I saw a tweet about a free private show in Brussels, you just had to fill a form with a reason why you want to see him. Now I can't find it anymore, sorry!

On my way to Brussels now.
I don't think i'm going to be taping, filming or snapping pictures, i read that others will, so i thought I might just enjoy the show without any technology
Exited!

Okay, let's try to recap...

He started very energetically with coconut skins - woman like a man - volcano. Very receptive crowd. Great atmosphere.

Delicate, beautiful and intimate.

Someone yells 'speak' damien answers (slightly amused) 'i am a singer'

I don't want to change you. Beautiful. (I prefer this intimate version over the one on the record)

Someone yells 'we've missed you'
Damien (amused again) starts talking about how people miss the things they grew up with. (If your parents argued a lot, you go looking for someone to argue with) So, if you missed me, you clearly missed pain.
Let's see, what's my most painful song? Someone yells 'accidental babies'. Damien responds 'yeah, that's pretty painful, but i don't have a piano'
starts playing accidental babies on the guitar (highlight of the evening)

'Here's some more pain. Or torture. What comes after the pain...'
Starts playing the greatest bastard. Amazing version, the best i've seen.

The professor. (With a new story)
Elephant

Talks about recording, having to learn to play his own songs.
My favourite faded fantasy. Hesitates in the beginning, has to start over, but after that no more mistakes. Best live version so far. (Only one i've actually seen )

Trusty and true. (With the audience)

First Encore
He starts to play some spanish guitar improv
Someone requests the blowers daughter (really??) damien obliged.

I remember. Beautiful, powerful, one of my favourites. Completely spellbound.

Cannonball unplugged. Absolute silence in the venue.

Second encore. 'Only time for one song'
Something new something old?
Old won. People yelling for Amie.
'I'll squeeze in two songs'
Amie
Eskimo

Thank you damien, i had a blast.

About stepping in dog ****, and being really angry about it as long as it is stuck on your shoe, but when you clean it, and everything's fine again, you realise you've behaved like a prick.

Oh yeah...about the 'pain' part :P He said not all his songs were about pain, some were also about {AND I COULD NOT CONTAIN MYSELF AND SHOUTED: TORTURE!} ...and he laughed and the 'torture' thing became part of the story. :P
LOL
