GRACE JONES !!!!!!!!!

Date March 20, 2009

My video:

Much better video:

We just came back from the fantastic concert of Grace Jones in Paradiso Amsterdam. It was everything I had expected.

She sang all her new songs and old hits. And every song a new ensemble.

She started on a scaffolding used a turning plateau and when she sang “Pull up to the bumper” the whole stage became a private dance party because she invited people on stage.

And when she started Slave to the rhythm she “Hula hooped” while singing until the end.

Maxwell Concert Heineken Music Hall

Date October 5, 2008

Last night (5 october 2008) I went to Maxwell’s Concert in the Heineken Music Hall Amsterdam The Netherlands

He opened with This Womans Work, originally from Kate Bush. WOW !!!

I FINALLY SAW HIM !!!!!!!

He came on stage more than one hour too late. He should have started at 20:30 but he started around 22:00. :-(

He played two new songs, of-course the one on his MySpace site Pretty Wings and another one.

He also did the song from All Green "Simply Beautiful".

And of-course all his hits, and sometimes slightly different which was very nice.

At one point he asked us to throw panties on stage. Nobody did at first but then I think a guys underwear was thrown and he put it over his head (?)

He ended with the song Whenever wherever whatever in English AND Spanish.

Than the dream had ended. Too soon.
Well maybe next year he will come back. And his album will finally be released.
