It started of pretty good. Me and a friend went looking for DAA because they were not in the schedules for the main halls. After asking about this somebody from Nighttown showed us to the attic of Popular even though they weren't gonna play for some time. There we asked someone at what time DAA was gonna play. He said he wasn't sure 'cos not all band members had arrived yet. So i asked if he knew the band. He turned out to be the accordeon (is it called that in English too?) player. Since he didn't have much to we talked for a while. He told some thing about their supporting Moondog Jr. They are not only going to play before them but there will also be some songs they'll play together. When the conversation got to dEUS he told about a dEUS single that has dEUS songs and their version of Suds & Soda. I had never heard about this but it seems to exist. Their music own music is really great, but it was also really cool when they played together with Moondog Jr. Four members of Moondog Jr. (Aarich was not there) and the four DAA members walked through Nighttown in a row while playing the Moondog song Spike Smith's For All Lost Goods. This was really fun and nice to see & hear. Moondog Jr. did not play alone.

One of the first things in the main hall was Think Of One. They had Tom Pintes, Thomas De Smet and Benjamin Botreur (all Moondog Jr.) in the band. They made really cool jazz like music with some world music influences. At times they sounded like Moondog Jr. (suprise ;-)), Morphine and Frank Zappa. Cool!

Luckily we were back in Nighttown just in time to see a surprise performance by eight people, from who it was not difficult to recognize the members of Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung and Moondog Jr. (except for Aarich). Unfortunately, Moondog Jr. didn't have their own performance (as I expected), but this small intermezzo partly made up for this. Stef, wearing some sort of police cap and squeaking through a megaphone, and the others did an improvised rendition of 'Spike Smith's for all lost goods'. This ensemble could be seen later on again during Die Anarchisten's third performance, but unfortunately I missed this.
