Ondanks het geluid (jammer) ben ik zojuist toch ongeveer m'n beeldscherm ingekropen. Ook jammer dat ik niet wist dat ze net 'in de buurt' waren. Maar dank voor de clips!

Thanks for sharing this! I saw them in Paris a couple of days later and they played rather short, and in the opinion of many of the band members the Venlo gig had more fire than the one in Paris. So I was quite eager to see some footage.. Thanks again!
