, and Danny played like a minute of that song (i think it was fell off the floor man) while on his back.

After the show, i tried getting hold of whatever leftovers i could, so i talked to that roadie, and he told me they are out of guitar picks, and they need to buy some before the next shows. the same with drum sticks. but he gave me one of the playlists that were stuck to the floor.

Merchandising sucked... the guy in charge was a really nice belgian guy.. i talked to him and he said all the good shirts were sold months ago, and all there was left were small size t-shirts. so i told him what a bummer it was, so he told me to hold on, and he found one last XL shirt for me, and when i got home, i checked, and it's too small and tight!!! :(((((( but i got a poster of the band.

I didn't know where the god damn after party was, and people told me it's on saturday, so i went home. but i have a ticket for friday's haifa gig, and i think i'll get a ticket for saturday's gig as well.

oh, and my tape turned out incomplete and with terrible radio reception :(((( but i do have the acoustic sessions they did before the show in good quality and in full.

hi ! .........;-)

i wanna add that danny sang on fell off the floor, man the lyrics from that old song that all saints (i don't think they were ever mentioned here before ;-) covered , which are something like (in french) - "vole vocko she ale'qua.....sesua" ...........????????

btw - the after show was in a place called "freeland" , which is right next to the famous "alanby 52" i don't think there will be more after party in the next shows

........i don't know if i'll go to the saturday show cause klass told me it won't be a "special" gig , so i need to make up my mind, some cd's or the show ???? .........GOD, that's a hard choice ! :-)

i think the really big "crowd hits" on the show were probably suds'n'soda and fell off the floor, man .........and then also ofcourse hottelounge where craig did his mercury rev' cover of holes and roses and little arithmetics and so on ..........
