Recoreded and shared with Eric's permission.
A killer show with Eric's marvelous story telling and great songs.

Because Matthias was plugged in no line out was free on the simple PA for my recorder, so I had to record with mics.
The result is good, but some (not very disturbing) crowd noise couldn't be avoided. Especially during the first set a drunk woman
was talking a lot.
It also annoyed Eric and the rest of the audience. The remark made during track 9 of the first set was meant for her.
I cut her reaction and her audible talk between songs to delete her from my memory (both real and virtual). My mics didn't pick up
her talk during the songs.

During the first break I walked up to her and gave her some feedback. That helped. For the rest of the concert
she stayed sulkingly in the back of the room or in the hallway.

A few times the housedog walked into the room, which was ok, but she doesn't like to be
patted on the back (she's an old dog with a sore back). Guess who patted her: exactly,her! So the dog barked a few times.

Just imagine: a nice room on the corner of an apartment building, overlooking the harbour of Amsterdam from 2 sides,
an illuminated skyline, wine, beer, good food and Eric Taylor playing in that room with that view. Life can be sweet.
