Topic: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Hey guys,

9 little days left ! We can start discussing once again .....

We already said that we want to meet at 5 o´clock in front of Paradiso and then go to the Rock Cafe - is that o.k. with everybody or have you got other suggestions?!

Maybe some of us should exchange mobile numbers, too - at least the ones that are from other countries and may get lost in Amsterdam while searching for the Paradiso wink  ... So if someone wants to exchange numbers you can just mail them to me and I´ll make a list...

Something else ?!

Aaaah!!! 9 days !!! smile smile smile

Greetz, Eva

Re: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Hi Eva,
9 little days indeed! We are counting the nights too! I am afraid I am not much of a help because it is the first time we come to Paradiso ourselves. We are coming by car so we have to find a parkinggarage near Paradiso. Tom Tom will lead us I hope. We will come to the Rock cafe as soon as possible. Our neighbours- they are coming too- have to bring their kids to away for the night first. Looking forward to meet everybody. It will be a great great evening, that's for sure!!!

Till the 12th!!

Re: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Hallo Eva and Marijke,

1700 in front of Paradiso as told is still o.k. I will be there. Must give the ticket to Micheal Lynch and the 2 tickets to Yvonne from Italy. I come by train and normally must be there in time, but with trains in Holland you never know. Suppose I should be later I will see you all in the Hard Rock Cafe.
Paradiso opens at 1900 and I want to be in time to have a spot in front of the stage. Scott McKeon is playing before Joe!! very good too. Nice combination.
I wear my Bonamassa always on the road'' T shirt.

The Paradiso is very close to the LEIDSEPLEIN, everyone in Amsterdam will know that square. With Tramway lines 1-2-5-7-10-25 very easy to find. Line 1-2-5 are direct connections to the Central Trainstation.
The number of my (former my wife's) mobile is; 06-18766238 but I must say I never use it, so my wife has to give me instructions first!! Hope it will work when needed.

I stay in the Lloyds hotel and we maybe can all do something together Saturday. I have to go back home saturday around 1800.
Any ideas??

Marijke I think there is a parkinggarage very close to Paradiso if I remember well. Last time I was there 8 years ago my friend parked there.
There is another possibility to park near the Museumplein, not far from Paradiso. Another friend always parks there when going to paradiso, he told me yesterday.


Allforummembers who are going to Paradiso please react if It's o.k and if you come definately!!!

See you all there my Bonamassa and band friends.

Greetz Andre Wittebroek.

Re: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Re: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Hi everyone! 

Yeh, I'm getting a little excited about the trip now.  We will be outside Paradiso at 17.00 or meet you all inside Hard Rock Cafe for a few beers.  We are staying near Central Station so will get a tram to Leidseplein and hope we find it ok.  So if you see two lost looking people wandering around come up and say hello as it might be us!  We are leaving on Sunday afternoon so can spend Saturday and Sunday morning sightseeing.
See you all in Amsterdam!

I think that´s pretty much what we will be looking like to, too ... wink

I hope we´ll make it to Paradiso in time - if not, see you at the Hard Rock Café - for all of us that have never been there: if you have a look at map24 it says that it´s only 30 meters away from Paradiso, so it shouldn´t be too hard to find.

Another point: Has someone asked the Paradiso - crew about cameras inside?! I know that Joe doesn´t care / wants us to take pictures and record shows, but I don´t know how the Paradiso is used to handle this ... don´t want to give away my camera at the front door ... I can write a mail to them if nobody has asked yet.

See you all in 8 days! Yippieh!!! smile

OK, I'll be right outside the theatre to meet all of you at 17:00. Look for me, I'm the one who'll be with my yellow labrador Goldie (picture on my avatar) who always wears her Joe sunglasses to all of Joe's shows. I myself, look very much like Goldie (like most people do who have a dog) and I will have my Joe sunglasses on too. I actually got a break on the tickets because I bought one adult ticket and one chlid ticket, Goldie is only 3 years old. I'm thinking that if I put a French beret on her head along with a little dress on her, no one will notice she's a dog. What do you guys think?

give here a red Bull mabye the dog flys bye her self trough the window....it lend wings they say!!!
i was last time with my dog at Joes gig in germany, because i head no one that could take him for the night ........and when i was mutch drunken sleep on a small parking area on the highway i was glad to have him with me ,

Hey Bluesman - I misread your post because at first I thought it would be YOU wearing the French beret and a little dress - ooh la la.  But you can't dress Goldie like that.  It's just not right.  Do you know how cold it can get in October, for goodness sake at least get her an overcoat and scarf.

I wish you could come to Paradiso, in fact I wish you ALL could come.  It's got the makings of a truly memorable night.  The ECJBF (European Convention of Joe Bonamassa Fans) will be holding their annual conference in the Hard Rock cafe and you can be sure we will be making a full report to you all.  Until then, hold the Starship Bonamassa safely in orbit until 12th October.

Re: Amsterdam Paradiso once again

Hello all, new member here.

I'll be at the Paradiso (I live in Amsterdam) and will be delighted to meet other fans. If anyone needs any local help, please feel free to ask.

If money is no object then by all means go to a parking garage, the nearest ones are both on the Marnix Straat within maybe 5-8 minutes walk from the Paradiso. However, if you object to being ripped off, you can still park for free in Osdorp and take a no.1 tram directly to Leidseplein - the journey is about 15 minutes.
