Back to being another great concert on Kasim Sulton’s NOTP Tour!

Tonight the concert was live on a Dutch radio station and the Internet. As I (deliberately) got there late, it meant that I could listen to part of the show in the car.

Chris de Burgh played a nice tribute to George Harrison and sang one of his songs during his set so it meant that he sang five tracks. The special guest was that young group again and their line-up definitely varies as sometimes there are six of them and sometimes seven! They didn’t go down too well with the crowd and some people even booed them as they went to collect their flowers in the encore!

Meat Loaf’s set was great tonight and was very well received by the crowd. Although few people seem to recognise Home By Now, as soon as he starts into No Matter What, lots of people sing along (although often they’ll sing Boyzone’s version!).

Most people know You Took The Words Right Outta My Mouth but, despite all the band, most of the orchestra and all the choir doing the one-two clap, lots of people still just do a one-one clap!

As soon as Laurie Wisefield starts the guitar intro into Anything For Love the crowd start clapping to that tune and the same goes for Paradise By The Dashboard Light. It always amazes me how the women always sing the female parts of that song far louder than the men do the male parts!

A lovely thing happened in Yellow Submarine as Kasim walked across to where the double bass players are and started playing one!! The double base player appeared to be doing the top part for Kasim but he was definitely playing the lower hand (they pluck that song rather than use the bow)! A man of many talents! As Kasim chatted to the double bass player afterwards, it meant that he was left on the stage after all the other "names" had left it so he just exited by the right side.

Roll on tomorow night…..!
