It was a great performance tonight by Thomas and his fine musicians. Great interpretations of old classics like I Love You Goodbye and She Blinded Me With Science, as well as new classics like Toad Lickers, Spice Train and Road To Reno. Biggest surprise of tonight was Field Work.
The venue was very small and so was the stage. They just fitted in! Afterwords we had a chat with Thomas and he told us that he wanted to play again in Amsterdam next year, but in a larger venue. I had a wonderful evening so I can't wait until the next time!

Yes BDman, i couldn't agree more. Such a lovely performance.

At the beginning Thomas was clearly struggling with his voice but after a song or two it was ok. The band even did close harmony'on Field Work. The sole inhabitant tour was great but the setting as a complete band brings so much more depth! And Dolby's humor full comments made the story complete.

My favorites: I love you goodbye, Eastern block, Evil twin brother :evil: :evil: , and of course without any doubt THE FLAT EARTH!

THANK YOU THOMAS!!

There was a guy on the balcony who Thomas kept asking to stop filming during the Eastern Bloc encore - maybe that was a pro cammer..

Not sure Thomas was happy.

I think that's why he didn't play the second encore :cry:

I've never been able to understand folks who won't respect an artist's requests at gigs. If nothing else, it's good manners to comply.
