In Amsterdam and Rotterdam they opened with Fat Camp, in Utrecht with Sreamager (have they EVER opened with Screamager before???, not to my knowledge), in Groningen they opened a bit Queen-ish, though (not meant as an insult however). Starting with Little Tongues First you heard the guitar intro first on tape while the band walked on stage and after a ‘couple of intro’s’ they actually started playing themselves (which made my trip to Groningen worthwile). One more tip to everyone desperate for a set-list at the end of the show (it’s just a piece of paper!!! I’m kidding I also long for them when I can’t sleep (???), but here’s my tip: DON’T FUCKIN’ DO IT! Why??? Last March at their gig in Luxembourg I got hold of the setlist and guess what? I found out they first wanted to play SKYWARD AND PUNISHMENT KISS (!!!) and another one as their last three songs, but no they suddenly didn’t feel like it anymore and played DIANE instead (out of all songs…). They replaced those gems with one, ONE, song. So by getting hold of the set-list you actually KNOW what you’ve missed! Which brings me to the next anecdote, one of the most amazing moments in ‘my T?-career’, y’know whadd’I mean, right?, was the fact they opened their 1996 show at the Pinkpop festival with Punishment Kiss. Broadcasted on TV and radio in The Netherlands and Belgium, about 60,000 people in attendance, right after the huge Infernal Love tour, and they open with the B-SIDE of their very first single!!! Fucking amazing!!! Cheers again, bye for now,
