REVIEW BY NOAM

It was another really cool show.. Tom started by saying "to all the people that were at the gig in tel-aviv, i have bad news for you... this show's gonna be exactly the same.. same songs, same conversation in the middle, same everything"

the club was pretty small... much smaller than the theatre club in tel-aviv, and the crowd didn't seem at all like people who knew dEUS. while waiting for the gates to open, Craig went through the anticipating people, and noone even knew who he was.. i came up to him and asked him a few questions and you'll be interested to know that when my brother asked about Rudy's artwork for the cd's, Craig said the new cover sucks, in these exact words.

the magic hour was played MUCH better than the show in tel-aviv.. it was a great version! hotellounge was pretty much the same, this time with a different and shorter added verse sung by Craig. Instant street was also great, and towards the end they started speeding it up more and more which sounded great. the show ended with WCS in which the band introduction was done, and for some reason tom was not introduced this time. what should be noted is that the crowd pissed dEUS off pretty much, requesting for old songs sometimes. at a certain point, tom said "please stop requesting songs, do we look like a jukebox?!" and someone from the crowd shouted "YEAAAAH!", so dEUS played for 2-3 minutes a medley of about 6-7 songs maybe more including something by led zeppelin i think, jimi hendrix, 4 non blondes (they probably listened to the radio before the show because it was played), smells like teen spirit by nirvana, and a famous song by the pixies they played for about 2 minutes.. i can't remember it's name. and one time in the show they were pissed again about the requests, so tom said "you want other songs? you sing!" and gave the microphone to someone in the crowd who sang a line from "via", then a line from "my wife jan" and tom took the mic back and continued the show. they didn't really care that much, but still it was obvious they didn't like it that much either. also, someone yelled "skip the boring introduction!!" before magdalena, tom laughed, said simply that it's a love song and started playing.

but to sum it up, dEUS were cool about all this stuff and didn't care much, and continued with the show... and it was fantastic!
