ASBURYJUKES.NET – 30. October, 2009 – So, you don’t expect us to post setlists, do you? Since I’ve never been any good in keeping my mind together enough to write down what’s happening on stage, I decided to use the camera instead. Pushing a camera button, everytime Joe Belia hits the Hi-Hat, that’s almost all I can ask my brain to coordinate when the JUKES are on.
Since Mike Saunders and Dave Perceival have been covering our backs, Gundula and I had a hell of a time up on the balcony at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. And a camera which has been working… other than in Melle, Germany, the night before. So here’s what we brought with us – for those who have not been fortunate enough to see the highlight of this year’s Euro tour… already at the second show.
After (finally) a quiet night in at Marjan’s (thank you Marjan!) we arose feeling resasonably rested for a change and headed into Amsterdam, collecting Maurice, Doug, Karin, Carina and Guido on the way, and set off to see some sights. We visited a photography exhibition with great pics of C Berry, F Domino, J Brown, J Cocker, Stones, Who etc, and peeked into several others in the arty Speigelgraacht area, wended our way over several canals, saw the Beginhof (an old convent, a bit of peace in the centre of the city), rooted through a huge record store, ate pancakes and still were on the steps of the Paradiso by 6 pm.
