We (= EvdWee, me, two non-boardies) should be at the AB around 7:30. PM me your mobile #, or just look for a balding fat sassy jew :D fiddling with his Edirol.

I should be meeting up with metlook and his 3 friends in front of AB around 7:00 and go for a few pints. so i guess whoever from the boardies wants to meet up, we can meet in front of AB around that time. bit of warm up before Sonic fucking Youff! Martin I'm sending you my ph. numb. via PM...


wtat's the weather in Brussels like?

weather reports state that tomorrow should be dry, so no rain. I think that's about as good as it can get there. I hope to finally meet some boardies.

I'm trying to make the soundcheck tomorrow and then check into my hotel with a friend of mine. after that we're heading back to the AB to get some drinks I guess.

no rain. that's great. cold?

would be nice to see you Jef!

uhmm, I should be in Brussels around 8 a clock in the morning. I'd like to do some sightseeing. I think Brussels is not that big, so everything worth of seeing should be pretty much concentrated in city (I'm not really keen on seeing EU parlament, hehehe)? I should do some googling tonight. uhmmm, any good RECORD STORES in town?

A pretty nice vinyl shop is just a little further up ahead the AB. When you have the AB at your left, the record store is situated on the right side of the street a 10 minute walk further. Behind the AB is also a little record shop that has some stuff, can't exactly pinpoint it though.

cool. cheers!

I couldn't make it this time...

I thought the sound was occasionally somewhat bassy, but that might have been my location (near right speaker stack). Otherwise, great performance!

Highlights for me were:
- Stereo Sanctity!
- The fries after the show :D
- Hanging out with EvdWee and his friends
- Meeting greenlight and another boardie (forgot your name, sorry!)

Lowlights:
- Hellish traffic: thus missing pre-show meetup, dinner, and the opening act
- Back home at 3:50 in the morning....feeling sleepy....

jealous.























I want some fries too! :D

mmmm, where is starpower? ;-)

I hope you can surprise us soon with a nice recording ;)

Setlist:

It's quite bassy. Let's see if Tris can work his usual magic. :D

at the moment i am broken...

still: shadow of a doubt, stereo sanctity, tom violence, cross the breeze (very tight version), death valley (Hell yeah!)
and poison arrow is good song. loved massage as well...

is was standing in the back and enjoyed the fact that in belgium the audience does shut up during the concert.

the fog during our trip homewards was hellish...

For the wildly impatient boardies:
You can grab my untracked master plus checksum (sy2009-10-22.flac plus sy2009-10-22.md5) from Utkonos if you follow the normal download instructions at http://sonicyouth.utkonos.org/upload.html.

I loved it, the sound was great in my opinion and it was just a really tight gig overall.
The highlights for me were Shadow of a Doubt, Massage the History, Death Valley 69, Tom Violence, Anti-Orgasm, ... well basically everything really!

I was kinda expecting starpower to enter the Setlist given current happenings. No matter though. Roll on Paris!
