Colour Me In
The blower´s daughter
Trusty & True with the Kaffeebarin choir

wait for him, and met him and talked a bit with him, like 5 minutes ago :)

during the show Stefan requested first The Connoisseur, Damien tried but gave up said he didn´t remember... then he requested What If I´m Wrong, and he played, amazing version, best ever!!! then Mike requested Cross Eyed Bear and he said maybe later but he didn´t... and after the show the first thing he said was oh you were the ones in the front row with the crazy requests :D

Wow, sounds amazing! Super glad to hear he played "What If I'm Wrong," and I hope he starts incorporating it into his shows more frequently because it's one of his best! So happy you guys were there to witness another incredible show!

Incredible show! I'm in freaking Iceland!

What if I'm wrong was awesome!

It takes a lot was just unreal.

Talking to him after the show I told him to practice cross-eyes bear and play it in Brooklyn for us.

I recorded the show. Will upload once I'm back in the states.

:)

number of requests from icelandic people, 0, % of requests of foreigners 100%... number of icelandic people waiting after the show, 0, % of foreigners waiting 100% :D

yay! lucky again :)

did you record "what if i am wrong"?
i will see him on friday at primavera sound, duess i wont get any rare longs like "what if i am wrong there" :(

yes I recorded What If I´m Wrong!!! will upload later... I also recorded most of It Takes a Lot but my camera died cos the version of the song was too long :)

the audience was the most quiet I´ve ever seen, no one shouted anything or requested anything (except the foreigners) during the full gig... Damo didn´t mind and talked like crazy, lots of stories, almost before each song during the second part of the show... he explained the whole story behind What If I´m Wrong for like 5 minutes, how it´s about China-Tibet but in order to write the song, he imagined himself as China and realised he´s also done all kind of things to other people, even metaphorically placing a gun within someone´s mouth... Also told stories before Bastard, Volcano, Long Long Way, Trusty & True... at some point he said something like how in the past he had been very mean to a few people in relationships, and especially to one person in particular... ehem :D :D :D

so glad you guys made it to Iceland for the show, sounds like it was amazing!
cant wait to see the clips and vids :)

not the full thing, sadly my camera died towards the end, it was too long... but there´s the first 10-11 minutes at least, including the clarinet part :)
funny cos before the gig started, we noticed the clarinet and the drums, but thought he was gonna play some songs with a band, didn´t imagine it was gonna be all him :D

Fantastic!!! Thanks guys! I'm so happy you were able to be there. Thanks for sharing your stories and videos. Safe travels.

Thanks, Marti!
(Trying hard not to watch any videos until after the Irish dates though.)

Thank you so much marti!!!

omg. it takes a lot to know a man is a real treat.

I´m sure he´s gonna do It Takes a Lot in the same way in Barcelona... pretty sure he was practising this rock version for the festival season
