Beeckestein Pop, Velzen, Netherlands 08/06/96 by JAN WILLEM BRAAT

I haven't written the songs down during the concert, so if i forget anything, don't blame me. Anyway, after i had seen metal molly and the undeclinable ambuscade, moondog started with the soundcheck. It was surprising that Stef did a lot of the checking himself. You could see that he wasn't in a very good mood. While testing the microfones he sang a few things from hotellounge and from wcs. They started of with Spike Smith's for all lost goods. They also played moondog and the song i know as "switchblade". You could see Stef was in a really bad mood. When he and Tom where alone on stage, they played shal i let this good man in?. Halfway during the song Stef just broke it of and it was silent for a few seconds. Next to jintro, jacky and ice guitars they played a song i haven't got on tape yet. I think it is called "ragdoll blues". As they went of the stage there was a lot of applause and the crowd was cheering for more. They came back and played a really funny improvitation (i don't know if this is english but i'll have to do). After that they played the richochet and then left the stage. During their performance i saw someone recording the show. I later asked if i could copy it, but she said i couldn't. She said it would be broadcasted on the radio. A local station or program called "kanaal kabaal" will broadcast a couple of song on thursday the 13th of june from 21:00 to 23:00. If anyboddy lives in the neighbourhoud, the frequenties are on cable FM104.5 and in the air 107.8. I hope anyone can record it. After the show Jesse and I tried to get backstage with our pinkpopbracelets and it worked. The band was talking, but Stef was all by himself getting his stuf and helping the crew. Moondog Jr. may be performing on Lowlands to promote the soundtrack for the movie. And they will play in Nighttown, Rotterdam on the fifth of july. Flowers for Breakfast, the band of Tom an Benjamin, have got a single out in Belgium called "onions" and they will be releasing an album in september. We also had a lot of questions for Stef but he wasn't very talkative. That's about it. One last remark. I think Moondog Jr. are better when they play inside.
