First the setlist, 'en het gaat als volgt': Intro improv Moondance The rabbit field Bombo Love is a heavy brick Song for a dead singer She = like meeting Jesus TV song Our daily reminders Still half a friend The man wolf Moondog Stamina My bond with you and your planet: disco! Jintro & the great luna (slow version; Stef solo, again with some improv) Spacelight one (Stef again playing Tomas' bass upside down) About the successful emotional recovery of a gal named Maria --------------------------------- We need new animals The french trombone How could I resist kissing her on the cheeks? One perfect day --------------------------------- Couldn't she get drowned? Trip to the city Wow, what a show! One of the best I've seen so far by this band (this was my 28th Moondog/Zita Swoon-gig, btw). Energy was superfluous both on and off-stage. Major examples of this were 'Disco', 'Drowned' and 'Stamina'. This was Zita Swoon's last gig in Holland this tour, and the guys really made a big party out of it. Bjorn's daughter was one of the few people who didn't seem to be very interested. Normally, there's a cardboard doll of her on stage. This time, she and her mom were in the front row of the audience, with the little girl sitting on stage and looking at all those people moving strangely. Stef was clearly amused by the sight of her at some times. Afterwards, I again had a small conversation with Laurence, and we talked about the gig in Leeuwarden the night before (with a very mixed audience, including some punks), Mathieu, festivals, guest lists, the homepage, and the lots. Also a fun part of the last few Zita Swoon-days was (re)encountering some of the mailing list's members, like Marie, Jintro, Natascha, Tony, Annet and Karin. All in all, the last few days were a splendid way of spending the weekend which climaxed with a perfect gig last night. Looking forward to the next shows.
