One of the best days of my life! I shall tell you more when I get home on Monday

This is not nearly good enough for a poor man at work who just logged on hoping to read about the show.

No seriously, glad, but not surprised, to hear that you and probably everyone else in the venue, had a good time.

Almost two hours, State Of Love and Trust, Brian impersonating Muddy Watters during Old White Lincoln, singing Mannish Boy, House of Rising Sun, EP's, most of their best songs, the boys making Hollie appear on stage to receive their and our applause because it's the last show being their tour manager after five years...

From where I was standing the sound was really good, I think in only two songs I thought "that doesn't sound like it should", being one The Spirit Of Jazz, but I can't complain, they did an amazing job. They were tired, as we all were, it was exhausting (the heat this days doesn't help) but I went out and I couldn't help smiling. It was their first show ever in Barcelona and I think they'll come back soon.
I was around those bars before the show but I didn't see them, lucky people! I think I was too late.

I'm sure something started yesterday. Great show!

huh? she's not gonna be the manager anymore? i thought they (and us) were thanking her for all of her good work during the past five or six years. but what an awesome moment that was

Haha, that's cool, so you met Brian behind the van after I went too, andy diamond took me over to meet him.

i got tired of waiting around so i went to a bar and then, when i saw that andy diamond took you across the road i went to see what was going on. diamond saw me and gestured me to come over, since he's the one that gave me the setlist and knew i came from luxembourg for the show. after you left, brian came over and we talked for a bit. really cool guys, all of them.
but what was with Brian being on that side of the road? was he hiding or something? xD


brian gestured to the rest of the band "no biloxi, no biloxi", so they didn't play it... don't know why though, would have been awesome. and next time please way more songs from sink or swim!

Brian was on that side of the road because, Andy said to me that Brian was super tired so he took me over there so Brian avoided being seen by the others waiting, so he could go get some rest sooner. Super guys!

Diamond also gave me a setlist before the show started, he took my vinyl for Brian to sign backstage and came back with the vinyl signed and a setlist

Yes, we were thanking her for that and for being her last show with them. She wants to settle in New Jersey and "have babies" as Brian told

Now we have something to ask Brian next time he comes. Why the hell they didn't play Biloxi Parish??? haha
