They are mainly James ;o) I wanted to put my 2 fav ones directly in the post ... but it won't work ...

And the two videos I took:
Let Robeson Sing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWVhhtrmxs8

Definitely was! If you want to stay in touch via fb, twitter or whatever is new and trendy right now, just shoot me a pm! I'd love to!

It was only when I got home that I made the connection to manics.de. I was very active on the mailinglist (manics and MAD) ... Seems like ages ago

the dutch accented singalong of The Everlasting is especially good..or just very special

[mooserevenge]

Got a rather 'special' picture of James as he came out to meet the fans afterwards..



Also loved how they completely stopped traffic for about 15 minutes when the bus tried to maneuver its way through the narrow street full of parked bikes. Some people (sorry, don't know who they were) had to get out and move bikes and even a scooter, the alarm went off. I'm sure now they remember why they hadn;t been to the Netherlands for such a long time..

Haha, I remember the bus having troubles. Did you take more pictures?

[mooserevenge]

Haha yeah it was very funny (though incredibly annoying for other people I imagine )

Of James outside or the concert itself..? Here's a couple but they're not very good I'm afraid



(eeee James!!!!!!!!)

Well, it didn't take them hours, just a few minutes.
Unfortunately this area is one of the busiest ones in the evening. But they seemed to have made it to their ferry in time.

Thanks a lot for the pictures. I thought I might be on one of them outside but it seems at that moment I was already further back.
I like the concert-pics as well, mine are too blurry, I can only use them for myself as a proof that I was there.
