It was similar to the one in Lokeren but shorter because I think in Lokeren they got an hour and they only had 45 minutes yesterday. Unlike in Lokeren, though, the weather was very nice all day long. The Dutch crowd was also pretty enthusiastic, there were no half-interested Mötley Crüe fans filling up the front rows this time : )
Enjoy the Struggle, Crooked Timber (that only hits me now, wth? did I remember wrong?), Unbeliever and Stop It You’re Killing Me were dropped out and I think Exiles was played earlier in the set.
So these were the songs, the order is probably not 100 percent correct though: Knives, Screamager, Epilepsy, Stories, Exiles, Isolation, Teethgrinder, Die Laughing, Rust, Potato Junkie, Diane and Nowhere.
Especially Teethgrinder and Diane were absolutely lethal (even more so than usual) this time around. Dave was also there this time in his Chelsea shirt, he was taking pictures and checking out on a Presidents of the USA song with Neil after they were done.
Therapy?’s support acts ( ;) ) were worth it too. The Cult and especially Gary Moore were real discoveries for me - this is perhaps a ridiculous thing to say about bands who have been active for so long, but I’m really happy I got to know them. Gary Moore is a thrilling guitarist and The Cult’s frontman had me LMAO more than once, especially when he said ‘let’s get some underwear on this child, it is really disturbing’ (about the PinkPop brand). I’d already seen the Presidents when I went to see Therapy? for the first time in Lokeren and remembered them - you simply can’t help but smile when you see that man perform : )
My 2nd favourite band Fun Lovin’ Criminals also did very well, it was great seeing both them and Therapy?.
