3rd June - Brussels - Forest National
We always look forward to the Forest National. On the Emmylou tour it was our first show and it's always a real treat and tonight was no exception.
Danny and I had a little wander around the town, and a quick bite to eat in a particularly average bistro where the maitre-d stands out front and coerces tourists to dine. In a street where competition is fierce, he got us.Then it was back to the Amigo and off through the Brussels traffic to the gig for sound check and a meet and greet. Below, TC (Tom Calcaterra) busily tunes Richard's guitars, a relentless stream of machine head-turning.
This evening's show could be classified as a roaster. The temperature in the hall must have been above a hundred degrees, an utterly incredible crowd, possibly the noisiest of the tour so far. The band was magnificent if a little sweaty. I shot this from the stage during LH at the end. Mike was taking some pics of the band so I grabbed the camera and snapped him, rather badly, but it does convey the atmosphere to some extent.
Robbo and Ben snapped of course by Mike..

A runner back to the hotel bar and we're sitting down to our Leffe blondes and draught Stellas by 10:30.
Did you know that Until Joseph Bramah patented the 'beer engine' in 1785, beer was served directly from the cask and carried to the customer.
