My brief review:Last day in January and last show in Leeuwarden, Friesland. The biggest venue in the area where we caught up with our Dutch friends. Adele gave me some photos from Eindhoven which she found in the internet. A stand-up gig, and we had to be quick getting to the front row. Waiting for the doors to open and then running upstairs as fast as we could was not easy with high heels but we succeeded to overtake all the tall guys and got straight to our favourite places!! Bill said some nice words, he thanked the audience for their great support as well as the crew for their good work during the entire tour. Albert played some chords of the Marseillaise for the French crew members Giles and Joffrey. The band were hilarious onstage, lots of banter and laughter. Brilliant show !!! Later we said thank you to everyone, saw them to their bus and waved bye bye.
Ines and I went to the next whiskey bar and drowned our 'tour end blues' in our favourite tipple. This was the end of the Holland Tour. Next morning saw us on our long way home and back to normal - at least for a while ....
Just a few shots by mobile here.
Bill's Diaries:
"De Harmonie, Leeuwarden:
At 8:30pm we went onstage to a sell-out standing audience of 1,000 fans, who included many fans that follow us from show to show. They were very responsive. I introduced the band onstage one-by-one.
Set List (1st Set): 'You Can't Sit Down' (instr); 'Jump Jive & Wail' (Albert Lee); 'Baby Workout' (Beverley Skeete); 'Too Late' (Terry); 'Real Wild Child' (Albert); 'Harlem Shuffle' (Bev/Andy Fairweather Low); 'All Night Long' (Bill Wyman); 'Mystery Train' (Andy); 'I'm Ready' (Albert); 'Drown In My Own Tears' (Beverley); 'Soul Man' (Eddie Floyd); '6345787' (Eddie).
There was a 20-minute interval: we relaxed backstage, then returned for our second set. Set List (2nd Set): 'Muleskinner Blues' (Albert); 'Flatfoot Sam' (Beverley); ' I Shall Not Be Moved' (Andy); 'Race With The Devil' (Terry); 'Hit The Road Jack' (Beverley/All); 'You Never Can Tell' (Bill); 'Bright Lights, Big City' (Andy); 'I'll Be Satisfied' (Beverley); 'Raise Your Hand' (Eddie); 'Knock On Wood' (Eddie).
We left the stage to great applause, then returned for our encores.
Encores: 'I Put A Spell On You' (Beverley); 'Tear It Up' (Albert)
We came offstage to more great applause, relaxed backstage with drinks. Then we packed our stage clothes in our luggage to go home by van."
