Hi there, Just got back from Luxembourg this afternoon, and thought I would let you guys know how it went. Paris was a small theatre, about 3,000 people, and completely sold out. The queue started at 16.30!! Once in the venue, we took the appointet place at the front and watched the support band, called Thirtyone- sort of like what would happen if Tank Girl joined AC/DC! Then came show time. Starting with a ferocious version of Fireball, the band rocketed through the set, and the whole thing was being taped by the band. This seemed to cause a few moments of nerves, so a couple of mistakes were noted, however it was still a great show, and the crowd were LOUD. No Bloodsucker though. Oh!! one other small feature of the show was ann added horn section! They played on Cascades, No one came, Purpendicular Waltz and Perfect Strangers (I think). It sounded great, a really full sound, over the top of a really full sound! I noticed as I was leaving that someone on the balcony, stage left, had a video camera. If anyone got his address I would love a copy.

Luxembourg was an ice hockey shed on the outskirts of Lux. and looked to hold 6,000 or so, and was packed to the gunnels. More of a normal speed of set , and an excellent sound mix, with Jon finally coming through the sound which was great to hear. It was the same set as Paris, and again the crowd were really loud. No horn sections, but some great solos, and a great vibe. I'm now off to have a sleep, it was a long journey back! See ya, Stephen
