Topic: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

Hello everyone,

I already asked the question in another thread (and there's also the JBXP event page) but I think it's better to open a dedicated thread here.

So, who's going ?

I should be there in the afternoon and since I've never been to Antwerp, all propositions are welcomed.

Oh, I almost forgot, Blok: Parterre A, Rij 2, Stoel 42 smile

See you there!

Hello Plutux,

I'm going to Antwerp next week - and  I don't have a ticket . . .

but maybe I get one in the last minute - like I luckily did in Randers/Denmark this Tuesday . . .

Do you remember Joe's concert at the AB in Brussels in 2009? I stood right next to you and your friend - so be sure that we will recognize us.

Hello everybody,
Unfortunately, i can't go to this concert. Family problem. Sad... sad
My first post here to say that if someone is looking for a ticket, i sell mine at face value, no profit (corbeille)..
As the show is on wednesday, it might not be easy to collect it. Location france, close to the belgian frontier.
Contact me by email if interested.

Hi Estonia, look at the post above. Marlies is looking for a ticket.

I saw that, but it won't be possible for Marlies, who goes to Antwerp by train

I intended to go to Antwerp alone, so no way for me to give the ticket to somebody who could have given it to him in antwerp... I don't know anybody going there from Lille or Tournai...

Re: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

I really regret now i didn't buy a ticket when it was just announced.
And to think Joe performs in my city now .. smile

Re: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

Just an idea Estonia, I don't know much about computers . Would it be possible tp make a scan from your ticket email it to the Elizebethzaal in Antwerp with the message that Marlies can get that seat. Ring the venue first and hear if they agree.  Just an idea to help you out.

Good luck.

Re: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

I'm going! Coming from Ghent wink. Corbeille E... Was really hoping for golden circle tickets but was too late..
Any idea if there will be sold any merchandise at the venue? Also, any idea when it will end? Show opens/starts at 20:15... Got to get back to ghent the same night and will already have little sleep  hmm

I'm really looking forward to it, hoping to get a glimpse of Joe outside after the venue.

Re: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

There's usually some merchandise sold at gigs, and the show should be over by 22:30-23:00. Ghent is way nearer from Antwerpen than Luik. That's an hour-and-a-half drive for me after the show  wink (I'm not complaining at all)

Re: Antwerp, Belgium (May 4th) head count & review!

Yesterday I went to Joe's gig in Antwerp. Great show!!!!
I heard all my favorite guitarplayers pass the revue.Gary Moore,Jeff Beck,Pete Townsend,Django Reinhart,Billy Gibbons,they were all there in one gig.
Best show I ever saw,but..................not the best show I ever heard.Was the sound engineer an apprentice?Too much reverb & delay on the vocals ,the guitar was louder then everything else on stage and that blew the sound in the hall.Drum & bass were difficult to hear anywhere in the hall and even at the F.O.H..So next time please pick a bigger venue or change your soundguy.

Where were you seated ? Because from 2nd row, drums & bass were very audible. Everything was a bit too loud I think. But I must admit the sound was much better at the Ancienne Belgique (better venue, maybe).

Next one seems to be the Cirque Royal in Brussels in October. Have to book that before it's too late!

Awesome show! The sound was too loud, but only the voice? The rest was loud but bearable... His voice really was too loud sometimes.. I've seen him before the show and shot a picture outside. I met him after the show and got my guitar strap signed! It was the best concert I ever saw smile. A very good night.
